Field Boundaries (In or Out of Bounds)
When is a ball in our out of bounds?
In soccer, the lines are considered part of the field of play.
A ball is in play (in bounds) until the whole ball completely crosses the touch-line or goal-line, either on the ground or in the air.
If any portion of a ball is on or above the white line, the ball is still considered on the field and in play.
The position of the ball determines whether or not play continues - not the position of the player.
