Jump ball (almost always, barring any unusual circumstances, i.e. technical foul) needed to start the first extra period and any additional extra periods, and, of course, the start of the game.

4-28-1: A jump ball is a method of putting the ball into play to start the game and each extra period by tossing it up between two opponents in the center restraining circle, or as in 7-3 before the alternating possession procedure has been established.

7-3-2: If the alternating-possession procedure has not been established, play must be resumed by a jump ball between the two players involved in the center restraining circle.

6-4-1: Other than the start of the game and each extra period, the teams will alternate taking the ball out of bounds for a throw-in.

6-4-Note: When the alternating-possession procedure has not been established, the jump ball shall be in the center restraining circle between the two players involved in the subsequent action.
