Mini soccer u7 5v5 retreat line rule

Steven Brown

Morning everyone

I want to seek clarity on the retreat line rule. There’s mixed opinions within the comments but I would like to confirm the following scenario. 

1) When the keeper has it in their hands from open play does the retreat line rule apply

2) is the retreat line the halfway line. I’ve seen articles suggesting it’s an imaginary line around 1/3 into the opposing teams half. 

If anyone can quote the rule and/or an extract that would be great

Thanks in advance 

Steve

    Nice one Max thank you that’s what I thought however we got challenged regarding that at the weekend by the opposing coach so I delved deeper into it do see a few comments stating it does exist from open play to encourage teams to play out from the back and that League rules can differ slightly from FA rules 

    anyway I’ll continue with the same view as yourself. Thanks again
