GOAL KICKS

​

If the ball goes behind the deadball line for a goal kick, the goalkeeper restarts by kicking the ball from the ground.  They can place the football anywhere within their goal area.

​

If the goalkeeper catches the ball they are allowed to throw the ball or place it/roll it on the ground and kick it.  They cannot kick out of their hands or drop kick on the half-volley. 

 

Once the goalkeeper places the ball on the ground it is live and the opposition can play the ball.
