P.E Free Kick Analysis Report

INTRODUCTION
There are two type of free kick, direct and in-direct free kick. A free kick is used to start a
play after a foul in football. Free kick rules are specified in LAW 13 of the FIFA Laws of the
game.
Generally, in any free kick, an opposing player cannot stand closer than 10 yards (9.15
meters) from the free kick spot. The only exception to this is when an in-direct free kick is
rewarded inside the penalty area. The opposing players form a wall to obstruct the kicker view
and shot.
When a player is taking free kick inside the penalty area, the opposing players should
stay outside the penalty area at least 10 yards from the ball, till the ball is played or kicked.
BACKGROUND
DIRECT FREE KICK
Direct free kick is known as ONE TOUCH KICK, since only one touch is required for a
goal to be awarded. This kick should always be taken at the spot where the offence took place,
and the ball should always be in stationary position when taking the kick.
A player can kick the ball straight into the goal from a direct free kick, however, when an
offence worth of a direct free kick is committed inside the penalty region, a penalty kick is
awarded instead.
According to FIFA's law, a direct free kick is granted for infractions like:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Jumping at an opponent player.

Kicking or attempting to kick a player.
Tackling a player illegally.

Pushing an opponent player.
Tripping or attempting to trip an opponent player.
Handling the ball with a purpose.

IN-DIRECT FREE KICK

The rule of in-direct free kick states that, a player cannot score a goal straight from the
kick. The in-direct free kick rule was derived from the Sheffield rules that states no goal could be
scored from this kind of free kick.
The rules were absorbed into the Laws of Game in 1877. Generally, an in-direct free kick
is given to the opposing team when a player commits a foul other than a penalty one
(dangerous play) or violates certain technical requirements of the football rules.
Most indirect free kicks are given due to fouls committed by goalkeepers. According to soccer's
Free kick rules, indirect free kicks are awarded when the goalkeeper:
2
1. Touches the ball with his hands after his teammate has purposely kicked or made
trickery back pass to him.
2. Holds the football with his hand for more that 6 seconds before releasing it.
3. Touches the ball with hands after releasing it from his possession, before another
player has touched it.
4. Touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throwin
Take by a teammate.
Indirect free kick can as well be awarded when an opposing player:
a. Stops the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands.
b. Plays in a dangerous way.
c. Interferes in the movement of an opponent player unless when shielding.
