After a foul the player who has been fouled is allowed to position themselves anywhere they wish 8 meters from the crease. If the foul was a major foul all of the other players must stand at least 4 meters behind the player taking the free position. On a minor foul they are allowed to stand four meters to the side. A referee puts the ball in the head of the stick of the player taking the free position who then can pass or shot the ball or run with the ball.
