Question Number: 22570Law 16 - Goal Kick 11/22/2009RE: Rec Under 10 Charlie of Hawthorne, NJ usa asks...On a goal kick, can an offensive player be in the penalty arc and play the kick or does the ball need to exit the penalty arc before it can be played? Answer provided by Referee Jason Wright Yes. The arc is not part of the penalty area - it is only there to mark out 10 yards from the penalty mark so players can retreat the required distance at a penalty kick.
