The kick-off is known as just that - the kick-off. It is signaled by the referee as one long blow on the whistle. It occurs at the start of each half, the start of each period of extra time, and after any goal is scored. A kick off is direct meaning a goal may be scored directly from a kick-off.

The Sprint. The person closest to the referee on each team sprints to the center when the whistle is blown, and whoever reaches the ball first flicks the ball back to the Trailer (who is swimming close behind the sprinter to get the ball).
