The GJSA would like to confirm the following rules, which are in line with the existing 2004 Rules of Rooball;

Free Kicks

Where an attacking team is awarded a Free Kick on or within 7 metres of the D circle line, the kick is to be taken back 7 metres from the D line, so that the defending team can establish a defensive wall. This common approach is to be used for all GJSA Rooball games (ie U/6, U/8 & U/10) to ensure that at all times opposing players are at least 7 metres from the ball when a free kick is taken.

Penalties

In terms of the Rules of Rooball any discrepancies inside the D from the Defending Team will result in the Attacking Team taking a Penalty Kick from the top of the D. The inside of the D must be clear of all players except for the Goal Keeper. Discrepancies by the defending team include any handling of the ball inside the D by any defending player other than the Goal Keeper or any other significant foul or misconduct deemed by the Referee.
