Continue with the Introduction of Rule... Start and Restart A kick-off is the way a soccer game is started or restarted: -            at the start of a game -            after a goal has been scored -            at the start of the second half (or each quarter in younger ages) -            at the start of each period of extra time, if used Throw-ins A throw-in is taken when the ball crosses a sideline and leaves the field.
