How many distance is the penalty area from goal line?
In netball, the penalty spot is located 7 meters from the goal post. This distance is measured from the center of the goal post to the penalty mark on the court. Players taking a penalty shot must shoot from this spot when a foul occurs within the shooting circle.
The penalty spot is 6 meters from the center of the goal, centered at the top of the penalty area. There is a second penalty spot that is 10 meters from the center of the goal, and this is used for the sixth and subsequent accumulated foul in the same half of the game.
According to FIFA "Within each penalty area, a penalty mark is made 11 m (12 yds) from the midpoint between the goalposts and equidistant to them. "
The penalty spot is 12 yards from the goal line.
All players, except the penalty taker must be at least 10 yards away from the penalty spot when the penalty is taken. As the Penalty Area extends 18 yards from the goal line, and the Penalty Spot is 12 yards from the goal line, the distance from the Penalty Spot to the edge of the Penalty Area can be as little as 6 Yards. The Arc - not half circle - marks the area outside the Penalty Area, that is within 10 yards of the Penalty Spot, and therefore outside which players must be when the penalty is taken
If a distance penalty, enforced from a specific spot between the goal lines would place the ball more than half the distance to the offender's goal line, the penalty is half the distance from that spot to the goal line. This general rule supercedes any other general or specific rule with regard to enforcement of penalties. An exception would be intentional grounding, which is penalized at the spot of the foul if that spot is more than 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage.I got this information from The Chicago Tribune September 20, 2005 Column, Ask Jerry Markbreit.
Free kick distance is entirely dependent on where the foul occurs on the pitch. However, the penalty kick is taken from the penalty mark, which is a spot 12 yards (11 m) from the goal.
