OFFICIAL G@AL-HI RULES Page 9

THE GAME

Goal-Hi is played by two teams of five players* each with
one common basket or goal. The ball is passed from one
player to another and the purpose of each team is to score
as many points as possible by tossing the ball into the
common basket, and at the same time prevent the other
team from securing the ball or scoring.

*For playground and school purposes, where more children
are to be accommodated, it is perfectly permissible to double
the number of players on each team, using the same rules
as the official game. For rules governing the game for
physically handicapped children, see pages 30 and 31. .

RULE 1
The Playing Court

Section 1. The playing court shall be a circular area and
shall have a maximum dimension of 30 feet in radius for
outside play, or 25 feet in radius for indoor play. The mini-
mum dimension for outdoor play shall be 20 feet radius,
and 15 feet radius for indoor play.

Section 2. The playing court shall be marked with lines
not less than 2 inches in width, and the boundary line
shall be not less than 3 feet from any obstruction. The
outer circle shall be termed the “out of bounds” line. A
second circle concentric with the out of bound line shall
be drawn with a radius exactly one-half the radius of the
out of bounds circle, and this line shall be termed the “free
throw” line. (For example: On a 30 foot radius court the
free throw line shall have a 15 foot radius, and on a 15
foot radius court the free throw line shall have a 7p foot
radius, etc.) A third inner circle with a 4 foot radius shall
be drawn around the goal concentric with the free throw
line, and shall be fermed the “restraining circle”.
