Illegal disposal when Tackled – drop

Posted on 19 April 2008 by

When tackled you have to get rid of the ball legally otherwise the tackler will be rewarded with a free kick. The two ways of disposing the ball when tackled is either by handball or by kicking the football. One way people illegally dispose of the football when tackled is by dropping the ball.

How to tell when the ball is dropped when Tackled

  1. When ball just drops out of hands, it means the tackled player probably did not handball the ball.
  2. When attempting to handball it must be visible that the ball has been handballed.
  3. When attempted to kick the ball the tackled person does not make contact.
