Build Out Line (On goal kicks and goal keeper possession):

• The defending team must drop behind the restriction/build out line.

• The defending team players may cross the restriction/build out line after the attacker has received the ball (after the attacker’s first touch).

  • From goalkeeper possession, the goalkeeper may throw, roll, or pass the ball; build out line enforced until the teammate has received the ball (after the attacker’s first touch).  

  • If a goalkeeper attempts to dribble out of the back, defending players may cross the build out line to pressure the ball. 

  • The attacking team may restart play immediately, even before the defending team has dropped behind the restriction/build out line. If the goalie plays fast then the defending team may go after the ball, even if they have not dropped behind the build out line.

  • If the goalie throws or rolls the ball and the ball passes the build out line, the defending team may go after the ball regardless of whether or not the attacking team has touched the ball.
