Rule 12 – Fouls and Misconducts
Conform to FIFA except:
U 10 games - Restricted Goalkeeper Distribution: Punting is not allowed. In the case of an infraction, the referee reminds the goalkeeper of the No Punt Rule and restarts the game with the ball in the hands of the goalkeeper. There is no violation of the rules if the goalkeeper: Drop Kicks, Throws, or Rolls the ball.
Rationale: Develop the concept of building out of the back, understanding that the goalkeeper passes the ball to a teammate.

Rule 16 – The Goal Kick
Conform to FIFA except
U 10 games - May be taken from anywhere inside the penalty area. Opponents are required to drop into their half of the field until the ball is put back into play. If both teams are Level 1 teams (only Level 1), they may agree to not play with this rule. Please communicate with the referee prior to the game. In a Level 1 game where both teams agree to remove this rule, the field players must be 8 yards away from the placement of the ball.
Rationale: Developmentally, the goalkeeper should be the player taking the goal kick. This should allow for a completed pass from the goal kick. Too often, the opposing team would surround the penalty area on a goal kick, creating an immediate scoring opportunity off of a restart that should not but the team taking the goal kick at a disadvantage.
Rule 17 – The Corner Kick
Conform to FIFA except
U 10 games that all opponents are at least 8 yards from the ball until it is in play.
