Law 16 Mini Soccer

Teams with U9 and U10 teams are reminded of Mini Soccer Law 16, usually referred to as the Retraet Line Rule.

Goal Kick Procedure
A player of the defending team kicks the ball from any point within the penalty area.

Opponents must retreat to their own half until the ball is in play.

The defending team does not have to wait for the opposition to retreat and has the option to restart the game before should they choose to.

The ball is in play when it is kicked directly out the penalty area.
