Question Number: 12086Law 9 - The Ball in and out of Play 1/22/2006RE: Select Under 14 Tony Martinez of Marysville, washington United States asks...In a recent game my daughter took a corner Kick, the ball traveled to the back post and was put in by a teammate.
the AR quickly called it off. Her explanation was the "the ball went over the end line in the air and hooked back into play" which it did rather nicely.
Is this really a rule? i have never heard of it or seen it in any rule book.
Thanks for clarifying this Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino yes. The ball is out of play when it entirely crosses either end line or touch line on the ground or in the air. It's in the first sentence in Law #9 in The Laws of the Game.

View Referee Keith Contarino profileAnswer provided by Referee Richard Dawson Hi Tony,
the boundrylines surrounding the field are a 5 inch invisable wall stretching upwards. While it is an opinion of course, once the corner kick is taken if a referee or the AR are convinced the ball is travelling outside of that goalline's 5 inch wall during its flight into the penalty area, the ball is out of play and a restart GOAL KICK is in order. Cheers
