6.3 Penetration into the opponent's court

While the ball is in play, a player may not enter the opposing team's court. The decisive factor is whether (at least) one full foot enters the opponent's court. As long as a part of the foot that touches the opponent's court is still on or above the centre line.

Impor­tant

A player lying in the opponent's court with his upper body does not commit a fault, as long as he does not interfere with the opponent's play.
