RE: COMPETTIVE Under 13

Ginger of OKLAHOMA CITY, OK USA asks...

What is a ref call 'kick in the box'?

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Ginger
I believe you are referring to a 'goal kick' which is the kick taken by either a goalkeeper or a defender from inside the small 6 yard area in front of the goal after the ball has gone out over the goalline last touched by an player from the attacking team.
