ON ALL GOAL KICKS AND WHEN THE GOAL KEEPER MAKES A SAVE (goal keeper has possession) the team without the ball MUST DROP BACK TO THE HALF LINE. 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! b. If a player on the opposing team enters the developmental area too early (prior to a player touching the ball) an indirect free kick will be awarded to the team in possession. *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. *Coaches should be using the word DROP as soon as your team loses possession to the goal keeper or the ball goes out for a goal kick c.
