Question Number: 12385Law 9 - The Ball in and out of Play 3/18/2006RE: Travel Under 11 John Myers of Williamstown, NJ USA asks...If a goalie steps out of bounds on the end line and touches the ball inside the penalty area, is it a hand ball? Thus giving the other team a penalty kick. Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino No.Only matters where the ball is and the keeper's hands are. The keeper can NEVER be guilty of a handling offense resulting in a PK. Why? Because if he handles the ball OUTSIDE the penalty area, it's a direct free kick same as for any other player, and if he illegally handles the ball inside the penalty area (from a throw-in or pass back by teammate) it's an indirect free kick.
