What are the rules for goal keeping in soccer?

Answer 1

The "little box" in front of the goal mouth is the goal area. There is no rule governing the goalkeeper and the goal box except that if the keeper is taking a goal kick, the ball must be placed on or within the lines of the goal box to restart play. (Note that the keeper or any of his teammates may take the goal kick - there is no mandate that the keeper take the goal kick.) Following the taking of the goal kick, the ball is considered not to be in play until it crosses out of the associated penalty area, which is the "big box" inside which the defending goalkeeper my use his hands to play the ball according to the Laws of the Game. It is highly unlikely that these rules are modified in high school soccer. It could be fairly said that the sole purpose of the goal area is to define the area from inside which the ball is to be placed in the taking of a goal kick on that restart of play.

Answer 2

Although a goalkeeper is counted as a player on the field, special accommodations are given to him/her, including:

1. A goal keeper is entitled to play of the ball as any other player may (inncluding penalty kicks and throw-ins), with additional privileges and restrictions
2. A goal keeper may use his/her hands to handle the ball within the confines of the penalty area (large painted box in his/her half of the field)
3. A goal keeper may use his/her hands to throw, roll, or punt the ball, as long as the ball is not handled outside the penalty area (the goal keeper may also kick the ball outside the penalty area as long as it is released from his/her hands before their hands extend over the penalty box boundary)
4. A goal keeper may NOT use his/her hands to handle the ball when the ball is deliberately played to the goal keeper by a team mate
5. A goal keeper may put the ball into play after the opposing team kicks the ball over the goal line (outside the confines of the goal posts)
6. During penalty kicks, the goal keeper must have both feet on or behind the goal line until the ball is played, at which point they may move forward

Answer 3

The goalkeeper in futsal may use their hands within their own penalty area in order to block, catch, parry, or throw the ball. However, the GK must give up possession of the ball (ideally, to a teammate) within four seconds of touching it (with hands OR feet). Once the goalkeeper has played the ball (including taking a kick-in or delivering a goal clearance), he must not touch the ball again until it has touched an opponent or gone out of play.

That said, if the goalkeeper leaves his area and goes to the opponent's half of the field, he is considered a field player and none of the restrictions (or abilities) listed above are applicable. As soon as the keeper returns to his own half, he is again liable for those rules.
