SheBelieves Cup Law Changes

The Referee Store
"On a goal kick and a free kick for the defending team in their own penalty area, the ball is in play as soon as the kick is taken so a player – or opponent as long as they started outside the penalty or were not given the proper time to exit the penalty – can play the ball before it leaves the penalty area."

If this is how the final version of the LOTG amendment reads, it is going to be very painful in young games.

In a non refereeing perspective, I though the FA were trying to encourage young footballers to play football from the back? I see this amendment to the LOTG a complete contradiction of that all you’ll get attackers charging through the box the moment a keeper plays it short.
