Question Number: 17186Law 9 - The Ball in and out of Play 10/8/2007RE: rec. an jv Under 16 ronnie todd of Whiteville, nc columbus asks...team A taking a corner kick the ball hits the top (outside) of the goal bounds on the field ball dead or alive? Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol If the goal is properly placed, the top bar is directly above the goal line.
A ball is in play until it is completely over the goal line.
So if the ball hit the goal, it wasn't completely over the line at that point, and if it rebounded onto the field it would be in play.
If the ball curved over the line so that it was completely outside the line in the air before it hit the goalpost, it would be out. If you're planning on bending it like Beckham, make sure the bend is over the field, not outside it.
