Question Number: 20346Law 8 - Start and Restart of Play 10/22/2008RE: rec Under 13 matt of ross, ca usa asks...How many people con be in the circle on a kick off? Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson Matt the entire team taking the kick off can be in their half of the circle at the kick off! The opposition could not be in their half of the circle but could stand around the boundry to be ten yards from the ball at kick off. I can not fathom why that would be a good idea athough it would look funny
Cheers

View Referee Richard Dawson profileAnswer provided by Referee Keith Contarino The entire team taking the kick may be in their half of the center circle and none of the opponents may be. Why a team would do this is beyond me but it would be legal for all of them to be there at the taking of a kick-off.
