Best Answer

There are two penalty areas, one on each end of the symmetrical field. Each box is centered on its goal, touching the end line, and it extends 18 yards from the end line and 18 yards out from the inside edge of each goalpost. Some youth organizations specify smaller penalty areas for certain age groups, and the youngest players often do not use a penalty area at all.

What are the rules for a soccer goal-kick?

Several contributors made notes on the rules concerning the goal kick in association football/soccer. They are condensed here:The kick can be taken from anywhere in the goal area (the small box) and is not in play until it has left the penalty area (the big box) into the field of play.After the kick, no player may touch it until it has left the penalty area. If they do, the goal kick is retaken.If the ball does not enter play, if it does not leave the penalty area or crosses the defender's goal line before entering play, then the goal kick is retaken. This applies even if it enters the kicking team's goal.A goal kick is a direct free kick, if it goes straight into the opponent's goal then a goal is awarded.If a goal kick does enter play, but somehow enters the kicking team's goal directly, no goal is awarded and the restart will be a corner kick for the opposing team.

What is the pass back rule in soccer?

The so-called "Back Pass" rule means that the goalkeeper cannot handle the ball, even within his own penalty area, if it was deliberately kicked to him by a teammate. If the goalkeeper violates this rule, an indirect free kick is awarded to the attacking team at the point where the goalkeeper handled the ball. Note that a penalty kick can never be awarded for a goalkeeper's handling.
