No. It’s a free kick against you from the position you received the ball.
Yes. Play on! Provided you were 13m from the ball when it was kicked.
No. It must be a ‘toe-tap’ i.e. the ball must be released from the hand(s) to the foot and kicked back into the hand(s).

There is one exception – you cannot take it inside the opposition 20m line.
Yes. But don’t delay as a solo & go must be taken immediately you were awarded a free kick.

No. The solo & go must only be taken in forwards or sideways direction.
A free kick will be awarded to the opposition where the foul occurs.
The referee will cancel the solo & go and the Referee will ask the player to take the free kick from the position of the foul from either the hands or from the ground.
If the solo & go is not taken ‘immediately’ the referee will cancel the solo & go and free kick will have to be taken from the position of the foul from either the hands or from the ground.
Immediately means after a foul, the solo & go must be taken at once and without delay.
No. A solo and go can only be taken 4m from the position where the foul occurred.
A free kick is awarded from where the pass was made
No. If you are inside the large rectangle, you can only pass it to the goalkeeper if the ball has been played by an opposing player i.e. you must be inside the large rectangle, and either catch/ intercept an opposition attempted shot, kick or fist pass, before you pass it to your goalkeeper.
He can play on as normal. He just needs to be aware that he cannot receive a return pass from a teammate until he is inside the opposition half.

Yes. The goalkeeper can position himself anywhere on the field of play.
Frequently Asked Questions: Scoring
Please reach us at hoganathletics@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes. If it goes directly over the bar.
1pt. A shot for 2pts must go directly over the bar i.e. it will only count as 1pt if it is flicked/palmed/punched over the crossbar by a player on either team
No, the free kick must be taken from the position of where the original foul was committed, and this spot should be marked
No, the play may continue (no matter which direction the player moves or passes the ball) for as long as the referee deems that there is the potential of an advantage to the attacking team
Yes – you can immediately tackle the player who catches an advanced mark.
In this scenario is likely that you will be awarded a penalty. Rule 5.41 covers this whereby a player is awarded a penalty when “denied a goal-scoring opportunity” because an opponent deliberately pulled him down (including being ‘held up’” - this is one of the proposed amendments), or if he is deliberately tripped, or deliberately collided with for the purpose of taking him out of the attacking movement. The offending player will also receive a Black Card
No – the referee will deem that no advantage has accrued to the team of the player awarded the Mark and will indicate that by saying “no advantage gained” and will take the ball back to the point of the Mark.
No – the referee will deem that no advantage has accrued to the team of the player awarded the Mark and will indicate that by saying “no advantage gained” and will take the ball back to the point of the Mark.
The referee will deem that no advantage has accrued to the team of the player awarded the Mark and will indicate that by saying “no advantage gained” and will take the ball back to the point of the Mark.
No. The referee will deem that no advantage has accrued to the team of the player awarded the Mark and will indicate that by saying “no advantage gained” and will take the ball back to the point of the Mark.
Since you committed a ‘technical foul’ before you had accrued an advantage, the referee will stop play and allow you to take the Mark from its original position.
No. You committed an ‘aggressive foul’ so the referee will award a free kick to the opposition, and apply any relevant disciplinary action associated with your foul.
In theory - yes. In practice, unlikely that a referee will allow the advantage to continue in that scenario.
Yes. The rules were amended to allow this scenario from a Kick Out Mark. Note an Advanced Mark cannot be taken from a free kick or sideline kick
Yes, you’ll still get a free kick. In addition, the referee will deem this ‘Cynical Play for holding up a player” and they will receive a Black Card.
Yes. If you are delayed taking a free kick or sideline the referee will advance the ball 50m in the direction of the goal posts up to opponents’ 13m line. If the foul was outside the arc and because of the advancement was brought inside the arc, you have the option of taking a freekick from outside the 40m arc for 2pts
No. In this scenario if you don’t “hand over” the ball by giving it directly to the nearest opposition player in a prompt and respectful manner, the referee will consider that you are purposefully delay play will advance the ball 50m.
You need to look for the nearest opposition player and hand them the ball. If you don’t the referee will consider that you are purposely delaying play and will advance the ball 50m.
You need to look for the nearest opposition player and hand them the ball. If you don’t the referee will consider that you are purposely delaying play and will advance the ball 50m.
If you do, you will concede a free kick, and the ball will be advanced 50m. The team captain, or a nominated deputy, are the only players on a team that can speak to the referee to seek clarification of a decision made by the referee and they can only do so during a break in play.
Yes. If a team official displays misconduct towards any Match Officials, the referee will award a free kick on the offending team’s 13m line at the centre of the scoring space or, at the option of the free taker, a free kick from the apex of the 40m arc. Where that option is availed of, two points shall be awarded for a score from such a free kick where the ball crosses the crossbar between the posts.
