    THE FIELD LAYOUT

    THE FIELD DIMENSIONS


    LINES - all lines are part of the field of play

    TOUCH LINE- When the ball goes over these lines on either side it is out of play
    and a throw-in is taken by the opposing team to re-start the game.

    GOAL LINE- When the ball passes over these lines that the goal bars are on,
    except when a goal is scored, the ball is said to be out of play. Play is re-started
    by:

    * a goal kick - when the ball has last be touched by an attacking player.

    * a corner kick - when the ball has last been touched by a defending player.

    HALFWAY LINE- This divides the field into two equal halves for two reasons:

    *kick-off - when all players remain in their own half until the kick-off has been
    taken.

    * offside- once in his own half a player cannot be offside at the moment that his
    teammate plays a ball.

    A MATCH

    Usually captains usually shake hands before a match and then the home captain
    tosses a coin and the visiting captain has the call. The team that wins the toss:

    1. Has the choice of which side his team will attack in the first half. The opposing
    team will then have the kick-off.

    2. The team that wins the toss then has the kick-off when the second half starts.
    Teams change sides after a half and attack the opposite goal.

    A kick -off is used:

    *To start a match

    *After a goal has been scored


    *To start the second half of a match

    * To start any periods of extra time

    A GOAL MAY BE SCORED DIRECTLY FROM A KICK-OFF


    PROCEDURE - all players must be in their own half of the field of play • the opponents of the
    team taking the kick-off are at least 9.15 m (10yds) from the ball until it is in play • the ball must
    be stationary on the centre mark • the referee gives a signal • the ball is in play when it is kicked
    and moves forward • the kicker must not touch the ball again until it has touched another player
    After a team scores a goal, the kick-off is taken by the other team.

    DURATION OF PLAY
    The game is divided into two equal halves of 45 minutes each. The half
    time period must be stated but must not exceed 15 minutes. The referee
    can add on time for time lost in substitutions, removal from the field of
    injured players, time wasting or other causes.
