Solution
A goal kick is a method of restarting play. A goal kick is awarded when the whole of the ball, having last touched a player of the attacking team, passes over the goal line, either on the ground or in the air and a goal is not scored according to the rule.
Procedure for the Goal kick:
- The ball is kicked from any point within the goal area by a player of the defending team.
- Opponents remain outside the penalty area until the ball is in play.
- The kicker must not play the ball again until it has touched another player.
- The ball is in play when it is kicked directly out of the penalty area.
