Law 13 - Free Kicks 5/15/2017James Douglas of Princeton, WV USA asks...On a free kick in the attacking side of the field the defense retreats 10 yards. Before the kick is taken the defense moves in 2 steps. The offensive players do not move and are still 10 yards from the ball when the ball is kicked but they are in fro...
Read The Full Q & A Law 13 - Free Kicks 4/22/2017Israel Maciel of South Gate, California United States asks...Lately I have seen referees not requiring the defensive team players to move 20 yards away from the ball. Referees argue that if the team taking the free kick doesn't ask for the distancia, he doesn't have to ask defensive players to respect that dis...
Read The Full Q & A Law 13 - Free Kicks 4/13/2017Carlos of Mountainside, NJ USA asks...A free kick has been awarded to the attacking team a couple of yards outside the penalty box.

Read The Full Q & A Law 13 - Free Kicks 4/7/2017Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, VA United States asks...This is a weird one I still can't figure out. This is a DFK restart for blue, and for some reason I can't detect there's a violation that results in an IFK for white from the same spot.
The only thing I can figure is that the wind had cause...

Read The Full Q & A Law 13 - Free Kicks 3/9/2017David Youngs of Irvine, CA United States asks...On a free kick the player quickly takes the kick and kicks it directly at an opponent about 1 yard from the ball. He kicked it lightly so as to have it bounce back to him so he could play the ball. This was an intentional play on his part.
Should...
Read The Full Q & A Law 13 - Free Kicks 3/8/2017Jon of New York, New York United States of America asks...According to Law 13, shouldn't any player who deliberately runs up and plants themselves in front of a free kick (clearly less that 10 yards) be shown a caution for Delaying the Restart of Play?
I am constantly telling players 'You know what...
Read The Full Q & A Law 13 - Free Kicks 2/25/2017Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...I have a related question. Suppose the GK picks up the ball about 3 feet from the goal line & just off to one side of the goal area.
Where do the defenders stand for the IFK?
Since the goal area extends 5.5 meters past the goal p...
Read The Full Q & A Law 13 - Free Kicks 2/23/2017Bill Shaw of Pinckney, Mi USA asks...I have a question on a pass back to the goalie by the defending team. If the goalie is standing on the six yard line, is the ball place at this spot because it's where the goalie committed the foul?
This means the goalie and most likely his team...
Read The Full Q & A Law 13 - Free Kicks 2/21/2017Gray O'Brien of Santa Monica, CA USA asks...With time running out, an IFK foul committed by the defending goalkeeper occurs in the penalty area about 5 paces outside the goal area (teammate directly passes ball back to her keeper, keeper picks up ball in her hands). The CR for some reason tell...
