Law 1- The Field 3/19/2008

RE: Rec Under 8

Hillary of Bay minette, USA asks...

Where's the goalie box on an inside game that is played on a basketball court?

I was told the 3 point line for basketball-the black circle. That seems like an awful lot of room for the goalie to roam.

Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol

It's whereever the competition authority decide it is. Since many indoor games are not affiliated with any kind of governing body, you will have to ask the people at the facility what their rules are.

Hi Hilary,
competition authorities for your league would have that info.

Depends on the league. The rules for that particular competition should be clearly stated.
