View Referee Chuck Fleischer profileAnswer provided by Referee Keith Contarino If you mean after a goal KICK is awarded, the answer is still no. Once the ball is placed on the ground it stays there. There is no reason other than to waste time to move the ball. The proactive referee will simply blow the whistle and tell the player to put the ball back at the original spot. This tactic is tried at lower levels of play because coaches of young kids have the mistaken belief they can fool the opponents by moving the ball. Having seen this tactic allowed many times, it fools no one as the opponents simply move with the player taking the goal kick.
