The team that wins the toss chooses the end of the field they will attack. The other team kicks off for the first half.
Teams switch ends of the field for the second half of the game. The team that didn't kick off to start the half kicks off to start the second half
Kick-off requirements:
- From the center mark
- Each team in its half of the field
- Players from the other team must be outside the center circle
- Ball is kicked and moves forward (into the "other half" of the field)
A goal can be scored directly from a kick-off ("directly" means that no one else touched or played the ball).
A dropped ball cannot be played by anyone until it hits the ground (otherwise, the ball has to be dropped again).
There is no requirement that any players at all or any certain number of players have to participate in a dropped ball restart
A dropped ball may not be taken inside either team's goal area.
Instead, the ball is dropped on the goal area line closest to where the ball was when play was stopped.
