  4. Quick Free Kick - Risks Defender moving closer than 10 yards to ball interferes with kick • Stop play, caution, retake the kick Any other circumstance, play continues. Examples: • Ball kicked directly to opponent • Ball kicked and opponent moves sideways to intercept • Opponent moves closer to ball but does not interfere

  5. Ceremonial Free Kick • Ceremonial kick is appropriate • Caution or send off • Treatment of injury on the field • Request from kicking team • Needed for game management • Referee must clearly indicate “whistle” • Play must be restarted with a whistle
