Law 8 mini soccer

[Mr Aaron Moore]

In law 8 it states that a goal can be scored directly from kick off, does this include mini soccer i.e under 7s-8s

In England, no.

From the mini-soccer "Laws" from the FA website:

In Mini-Soccer a goal cannot be scored directly from a start or restart of play.

All those Laws found here:

If you're not in England, your mileage may vary.

At the risk of stating the obvious, be careful not to confuse restarts (kick off/goal kicks) with free kicks as all free kicks in 5/7-a-side football are direct, including those given for keepers handling a back pass.
