Question Number: 16924Law 14 - Penalty kick 9/26/2007RE: select Under 16 cristian d. of watertown, ny U.S.A asks...can a goalie move forward prior to the ball being kicked on a penalty kick? Or can I only move side to side? Answer provided by Referee Steve Montanino Only side to side my friend, only side to side. Now if you cheat, you might get away with it, but you can always get caught too! Choose your actions wisely.

View Referee Steve Montanino profileAnswer provided by Referee Keith Contarino Ref Montanino is absolutely correct. That said, you will notice on television that keepers come off their line all the time before the PK is taken. You'll also notice players running into the penalty area before the kick is taken which is also forbidden. It appears that those refereeing the highest levels of play either do not want to enforce Law 14 or find all these infractions to be trifling.
