What happens when a ball, not in possession by the goalkeeper's team, comes to rest just outside of the goalkeeper's area but within reach of the roded goalkeeper? Is the goalkeeper allowed to take possession? Another question may be, when is the goalkeeper allowed to take possession of a ball? Chris.  |

Good question Chris. The goalie is not allowed to extend outside of the 6 yard box. Even though he of course physically could if your rod is long enough, it's not allowed. If the rodded goalie touches the ball outside of the 6 yard box, then the opponent is awarded an indirect free kick from the penalty spot.
Make sense?

Thanks for the quick reply. Your response to the question makes sense. I also will assume that when a shot is taken and it touches the goalkeeper but stays in play then possession reverts to the goalie's team??

Correct. Unless the ball rebounds and hits a member of the shooting player's team, possession is given to the goalie's team if it stays in bounds after hitting the goalie.

Is the rodded keeper allowed to knock the ball forward if within the 6 yard box?

If the keeper plays the ball when the ball is inside the goal box, but in sliding the rod forward the keeper goes just beyond the box after touching the ball, is there any infraction?

Yes. It is a foul and an indirect free kick for the opposing team is awarded from the penalty spot.

Wow, seems like that could be tricky if the ball is right near the edge of the goal box, and the price of making a mistake is pretty high!
