Laws of the Game

At the taking of a corner kick:

the whole of the ball must be within the arc
all opponents must be 10 yards from the corner arc
the ball is in play when it moves
the ball cannot be touched or played a second time by the kicker until it has been touched or played by another player
the corner flag cannot be moved

If a defender kicks the ball against the referee and it passes over the goal-line, outside of the goal posts, a corner kick would be awarded.

A player cannot be offside from a corner kick.

Due to the huge success and popularity of the game we are always recruiting.
