yes
A soccer player kicks a ball into the opposing team's goal. A goalkeeper will try to stop this from happening
They must allow the keeper room to kick the ball; 5-6 metres should be enough.
If the keeper drops the ball and then kicks it before it touches the ground, it is called a punt.
No. The keeper is still considered to have control of the ball when dropping it for a punt, so opposing players are not allowed to interfere.
The question is probably referring to a "goal kick." In FIFA Laws of the Game, Law 16 addresses goal kicks. In simple terms, a goal kick occurs when an opposing team kicks a the ball over a defending team's goal line and out of bounds. Rather put the ball back in play with a throw-in, instead the a player on the defending team (usually, but not necessarily the goal keeper) kicks the ball back in play after placing the ball at any point within the goal area.
A goal keeper is allowed to touch the ball with their hands when the ball is inside their own penalty area. If a goal keeper does so outside of the area, then a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team.
An indirect free kick would be awarded to the opposing team.
If the ball is on the opposing team's half of the field, the keeper would then perform a goal kick.
if the kicker kicks the ball out of bounds without the opposing team touching the ball, the ball is placed on the 40 yard line as a penalty to the kicking team.
You are absolutely correct. If, in the opinion of the referee, a player kicks a ball up into the air to deliberately chest or head the ball back to his own keeper to permit the keeper to "fairly" play it with the hands, it is a violation of the Laws of the Game and will result in a caution for Unsporting Behavior. The maneuver was done to circumvent the rule regarding the backpass to the keeper.Oh, and the keeper can pick up the ball in the above situation, but it will result in a whistle and the awarding of an indirect free kick to the other team at the spot where the keeper touched the ball. But you knew that. Good for you!
He can do so. The referee will stop play and restart play with a indirect free kick for the opposing team.
Usually the backup quarterback holds the ball with one finger, (pressing the ball down) then the kicker kicks the ball in between the field goal posts. ( there will be eleven people on opposing sides.
