Attacking, Set Play # 9 - Penalty kicks.

Penalty kicks. The attacking team has a penalty kick, and are in their prearranged position. The kicker must follow in his/her shot in and 4 of his/her teammates. Attacker 2, 3, 4 and 5, must converge on the goal for rebounds, being sure not to roam inside the area until the kick has been taken. Remember that if the ball comes back off the bar or post without the goalkeeper touching it, then the player who took the penalty must not touch it!
