When
a game is being played on an indoor playing court and the ball
accidentally hits the ceiling, the game is
restarted by a kick-in, awarded to the opposing team to the
one which last touched the ball.
The
kick-in is taken from a point on the nearest touch line to the
intersection between either touch line and the imaginary line
that runs parallel to the goal line and the place below where
the ball hit the ceiling
