View Referee Chuck Fleischer profileAnswer provided by Referee Gary Voshol Law 16 doesn't explicitly say the ball must be stationary, as it does in Law 13. However it is generally accepted that all provisions of free kicks also apply to kickoffs, penalty kicks, goal kicks and corner kicks, except where the particular Law has a more specific provision (such as a kick that must go forward).
