The kicker and the defending goal keeper.
That is the penalty arc. Its center is the penalty mark and has a radius of 10 yards. During a penalty kick, all non-kicking players must be outside of the penalty area and also the penalty arc at the moment of the kick.
It is used during the taking of a penalty kick to ensure that all players except the kick taker and the goalkeeper are both outside of the penalty area and are at least 10 yards from the spot where the kick will be taken.
Soccer is a great sport. I call it a sport because it's athletically challenging and requires a good deal of skill. Players fake injuries during play because that is often an easy way to draw a penalty or free kick.
In indoor soccer, a player may be sent to a penalty box (like one used in ice hockey) for a yellow card offense. In indoor soccer, yellow cards are actually blue.
The goalie is the only player who can use his hands during play in soccer.
There are 11 soccer players insinde the fiels; which 1 is a goalkeeper and 10 are playing inside.
A penalty goal in soccer is a goal scored as the result of a penalty shot. A penalty shot is rewarded to a player who has been subject to rough play inside a designated penalty area in front of the opposing team's goal.
You are probably referring to the penalty arc which is at the top to the penalty area. It is not exactly a half of a circle.Prior to the taking of a penalty kick all players except the kicker and the opposing goal keeper must be outside of the penalty area and at least 10 yards from the penalty mark. The penalty mark is only 8 yards from the edge of the penalty area! So an extra bit of distance is added to show the players where they must be.
Soccer players get leg injuries, and occasionaly they get a head cut, but most of the time their "injuries" are faked, trying to get the ref to give the other team a penalty.
they play outside.
11 people are on a soccer team. I Think
The arc at the top of the penalty area is not a full half circle. It is scribed out with the penalty mark as its center, and it's there to provide a reference mark that allows players and the officials to know where "10 yards from the ball" is with reference to the penalty mark. Upon a penalty kick, players will take up positions about the top of the penalty box, but outside the arc. The top center of the penalty box is actually a bit closer to the penalty mark than 10 yards. Hence the need for the line. The Laws of the Game require players to be ten yards from the penalty mark (and outside of the penalty box) at the time a penalty kick is taken. Players must remain outside those areas until the ball is touched to (re)initiate play.
