Soccer Rules - Goal Kick

If a player who has taken a goal kick correctly deliberately plays the
ball a second time when the ball has left the penalty area before
another player has touched it, an indirect free kick is awarded to the
opposing team in the position where the second touch occurred (see
Law 13 – Position of Free Kick). However, if the player touches the
ball with his hand, he must be penalized with a direct free kick and a
disciplinary sanction if required.

See the training video info HERE for more soccer skills.


If an opponent enters the penalty area before the ball is in play and is
fouled by a defender, the goal kick is retaken and the defender may
be cautioned or sent off depending on the nature of the offence.

• The ball is kicked from any point within the goal area by a player
of the defending team
• Opponents remain outside the penalty area until the ball is in play
• The kicker must not play the ball again until it has touched another
player
• The ball is in play when it is kicked directly out of the penalty area

 

If the ball is not kicked directly out of the penalty area from a goal
kick:
• the kick is retaken
Goal kick taken by a player other than the goalkeeper
If, after the ball is in play, the kicker touches the ball again (except with
his hands) before it has touched another player:
• an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team, the kick to
be taken from the place where the infringement occurred (see Law
13 – Position of Free Kick)
If, after the ball is in play, the kicker deliberately handles the ball before
it has touched another player:
• a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team, the kick to be
taken from the place where the infringement occurred (see Law
13 – Position of Free Kick)
• a penalty kick is awarded if the infringement occurred inside the
kicker’s penalty area

Goal kick taken by the goalkeeper
If, after the ball is in play, the goalkeeper touches the ball again (except
with his hands) before it has touched another player:
• an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team, the kick to
be taken from the place where the infringement occurred (see Law
13 – Position of Free Kick)
If, after the ball is in play, the goalkeeper deliberately handles the ball
before it has touched another player:
• a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the infringement
occurred outside the goalkeeper’s penalty area, the kick to be taken
from the place where the infringement occurred (see Law 13 –
Position of Free Kick)
• an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the
infringement occurred inside the goalkeeper’s penalty area, the
kick to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred
(see Law 13 – Position of Free Kick)
