To make it as easy as possible for the shooter. A penalty kick is the closest thing to a free goal the referee can award. Plus, if the goalie didn't have to stand on his line, another arbitrary line would have to be drawn up to limit his movement.

On a side note, the goalie can come off his line after the shooter's foot makes contact with the ball, but with professional soccer players' power, this is hardly an advantage.

The goal keeper is required to stay on their line until the ball is kicked.

As a practical matter this almost never happens with the goal keeper coming off the line early. The extent of violation that is considered trifling by the referee is a judgment call.

During a penalty kick does a goalie have to have both feet on the goal line?

Yes, but the feet do not have to be on the ground (in soccer all "lines" effectively extend vertically into the air) or stationary. As soon as the ball is kicked the goalie can move in any direction (including forward) to stop the shot. Practically, all goalies will try to anticipate the kick and leap a split-second before the ball is struck.

How can you develop your weaker foot in soccer?

All you have to do, is practice kicking and dribbling with that foot. When I first started soccer, my left foot was weak. I kept kicking with it for 3 years, to this day. Now, as the best goalie in U12 Butts County Rec. Dpt., I can kick with both feet. Hope this helps!

Which is harder water polo or soccer?

Water polo because you can get drowned i played both but water polo players and the goalies have to swim from 1 mile to 20 miles a game. On top of that they have to try and get the ball past the goalie and the def in 30 sec and if its a 3 feet pool they still cant tough the bottom (unless your the goalie.) I have also been playing soccer for 12 years water polo players are aloud to punch the person there defending but in soccer if you even hit the person your def you could get a yellow or red card depending on the reff. You can get a broken ankle in soccer but it does not compare to an injery in water polo
