8U/9U and 10U/11U The Buildout Line rule: on the 7v7 fields (the “C” fields), there are dotted lines between the top of the Penalty area (big box) and the center line – one on each side of the field; this is the Buildout Line. When there is a goal kick, or when the keeper has possession of the ball, the opposing team (the team who was just attacking) must retreat behind the buildout line. The retreating team (now the defending team) must wait for the ball to touch one other player before being able to encroach back into that side of the field. The purpose for this line is to create an atmosphere where teams are building out of the back instead of just punting the ball and losing possession.
