According to the rules:
14:5 The player who is taking the 7-metre throw must take up a position behind the 7-metre line, not further away than 1 metre behind the line (15:1, 15:6). After the whistle signal from the referee, the thrower must not touch or cross the 7-metre line before the ball has left his hand (15:7, 3rd paragraph; 13:1a).
