Frequently appears as a compound modifier: 'the back-pass rule', 'a back-pass violation'.

用法筆記

Distinguish from sense 1 (SOCCER RULE): this sense refers to any backward pass in team sports, without the goalkeeper-handling restriction. In soccer specifically, a general back pass is legal; only a deliberate kick to the goalkeeper triggers the back-pass rule.

常見錯誤

❌The hockey player's back pass was against the rules.
✅In field hockey, a back pass is a legal tactical move as long as it follows the code of play.
💡The back-pass rule (no goalkeeper handling) applies only to soccer, not to other sports that use the term.
