The Penalty Area In Soccer



soccer cleats kids

The penalty zone is the area of the play field that a player can take penalty kicks. The penalty area, also known as the 18-yard box is a rectangular area that extends 16.5m to either side of the goal. It is also located 16.5 meters from the goal.

Ziel area

A goal is the area smaller than the penalty area. It extends from a goal line to a distance measuring 5.5 metres (6 miles) in the pitch. You must kick the ball from this area. If the ball crosses over the goal line, it is referred to as a corner kick. These kicks come from the corners.

Touchline

The touchline of the penalty area in soccer is located 12 yards from the goal line. There are several ways to determine the distance to the ball during a penalty kick. One method is measuring the distance between the goal line (or the center) and the ball in the penalty area.

The goalkeeper's zone

The Goalkeeper's penalty area is the area of the field in front of the goal. The goalkeeper is allowed to control the ball anywhere within the penalty zone, regardless of its placement. Depending on the position and the goalskeeper, it may require running up to four yards from the forward edge. Alternatively, he can stop the ball from being handled by an opponent within a five-yard radius. In either case, he can throw it backspin to gain control of the ball. He may do this a few more times, and then return the ball to play.


Procedures for taking penalty kicks

There are several rules for penalty kicks in soccer. The first is that you must kick from the penalty area, which is 11 feet from the goal line. All players must remain outside the penalty zone. The opposing goalkeeper must remain between the goalposts. The ball may not be touched more than once by any player during a kick.

Co-workers of the goalkeeper

During a penalty kick, goalkeepers often try to distract the penalty taker by talking to them. This can distract the shooter and result in a miss. As he only has a fraction of seconds to see the movements of the shooter, the goalkeeper must be calm and not anxious. Tim Krul, Netherlands goalkeeper, demonstrated a very effective tactic during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Krul saved two penalties despite his distracting tactics and the Dutch won the shootout, 4-3.

Co-Operators in the penalty area for goalkeeper

The rules for contact within the penalty area are quite simple. One example is that the goalkeeper may touch the ball after he or she crosses the halfway line. If they touch the ball again, it must meet both of the two conditions mentioned above.
