REVIEW • Any infractions (except 2nd touch) Retake the kick • 2nd touch by kicker IFK for opponents • Dropped ball for undefined stoppages • Where does the dropped ball take place? • When is the ball in play? • What happens if a player “double touches” the ball? • Who can participate? How many can?
