When is a goal penalty shot awarded?
Fouls and penalties · Rule 10.29
Inside six metres, a deliberate or dangerous foul on a player shooting, or passing or positioning for a near-certain goal, can bring a goal penalty shot. Related cases outside six metres require a near-certain goal and an undefended goal.
How it works
Inside six metres, a deliberate or dangerous foul on a player shooting, or passing or positioning for a near-certain goal, can bring a goal penalty shot. Related cases outside six metres require a near-certain goal and an undefended goal. The location, type of foul and likelihood of a goal matter.
In a game
A defender dangerously fouls a shooter inside six metres and the referee awards a penalty shot.
Remember
The location, type of foul and likelihood of a goal matter.
