For Grades 5 and older, the procedures are as specified by IFAB.

For Grades 3 & 4, the procedures are as specified by IFAB except:

A.     On a goal kick, the team not in possession shall withdraw to its defensive half of the field and may not enter its offensive half of the field until the ball is kicked and moved. Should the team in possession put the ball in play before the opposing players have taken position in their defensive half, play will continue.

B.     On a goal kick, or on a goalkeeper save, followed by a throw-out, punt, or drop kick, the ball must touch the ground in the defensive side of the halfway line, or be touched by any player in the defensive half of the field. Infringement of this rule will result in a turnover of the ball to the other team. Play shall restart with an indirect free kick at the halfway line nearest the spot where the ball crossed the halfway line.
