Question Number: 22991Law 1- The Field 3/24/2010RE: competitive Adult andyparry of shrewsbury, shropshire england asks...Can a tee be used to raise the ball off the ground when taking a goal kick? Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Andy
No, this would definitely not be allowed nor would making a mound with the foot be allowed either. Having said that many of the pitches that we play on don't have Premier League standard playing surfaces so it is easy to find a raised spot to place the ball on somewhere inside the goal area. In a number of recent games I have watched goalkeepers scuff the ground with the boot to make a 'mark' to place the ball on . Some referees see this as trifling and let it slide while other will take action with either a reprimand or a caution.

If one wishes to use tees, one should play either golf or American style pointy ended football.
