1. Handling the Ball
1.1 Any player may hand the ball backward at any time.
1.2 During a scrimmage down, a team player may hand the ball forward behind the line only:
a. To any line player who has clearly faced his/her goal line by moving both feet in a half-turn and is at least 1 yard behind the line when he/she receives the ball.
b. To a teammate who, at the snap, was behind his/her scrimmage line or on an end of his/her line and was not the snapper.
