How many steps is a soccer goalkeeper allowed to take?

Answer 1

The goal keeper may take as many or as few as they want. They must stay within the penalty area and release the ball within 6 seconds of taking possession.

Some recreational youth leagues allow a goalkeeper to walk or run up to four steps in the run-up to a drop-punt, but this is not standard in FIFA-sanctioned matches, including adult and youth associations affiliated with FIFA.

Answer 2

You have an unlimited amount of steps but you must get rid of the ball in 6 seconds

Answer 3

Any number, as long as they release the ball within 6 seconds and do so before the ball leaves the penalty area.

Answer 4

You have to trow the ball in where it was kicked out but you can back up about 5 steps to take the steps to get to the place where the ball was out.
