How many yards does the ball have to travel on an onside kick before the receiving team can recover it?

The ball must travel at least ten yards and it must touch the ground . The order of these occurances does not matter. These restrictions are not in effect if the receivers touch the ball first. If the ball is touched by the receivers first either team may recover the ball but only the receivers may advance the kick.


Can the kicking team pass the 10 yard mark before the ball on an onside kick?

What are 2 rules directly relating to the kick off?

The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves. The ball must move forward on the first touch; forward is defined as "more toward the opponent's goal line than your own goal line." As with all kicking restarts, another player must touch the ball before the kicker may touch it a second time.


In soccer during a corner kick may the kicker play the ball again after it has rebounded from one of the uprights and comes back to the original kicker without any other player involved?

Can the kicker be offsides on an onside kick when his plant foot is sometimes 18 inches ahead of the ball?

No. Rules state the kicker's plant foot may be beyond the line at the time of the kick. Should a holder of the ball be necessary, he may also be beyond the line. All other players must be inbounds and behind the line at the time of the kick.


Can an onside kick be advanced if kicking team recovers it?

If the kicking team legally recovers an onside attempt, the ball is dead, the clock is stopped, and the kicking team gets the ball for an offensive series at the spot of recovery.


Can you use double touch during a direct free kick?

The kicker of a direct free kick may not touch the ball a second time until another player has touched it or it goes out of play.


If the ball is played forward to a player in an offside position what would you award?

A line-out against the team who put it in touch EXCEPT where a penalty kick was awarded. IN this case the team awarded the penalty kick may decide to kick for position advantage and in doing so kicks the ball in to touch. The line-out awarded from this is FOR the team taking the penalty and they have the throw in. In the case of a free kick (j) Outside the kicker's 22, no gain in ground. When a free kick awarded outside the 22 goes directly into touch, the throw-in is in line with where the ball was kicked, or where it went into touch, whichever is nearer the kicker's goal line. (k) Inside the kicker's 22 or in-goal, gain in ground. When a free kick is awarded in the 22 or in-goal and the kick goes directly into touch, the throw-in is where the ball went into touch.
