▪ Rational: This is for players who are unable to kick it far enough, instead of the game being stopped
because the player touches the ball again. Only use this restart if necessary.
o THE GOAL KICK – considered a DIRECT free kick, a goal can be scored from it. The goal kick will be taken within 2-3
yards from the goal line anywhere from inside the crease area (goal area). The defending team must retreat to the
half-way line only on goal kicks. The team may re-enter the opponent’s half
once the ball has left the penalty area of the defending team.
o A CORNER KICK OR DRIBBLE-IN – considered a DIRECT free kick, a goal can be scored from it. If the defending team
was the last one to touch the ball, the corner kick will be taken from the corner of the field where the goal line
meets the sideline (where available) or from next to the cone that marks the corner of the field. The corner kick will
be taken from the same side of the field where the ball went out of play. The player can choose to Dribble-In from
the corner spot. The ball is in play as soon as the ball is touched. The opponents must be at least 4 yards away from
the ball until it is in play.
