What does a penalty for illegal use of hands entail?

A penalty for illegal use of hands is enforced as a 10-yard penalty from the spot of the foul. This type of foul typically involves a player using their hands or arms to make illegal contact with an opponent, such as blocking or holding without a proper technique. The 10-yard enforcement is specified in the rules to ensure that the penalty adequately addresses the infraction's impact on the play. This enforcement not only penalizes the offending team but also attempts to maintain the integrity of fair play on the field. The spot of the foul refers to where the infraction occurred, and the yardage is marked from that position, impacting the subsequent down for the offending team.
