THE RETREAT LINE IS IN EFFECT FOR THE U13 FESTIVAL
For goal kicks, including when a goalie makes a save, all players from the opposing team will retreat back behind a line marked by cones dividing the field into thirds from the goal line, which will be known as the “retreat line.” Players from the opposing team may not pass the retreat line until the ball has been touched by the player receiving the goal kick. If the goal kick is kicked directly from the goal kick past the retreat line the ball is deemed “in play” as soon as it crosses the retreat line. If there is a violation of this rule the restart will be a retake of the goal kick.
We look forward to seeing you there!
