Question Number: 13621League Specific 8/31/2006RE: Rec Other Eric Scism of Edmond, OK USA asks...This question is a follow up to question 13494 This is more of a comment than question. The local rules where I will be officiating play U8 games on a field with no penalty area. They also play with no keeper. The rules for a goal kick are the ball in the goal box area and opponents give the same approprtiate distance as any other free kick. Therefore, there is no issue of not clearing the penalty area.
Good luck, as I also have just completed the 09 certification course. Answer provided by Referee Ben Mueller Yeah, they have different *wierd* rules for U8 games. I know here in WI no dfk for U8 all kicks are indirect. I notices that I am more of a teacher than a referee when I do U8 games. Kind of fun!
