The penalty box is the area within the field of play that allows a player to take a penalty. The penalty area, also known by the 18-yardbox, is a rectangular space that extends 16.5 m to each side the goal. The penalty zone is also 16.5 m in front.
The goal area
A goal area refers to the rectangular, smaller area of the soccer penalty box. It extends from the goal line to a distance of 5.5 metres (6 yards) into the pitch. You must kick the ball from this area. The ball must not cross the goal line. This is known as a corner kick. These kicks can be taken from the corners.
Touchline
The touchline of the penalty area in soccer is located 12 yards from the goal line. There are many methods that can be used to determine the distance between the ball and the goal line during a penalty shoot. One way is to measure the distance from the goal line to where the ball is located in the penalty zone.
Goalkeeper's area
The Goalkeeper's penalty area is the area of the field in front of the goal. The goalkeeper has the right to control the ball within the penalty area regardless of its location. Depending on his position, this could mean that he must run within four feet of the box's forward edge. Another option is to stop the ball being handled by another player within a 5-yard radius. In either case, the player may toss the ball with backspin and then take control of it using his hands. He might repeat the process one to two more times and then return it to play.
Guidelines for penalty kicks
There are several rules that must be followed when you take a penalty in soccer. The first is that you must kick from the penalty area, which is 11 feet from the goal line. The penalty area must be completely outside the reach of all players. Also, the opposing goalkeeper must stand between the goalposts. The kick is not allowed to be completed with more than one touch of the ball.
The Goalkeeper's team
Goalkeepers will often talk to penalty takers during a penalty kick. This could result in the shooter being distracted, which can lead to a miss. The goalkeeper should remain calm and not be anxious as he only has one second to see the shooter's movements. Tim Krul of the Netherlands, goalkeeper for the 2014 FIFA World Cup was a great example. He said to the players, "I knew what they were going to do with it" during his conversation with them in the penalty box. Krul saved two penalties despite his distracting tactics and the Dutch won the shootout, 4-3.
The teammates of goalkeepers in the penalty box
There are a few rules that govern contact inside the penalty area. One example is that the goalkeeper may touch the ball after he or she crosses the halfway line. They must also meet the other conditions if they touch the ball twice.
