Law 10 - Method of Scoring 5/29/2006

RE: Select Under 13

Joe Morefield of Norton Shores, Michigan USA asks...

A Goal Keeper has the ball in her hands. She punts the ball and it goes all the way to the opposing goal bounces over their keeper and goes into the goal.

Goal or No Goal?

Thanks....Joe

Cool, nice to have a goalkeeper that can score goals on a punt isn't it? This goal counts one point, even more to her; just the one for her team though. Unless the referee had no clue and wouldn't allow it.

Regards,
