Two yards out.
The "six yard" (or goal) area serves two purposes. For a goal kick, the ball has to be placed anywhere within the goal area. Secondly, if there is a dropped ball or indirect kick against the defending team inside the goal area, the ball is placed on the line nearest where the infraction occurred.

A goal kick is a direct free-kick awarded to the defending team. It is awarded when a player from the attacking team causes the ball to cross the goal line and a goal is not awarded (for example, because the ball went wide of the goal, or a the ball crossed to goal line as a result of an indirect free-kick). A goal-kick is taken by the goalkeeper or any defending player placing the ball in his own goal area (six yard box) and hoofing the ball upfield. Technically a hoof is not compulsory, but the fast majority of goal-kicks are hoofed upfield. All members of the attacking team must leave the penalty area until the ball has left the penalty area following a goal kick. The ball must leave the penalty directly from the kick. If the kicker fails to kick the ball outside the penalty area, the kick is retaken. A goal can be scored from a goal kick, because a goal can be scored from a direct free-kick. An own-goal cannot be scored from a goal kick, because an own-goal cannot be scored from a direct free-kick. A goal kick is called a goal kick because it is taken from the goal area (six yard box). A player cannot be offside from a goal kick.

If an attacking player knocks the ball past the goal line (but not in the goal), and if the goalkeeper is fouled inside his 6-yard box.
Eleven. However, the goal kick is not properly taken until it is kicked from within the goal area (six-yard box) directly out of the penalty area (18-yard box). If the ball touches any player, including defenders, before it leaves the penalty area, then the goal kick must be retaken. If the referee decides that the defenders are wasting time by intentionally preventing or making difficult the proper execution of the goal kick, the players may be cautioned for delaying the restart of play.
