Question 1
A goalkeeper has the ball in the goal area. How long is the count to release the ball?
Answer: B 5 seconds
Why
The textbook says goalkeepers can move around in the goal area without restrictions, except for a 5-second count to release the ball.
Question 2
A goalkeeper takes a goal throw. From where does the goalkeeper throw the ball?
Answer: C From the goal area, out over the 6-meter court line
Why
The goal throw is taken by the goalkeeper from the goal area out over the 6-meter court line.
Question 3
In a handball match at a school in Addis Ababa, both teams finish with the same number of goals. What is the result?
Answer: A The game is tied
Why
The team with more goals wins. The game is tied if both teams have scored the same number of goals, or if neither team has scored.
Question 4
The goal-line referee confirms that a goal has been scored. How does the referee show this?
Answer: C Two short whistle signals and a hand signal
Why
The goal-line referee confirms the goal with two short whistle signals and a hand signal.
Question 5
A goalkeeper stands in a stance to defend the goal. How far apart should the feet be?
Answer: C Not less than about 30 cm
Why
The basic stance has the feet apart from the center, approximately not less than 30 cm, with the knees slightly bent. This helps the goalkeeper move quickly from side to side.
Question 6
During a throw-in, how far away must the defending players stay from the player who is throwing the ball?
Answer: B At least 1 meter
Why
The textbook says the defending players must be at least 1 meter away from the executing player during a throw-in.
Question 7
Tigist is a goalkeeper. She puts the ball back into play with a goal throw. When may she receive the ball again?
Answer: D Only after the defense has gained possession of the ball
Why
After the goal throw, the goalkeeper may not receive the ball again until the defense has gained possession.
Question 8
A player in a school game in Hawassa scores a goal. Then the signal for the end of the half sounds immediately after the goal, before the throw-off. What does the rule say?
Answer: B The goal is awarded, and the referees must make clear that it counts
Why
The textbook says a goal is awarded if the end-of-half signal sounds immediately after the goal and before a throw-off can be taken. The referees must make clear, without a throw-off, that they have awarded the goal.
Question 9
A defender breaks a rule in the game. The ball still goes into the goal anyway. What should happen?
Answer: B A goal is awarded, even though the defender broke a rule
Why
The textbook says a goal shall be awarded if a defender breaks a rule but the ball still goes into the goal.
Question 10
In a game in Addis Ababa, a shot is in the air. The timekeeper blows the whistle and stops the game. After that, the ball crosses the goal line completely. Is a goal awarded?
Answer: C No, because the game was interrupted before the ball completely crossed the goal line
Why
A goal cannot be awarded if a referee, timekeeper or delegate interrupted the game before the ball had completely crossed the goal line. The shot does not count in this case.
