while controlling the ball.
• Goalkeeper playing the ball with his
hands when the ball is kicked by a team-
mate.
• Intentionally wasting time.
(These three Goalkeeper Infringement
fouls will not usually be called in young
children’s games.) When the referee stops
play by blowing his whistle for a minor
foul, the opposing team is awarded an
indirect free kick. A goal cannot be scored
directly from an indirect free kick. The
ball must be played by a player other than
the one taking the indirect kick, before a
legal goal can be scored.
Misconduct - There are two kinds of
misconduct:
• When an action results in a caution or a
“yellow card” from the referee. A referee
may warn a player to improve his conduct
before a caution is issued.
• When an action results in a player being
ejected from the game, a “red card”. The
referee has the authority to “red card”
coaches or spectators because of miscon-
duct or interference of the game.
LAW 13 - Free Kick
There are two types of free kicks: Direct
and Indirect. The types of fouls that result
in a free kick are described in LAW 12.
Direct Free Kick: On a direct free kick,
the ball may be kicked directly into the
goal for a score by the player taking the
kick. The direct free kick is taken at the
spot where the foul occurred, unless it is
within the penalty box. Then a penalty
kick is awarded.
Indirect Free Kick: A goal can be scored
only if the ball is touched by one or more
players from either team, after it is kicked
into play and before it enters the goal.
There are a few rules that are followed on
a free kick, they are:
• The referee will signal an indirect free
kick by putting one arm straight up into
the air.
• The ball must be stationary when it is
kicked.
• The team taking a free kick is entitled to
have all opponents at least 10 yards from
the ball when the free kick is taken.
• The kicker may kick the ball if the oppo-
nents are closer than 10 yards if he wishes.
• The kicker may ask the referee to move
the opponents back 10 yards from the ball.
The kicker must then wait until the referee
blows his whistle before taking the free
kick.
• If a free kick is taken within 10 yards of
the opponent’s goal, opposing players may
stand on their own goal line between the
goal posts.
• A free kick by the defending team within
its own goal area may be taken from any
point within the half of the goal area in
which the free kick was awarded.
• An indirect free kick by the attacking
team within the defending teams goal area
is taken on the six-yard line at the point
nearest to where the foul was committed.
(The six-yard line is the line that outlines
the goal area).
• The player taking the free kick must not
play the ball again after it has been kicked
into play until another player, from either
team, has touched the ball.
LAW 14 - Penalty Kick
A penalty kick is awarded when a de-
fender commits a penal or major foul with
the penalty area. The team that was fouled
is given a penalty kick from the penalty
mark. All players except the goalkeeper
must remain outside the penalty area and
penalty arc until the kick is taken. The
defending goalkeeper must stand on the
goal line, between the goal posts and is not
allowed to move until the ball is kicked.
If the goalkeeper moves and the penalty
shot does not score, then the penalty
kick is retaken. Encroachment is when a
player enters the penalty area or penalty
arc before the ball is kicked. If a defender
encroaches, then a scoring shot counts, a
non-scoring shot is retaken. If an attacker
encroaches, a scoring shot is disallowed
and the kick is retaken. If the shot was
non-scoring then the defending team gets
an indirect free kick or a goal kick depend-
ing on where the ball is when the referee
blows his whistle. If both teams encroach,
the penalty kick is retaken whether it was
a scoring shot or not. The penalty kick
must go forward and cannot be played
again by the kicker until another player
has touched the ball.
LAW 15 - Throw-in
A throw-in is taken to restart a game after
the ball goes out of play over the touch-
line. A throw- in is taken by a player from
the team, which did not touch the ball last.
The player throwing the ball in must have
both feet on the ground and both hands
on the ball over his head. Both feet must
remain on or behind the touchline. The
thrower must throw the ball with equal
strength from both hands from the back
of the head and over the top of the head.
The thrower must not play the ball again
until another player from either team has
touched the ball. A player cannot score
a goal directly from a throw-in. A player
in the offside position receiving the ball
directly from a throw-in is not offside.
LAW 16- Goal Kick
The box located directly in front of the
goal is ca11e1 the goal area. When the
attacking teari last touches the ball before
it crosses over the goal line, the defending
team is awarded a goal kick. A goal kick
is taken by any player on the defending
team. The ball must be played from within
the half of the goal area on the side of the
field where the ball went out of play. The
opposing team must remain outside of
the penalty area until the ball completely
leaves the goal area. The goal kick is
played again if the ball does not leave the
penalty area, if the ball crosses the goal
line before leaving the penalty area or if
the ball is played again by a player from
either team before it leaves the penalty
area. The kicker may not play the ball
again until another player from either team
touches the ball. A player in the offside
position receiving the ball directly from a
goal kick is not offside.
LAW 17- Corner Kick
If a ball goes over the goal line and is last
touched by the defending team, the attack-
ing teams is awarded a corner kick. The
corner kick is taken from within the corner
arc on the side of the field where the ball
went out of play. The corner kick may be
taken by any player on the attacking team.
The kicker is allowed to score a goal by
kicking the ball directly into the goal. The
opponents must be 10 yards back from the
ball on a corner kick. The kicker is not al-
lowed to play the ball again until a player
from either team touches the ball. A player
in the offside position receiving the ball
directly from a corner kick is not offside.
