KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -No Hands, please Second, the proper way to look at this soccer rule is that a player cannot “handle” the ball. A ball that is kicked and hits a player’s hand or arm is not a hand ball.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to FIFA’s Laws of the Game, there is absolutely nothing illegal about the ball coming into contact with a player’s arm or hand. It’s only when the player deliberately creates that contact (or uses unintentional contact in a deliberate manner) in an attempt to control or manipulate the movement of the ball.

Detailed explanation-3: -There will be no penalty if: the ball touches a player’s hand/arm immediately from their own head/body/foot or the head/body/foot of another player. the ball touches a player’s hand/arm close to their body and has not made their silhouette unnaturally bigger.

Detailed explanation-4: -A ‘save’ is when a player stops, or attempts to stop, a ball which is going into or very close to the goal with any part of the body except the hands/arms (unless the goalkeeper within the penalty area).
