The Laws Of The Game for mini-soccer have changed for next season. Note this applies to Under 7 to Under 10s
The major new change is to Law 16 (Goal Kicks) which reads:
"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."
