Introduction of Soccer Rules - Part 2

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. The two basic soccer rules for a proper throw-in are to have both feet on the ground and to throw the ball with both hands over the head. Corner Kicks & Goal Kicks A corner kick or goal kick is taken when the ball leaves the field across a goal line – you know, either end of the field with a goal.

Continue with the Introduction of Rule... Fouls and Punishment The common rule of thumb on fouls is “If it looks like a foul, it probably is.”. Some soccer rules are actually not black-and-white.

Continue with the Introduction of Rule... Direct & indirect Free Kicks Direct and indirect kicks are two primary ways that play is restarted after the referee stops play for an infraction. In both situations, the ball must be stationary before it is kicked and the opposing players should be a minimum of 10 yards away. The 10-yard allowance is often reduced for the smaller age groups and is left up to the discretion of the referee. The simple difference between the two is this: On a direct kick you can score by kicking the ball directly into the goal. On an indirect kick you cannot score - An indirect kick must be touched by another player before it can go into the goal – that is the kicker and a second person. Penalty Kick It occurred from a contact foul or hand ball by the defending team within the penalty area. it’s a type of direct kick also. All players must remain outside the penalty area and the penalty arc until the ball is kicked. The goalkeeper mu
