penalty throws
Free throw attempts
Penalty throws are free throws awarded in sports when an opponent commits a foul, giving the fouled team an uncontested scoring opportunity.
The term appears in handball, water polo, and similar games where a player throws at the goal from a designated spot while only the goalkeeper defends: She scored on both penalty throws.
