The zone of contact is defined by youth soccer rules as the area between the tip of a player’s finger and the shoulder. The penalty for touching the ball in this area is to be removed from the field and the player will lose possession. The referee may allow for exceptions for non-intentional touches, and play can continue. The goalkeeper is the only exception to this rule. Continue reading to learn more about the rule. Listed below are the different types of contact zones in soccer.
Goal kick
Soccer's goal kick is an important part of the game. A player scoring a goal with a kick awards the ball to the team that scored it. The goal kick rule requires that the ball touch the ground at least once before it can reach a player from the opposing side. This condition is not met by any team and the penalty kick will be applied to that team. The next midfielder will kick in an indirect kick.
Corner kick
A corner kick in soccer requires that the ball be placed within the corner circle. The corner flag should not block the kicker from being able to reach the ball. The defenders must be 10 yards or more from the ball. A player must be able to score from the corners if the arc is sufficiently wide. The kicker must make sure to practice the corner kick before the game.
Indirect kick free
Many fans of soccer do not realize that there is a special rule for free kicks in the box. Indirect free kicks are when the ball touches another player's hand after it has been released. This can happen after a foul is committed or the ball was intentionally kicked by another teammate. Depending upon the circumstances, the taker can either attempt to cross the goal directly or shoot straight at it.
Red card
A player may be given a red card under soccer rules if they break the rules. Red cards can be issued to players who intentionally cause injury to other players. It can also be used to refer to serious fouls. Foul play includes two-footed attacks, violent conduct, and spitting. For using racist or obscene language, a player could be sent to jail.
Number of players in a team
It has been difficult to answer the question of how many soccer players are in a team. While soccer fields can host up to twenty players at a time, most managers prefer that there be at least eleven players. Let's use the diagram below to help us understand the various positions. Let's look at what their roles are during play. Whether five players are a better choice than four or eleven is a matter of personal preference.
Offside rule
Law 11 of the Laws of the Game contains the offside rule for soccer. This rule states that a soccer player is offside when any part or body of their body touches the opposing team's goal. Hands are an exception. It is not clear whether a player is offside, but it is generally illegal. These are some examples of offside.

Which size soccerball should I buy?
The best way to determine what size soccer ball you need is to measure yourself. Stand straight and keep your arms at your sides. Measure around your chest just below the armpits using a tape measure. This measurement is your torso's circumference. Divide this number and multiply it with 5. If your chest measures 40 inches in diameter, multiply this number by 2 and multiply it by 5. This is how big a circle with a diameter equal to 20 inches will be. This formula allows you to determine the approximate size of the ball.
