How far does the ball have to travel before somebody else can touch it on a free-kick in football(soccer)?

Question

There is an actual rule stating the distance the ball has to travel after the taker has touched it before somebody else, 10 pts for first correct answer.

Answer 1

its either ten yards or ten metres

Answer 2

it doesnt have to move at all, if you are talking about a person on the same team, but the minimum distance is 10 yards, unless you are talking about a passback, where an indirect free kick can be taken anywhere in the box, and this can be less than 10 yards from the goal line.

Answer 3

10 yards

Answer 4

the person who is takeing the free kick just has to touch it  before you can go for the ball. it doesnt have to move at all.

Answer 5

There is no such rule stating a minimum distance. You can go for the ball instantly. The idea is for the guy kicking the ball to place it in that part of the field where his team mates can convert it into a goal.

Answer 6

The other players have to be at least 10 feet away when  you kick the ball but after that it depends on what team gets to the ball first!

Answer 7

Ball has to travel one full rotation or the circumferance

of the ball. On a Kickoff  from center pitch, one full

rotation in a forward motion and it can not be touched

by the same player until its touched by another.

Now as to the period of time you gave others to answer:

Intelligent" than you.
