(aka Goalie, Keeper or GK).
Except in small-sided play, each team must have a designated goalkeeper. He is the
only player on the field who can legally use his hands and then only
inside the Penalty Box...The goalkeeper has special
protections inside the Penalty Box; the ball may not be
kicked if he is touching it with his hand or
arm
| 6-yard box |
the 6-yard box is sometimes called the goalkeeper's
box. It is the smaller box inside the penalty
area. |
| penalty area |
The box that stretches for 18 yards from the goalline. The goalkeeper
is allowed to use his hands to control the ball here. There is a
semi-circular area outside the penalty box
sometimes known as the "D". It is considered a normal area, and the
goalkeeper may not use hands in the "D". |
- Whenever a foul occurs within the penalty box (the box that extends 18
yards from the goal line), where the foul happened has nothing to do with
where the kicker takes his kick. If a defender commits any foul within the
penalty box that merits a
direct free kick, the offending team doesn't take the kick from the site of
the infraction.
- The
defending team does not get to set up a wall. Instead, the referee orders the
penalty area cleared of all but two players: the kicker and the
goalie.
Goal
Kick: a free kick taken from anywhere within a small 6-yard box contained within
the 18-yard penalty
box, as long as
it is on the same general side of the goal where the ball left the field.
Usually, a defender or the goalie will take the goal-kick and belt the ball way
back up to the other half — this is an effective defensive technique.

If Team A is attacking Team B's goal and Team A mistakenly knocks the ball
over B's endline, Team B gets to kick the ball into play from their own six
yard box; Team A must remain outside of the penalty
box.
