Answer the following questions on throw ins and goal kicks

Questions and Answers

1.

A throw-in is given when a ball is put out of play over the touch line, either along the ground or in the air.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
A throw-in is indeed given when a ball is put out of play over the touch line, whether it is along the ground or in the air. This is a rule in soccer where the team that did not touch the ball last before it went out of bounds is awarded a throw-in to restart play.

Rate this question:
2.

When making a thrown in BOTH feet must be on the ground and behind the touch line at the time the ball is thrown.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because according to the rules of the game, when making a throw-in, both feet of the player must be on the ground and behind the touch line. This ensures that the throw-in is taken from the correct position and that the player does not gain an unfair advantage by being in an offside position. Thus, it is important for both feet to meet these criteria for the throw-in to be considered valid.

Rate this question:
3.

The ball can be thrown with one hand on a throw in.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because according to the rules of the game, a throw-in must be performed with both hands. It is not allowed to throw the ball with just one hand.

Rate this question:
4.

After throwing the ball, the thrower must not touch the ball until it has been touched by another player.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
This statement is true because in most sports, particularly team sports like soccer or basketball, there is a rule called "offside" or "double touch" which states that the player who throws or kicks the ball cannot touch it again until it has been touched by another player. This rule ensures fair play and prevents one player from gaining an unfair advantage by continuously touching the ball.

5.

A goal kick is awarded to the defending team when it crosses the goal line, does not score a goal and is last touched by an attacking player
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
A goal kick is awarded to the defending team when the ball crosses the goal line without scoring a goal and is last touched by an attacking player. This means that if the attacking team takes a shot at the goal and the ball goes out of play without scoring, the defending team is given a goal kick to restart the game. Therefore, the statement is true.

Rate this question:
6.

On a goal kick, the ball may be placed anywhere in the penalty area
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because on a goal kick, the ball must be placed anywhere inside the six-yard box in the penalty area. It cannot be placed anywhere else in the penalty area.

Rate this question:
7.

On a goal kick, all attacking players must be outside the penalty area
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
On a goal kick, all attacking players must be outside the penalty area. This is because the goal kick is a way for the defending team to restart the game after the attacking team has kicked the ball out of play over the goal line. To ensure fairness and give the defending team an advantage, all attacking players must be outside the penalty area during a goal kick.

Rate this question:
8.

A goal kick is not in play until it has been directly kicked out of the penalty area
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
A goal kick is not considered to be in play until the ball has been directly kicked out of the penalty area. This means that the ball must completely leave the penalty area before it can be touched or played by any player. Until this happens, the opposing team must remain outside of the penalty area and cannot interfere with the goal kick. Once the ball has left the penalty area, it is considered to be in play and can be played by any player on the field.

Rate this question:
9.

Neither the offense nor defense may touch a goal kick until it has left the penalty area
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
In a game of soccer, when a goal kick is taken, both the offense and defense are not allowed to touch the ball until it has left the penalty area. This rule ensures fair play and prevents any advantage being gained by either team. By not touching the ball until it has left the penalty area, it gives the team taking the goal kick a chance to regain possession and start an attack, while also giving the defending team an opportunity to organize their defense. Therefore, the statement "Neither the offense nor defense may touch a goal kick until it has left the penalty area" is true.

Rate this question:
10.

A player is never in an offside penalty position if they receive the ball directly from a throw-in or goal kick.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When a player receives the ball directly from a throw-in or goal kick, they are not considered to be in an offside penalty position. This is because the offside rule only applies when a player is in an offside position at the moment the ball is played to them by a teammate. Since a throw-in or goal kick is not considered a pass from a teammate, the offside rule does not apply in these situations. Therefore, the statement that a player is never in an offside penalty position if they receive the ball directly from a throw-in or goal kick is true.
