Helping football kids achieve their sponsorship goal!
A goal kick is awarded when the whole of the ball
passes over the goal line, on the ground or in the air, having last touched a
player of the attacking team, and a goal is not scored. A goal may be scored
directly from a goal kick, but only against the opposing team; if the ball
directly enters the kicker’s goal a corner kick is awarded to the opponents if
the ball left the penalty area. The ball must be stationary and is kicked from
any point within the goal area by a player of the defending team. The ball is
in play when it leaves the penalty area. Opponents must be outside the penalty
area until the ball is in play
If the ball does not leave the penalty
area or is touched by a player before it leaves the penalty area the kick is
retaken.If, after the ball is in play, the kicker touches the ball again before
it has touched another player an indirect free kick is awarded; if the kicker
deliberately handles the ball: A direct free kick is awarded. A penalty kick is
awarded if the offence occurred inside the kicker’s penalty area unless the
kicker was the goalkeeper in which case an indirect free kick is awarded
If an opponent who is in the penalty
area when the goal kick is taken, or enters the penalty area before the ball is
in play, touches or challenges for the ball before it has touched another
player, the goal kick is retaken. If a player enters the penalty area before
the ball is in play and fouls or is fouled by an opponent, the goal kick is
retaken and the offender may be cautioned or sent off depending on the offence.
