U7/8 new rules - dribble in / kick in

HI Guys,

The FA issued a video explaining the rationale for changing the rules and a summary - but I cant see any written guidance? I've encountered a few different interpretations over the summer from opposition coaches so keen to try and get something official that is consistent to share. My understanding is;

NO throw ins

Bal must be stationary on the sideline before coming back in play
Kick in or dribble in - if kick in you cant score direct from it & oppo have to be 5 yards away
Dribble in - as soon as you dribble in - its back in play fully (so a player can dribble in and score all the way - it does not have to touch another player)
Headers - indirect free kick where the header took place , unless it is in the penalty box in which case the free kick is taken from the nearest sideline of the penalty box - so not the line directly in front of the goal - always to the side.

Thanks

Rob
