QUICK RESTARTS

Penalty

A player may not take the quick restart from a penalty kick until the referee has indicated the mark by verbal instruction and has moved to a position to adjudicate the game. The referee should move quickly to the mark however he does not need to be standing on the mark for play to continue. If the player takes the tap before the mark has been given, play should be stopped and the player instructed to retake the tap on the nominated mark.
If the penalty is given within ten metres of the goal line, the referee should hold play until he is able to position himself where he will not irregularly affect play.

1. All officials are in a position to adjudicate the game.
2. All players from the team taking the restart are on side.
