How should players position themselves during a throw-in?

Players should position themselves during a throw-in by staying in their designated areas to maintain the integrity of the game and ensure fair play. During a throw-in, the player designated to take the throw must perform the action while opponents are positioned at least 2 meters away. This rule is in place to prevent interference and ensure that the team taking the throw-in has a clear opportunity to play the ball. Adhering to designated areas helps prevent disputes and keeps the game orderly.

Options suggesting that players can encroach the area or that only the player with the ball can move would not align with the rules governing netball throw-ins, which emphasize proper spacing and positioning for all players involved. Additionally, players remaining outside the boundary is a misunderstanding of the regulations, as they are expected to be within certain areas during specific plays, such as a throw-in.
