o Play the ball with the rounded side of the stick.

o Charge, hit, shove or trip an opponent.

o Play the ball in a potentially dangerous way.

o Raise the stick above the waist in a dangerous manner while attempting to play or stop the ball.

o Advance the ball by any means other than with the stick.

o Stop or deflect the ball in the air or on the ground with any part of the body.
