How are people reading this?
Throw: shall be given its ordinary meaning, but also includes the act of propelling the football with one or both hands in a scooping motion. A Player does not throw the football if the Player hits, punches or taps the football without taking possession of the football.
Because I read, "A Player does not throw the football if the Player hits, punches or taps the football without taking possession of the football.", as it's ok to do these things if the player didn't have possession prior to the hit/punch/tap. So out of the air, after a throw-in, or off the ground. Not after being in possession and then throwing it in the air.
Law 15.3.1
A Player Correctly Disposes of the football if the Player Kicks or Handballs the football.
The term ‘kick’ is defined as follows
Kick or Kicking: in relation to disposing of the football, means making contact with the football with any part of the Player’s leg below the knee.
