∙ 6y agoYes, but it depends on how it was passed to them.
There are restrictions when a team mate kicks it it to their own goal keeper.

∙ 8y agoI believe you mean the penalty area. The goal area is the smaller rectangle.
If the ball was passed to the goalkeeper by a teammate with their foot then this is an indirect free kick offense. In all other cases this is allowable.

∙ 12y agoThis would depend on how the goal keeper received it in the first place. If it was kicked or thrown-in to them directly from a team-mate then they cannot pick it up. Otherwise, it is allowed.

Can a goalkeeper in soccer pick up a ball that has been chested back to him?
Yes it can be done, as it is not a back pass.
What is the passback rule?
If a defender passes the ball back to his own goalkeeper using his feet then the keeper cannot pick it up, he can only use his feet to clear or pass the ball. however if the defender passes the ball back to his keeper using another part of his body (excluding arms and hands) then the goalkeeper can pick it up.
If a goalkeeper drops the ball can he pick it up again?
Only if the keeper intends to place it in another location and take the goal kick. If the referee determines this to be tactic in delaying the restart of play, then the kicker is risking a caution.
Can a goalkeeper pick the ball up from a throwin?
Yes. The ball is considered "in play" as soon as it enters the field. It is similar to an indirect kick in that a goal cannot be scored by a throw-in, though.
