A drop ball is performed whenever the game is stopped for a reason other than the other 7 prescribed restarts. Think of it as a catch-all.

In practice this is most often a no-fault restart. A dangerous situation for really young kids (where no single player is at fault) or interference from off the field, maybe a dog runs in and takes off with the ball.

Any stoppage in play that is not a free or penalty kick. So if a player gets hurt or a ref needs to remove an object from the field, etc . . it would be a drop ball.

They are signifying to the referee when or if the ball went out of play that it was kicked out by the opponent and their team should get possession.
