Law 16 - The Goal Kick 9/27/2016

RE: Premier Under 15

Eddy Santamaria of Omaha, NEbraska USA asks...

What happens if the goalie is taken the goal kick an miss-kick the ball across the PA ad stops inside the PA. Can the forward from the attacking team standing outside the PA come in a get the ball and score?

Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol

The ball is not in play until it leaves the penalty area. So another player cannot come into the PA and play the ball.

The goal kick must be retaken.

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Eddy
The ball must exit the penalty area on all defending kicked restarts from inside the penalty area. Once the kicker or a second player touches the ball INSIDE the penalty area the kick is retaken.
