An indirect kick is a type of free kick in soccer where the ball must touch another player before a goal can be scored. This kick is awarded for less serious fouls, such as offside or a minor infraction. The referee signals an indirect kick by raising one arm above their head. During an indirect kick, players often form a strategy to create a scoring opportunity. The team taking the kick must ensure that the ball is passed to a teammate or touched by an opponent before attempting to score. This rule encourages teamwork and precise execution.
