RULE 6 - Penalty Kick Direct free kicks for infractions inside the penalty area become penalty kicks. The ball is placed on the penalty spot or mark, 12 yards in front of the center of the goal. All players must remain outside the penalty area and the penalty arc until the ball is kicked. The goalkeeper must have both feet on the goal line until the ball is kicked. If after the ball is kicked, it rebounds off of the keeper and stays on the field, the ball is “live” and anyone can play it. If after the ball is kicked, it rebounds off of the goal and stays on the field, the ball is “live” and anyone can play it except the person who just kicked the ball. If the ball rebounds off of the goal and back into play, the person who kicked the ball cannot play it until the ball is touched by another player on either team.
