According to FIFA "Within each penalty area, a penalty mark is made 11 m (12 yds) from the midpoint between the goalposts and equidistant to them. "
How many distance is the penalty area from goal line?
The penalty spot.
The penalty spot is 6 meters from the center of the goal, centered at the top of the penalty area. There is a second penalty spot that is 10 meters from the center of the goal, and this is used for the sixth and subsequent accumulated foul in the same half of the game.
The penalty spot or penalty mark.
All players, except the penalty taker must be at least 10 yards away from the penalty spot when the penalty is taken. As the Penalty Area extends 18 yards from the goal line, and the Penalty Spot is 12 yards from the goal line, the distance from the Penalty Spot to the edge of the Penalty Area can be as little as 6 Yards. The Arc - not half circle - marks the area outside the Penalty Area, that is within 10 yards of the Penalty Spot, and therefore outside which players must be when the penalty is taken
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.
To co-ordinate a netball shot is to make sure that both feet are facing the netball post when you receive the ball in the circle and the distance that you want to take the shot at. When you do the split, as you bring your front leg in to meet and turn your back leg, turn your foot around, but keeping it grounded so you do not step, make sure that it is facing the goal post, and your co-ordination shall be spot on, and all you have to work on is the strenthg of your pass towards the goal. Try practsing right in front of the goal post first and then move outwards, making sure that you're feet are facing the post, and your accuracy shall be right on.

The penalty spot is 12 yards from the goal line.
If a distance penalty, enforced from a specific spot between the goal lines would place the ball more than half the distance to the offender's goal line, the penalty is half the distance from that spot to the goal line. This general rule supercedes any other general or specific rule with regard to enforcement of penalties. An exception would be intentional grounding, which is penalized at the spot of the foul if that spot is more than 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage.I got this information from The Chicago Tribune September 20, 2005 Column, Ask Jerry Markbreit.
The D, otherwise known as the penalty arc, marks an exclusion zone where no outfield players are allowed to stand during the taking of a penalty kick. The distance between any point on the penalty arc, and the penalty spot itself, is 10 yards (9.15 metres).
The penalty for an Illegal Forward pass is a five yard spot foul and loss of down. If an Illegal forward pass is intercepted, the penalty would be declined. There would be no enforcement of the penalty.
