Common Restarts Questions
What constitutes a foul throw?
A foul throw is awarded when the thrower does not correctly execute the throw: they must face the field, have both feet on or behind the touch line, use both hands equally, and release the ball from behind and over the head. Lifting a foot is one of the most common foul throw violations.
Can opponents be inside the penalty area when a goal kick is taken?
Yes. Since the 2019 law change, opponents can be in the penalty area when a goal kick is taken. The ball is in play once it is kicked and clearly moves.
Can you score directly from a corner kick?
Yes. A goal can be scored directly from a corner kick against the opponents. If the ball enters the kicker's own goal directly, a corner kick is awarded to the opponents instead.
