This will allow the team in possession a free pass to their team. Once the ball is touched by the team with possession of the ball the game is live again! *Note if the GK makes a save and quickly plays the ball out you do not need to worry about the opponents dropping but if the gk makes a save and takes his or her time to distribute the ball the referees should encourage the opponents to drop behind the half line to allow the play to build up. b. Goal Keepers cannot punt the ball. They must look put it down to their feet and pass or throw to a teammate within their defensive half. 12.
