Question Number: 17054

Law 9 - The Ball in and out of Play 10/2/2007

RE: Mid level rec Under 12

Patrick livingston of Hilliard, Oh USA asks...

On a corner kick can the ball travel in the air from the corner across the back out bounds and back on to the field of play .Thank you

Answer provided by Referee Michelle Maloney

It can, of course. I suspect what you want to know is if that means the ball changes to the other side, and yes, it does. When the corner kick, properly taken, exits the field over the goal line, it doesn't really matter whether it comes back in or stays out - it is OUT. The ball goes to the other team for a goal kick.

That ball would be out of play and the other team gets to take a goal kick.

If it does, the restart is a goal kick for the opponents.
