How is a goal scored from a dropped ball achieved?

A goal scored from a dropped ball can only be achieved after the ball touches the ground and is then played by at least two players. This ensures that the play is legitimate and that there is a team interaction involved. The rule requires that the ball must first hit the ground before players can engage with it, emphasizing fair play and safety within the game.

If the ball were to go directly into the goal without being touched by players after hitting the ground, it would not count as a goal because the laws of the game stipulate the need for player involvement in scoring situations. Thus, for a goal to be valid in this context, the initial drop must be followed by at least two players making contact with the ball, confirming its active play state before any scoring can occur.
