A direct free kick awarded from 12 yards in front of the goal would be within the penalty area. It would have to be a kick awarded to the defense, because if a defender had committed a direct free kick offense at that location the restart would, instead, have been a penalty kick for the attackers.
10 yards is the shortest kick you can make to be considered kicking to the opposing team. Once kicked ten yards one of your own players can recover the kick. If you kicked it 20 or 30 yards you could still recover the ball but the chances of your team mates beating the opposing team to the ball would diminish greatly. A 30 yard kick would petty much kick the ball into the arms of the opposing teams front line.
any free kick, the opposing side from the side taking the kick must be a minimum of 10 yards from the ball.
is there a flag on a free kick if it doesnt travel 10yards
Free kick distance is entirely dependent on where the foul occurs on the pitch. However, the penalty kick is taken from the penalty mark, which is a spot 12 yards (11 m) from the goal.
It would be much easier to kick a soccer ball forty yards.
In a penalty there is no defensive wall. In a free kick a goalkeeper puts 5-8 players in a line blocking the goal from the free kick taker, this limits the space in which the attacker can score in.
Kick taken 12 yards in front of goal?
The free kick is considered one of two types of kickoffs even though it uses a drop kick, according to the NFL rules:"Once the ball is touched by the receiving team or has gone 10 yards, it is a free ball." Conversely, there are the same penalties if it goes out of bounds so it risks a 30 yd penalty. Yes. The rules for a free kick after a safety are the same as the rules for a free kick after a touchdown or field goal. Agreed. Just two points of clarification on the original answer: 1. The free kick after a safety isn't a drop kick. A drop kick is a specific type of kick in which the ball is struck after it bounces off the ground. What you usually see after a safety is just a punt without a line of scrimmage in front of the kicker. 2. An onside kick that goes out of bounds doesn't incur the 30-yard penalty. The receiving team gets the ball at the spot where the ball went out of bounds.
10 yards
They add 17 yards to the LOS. They measure from the spot of the kick not the los. It would be a 37 yard kick
