3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it.
5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the infringement of this rule by any player shall count as a foul.
8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal.
9. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent.
13. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner.

What is shouldering and what's the sign for it?
