A player shall: Place the ball on the ground on or behind the sideline and proceed to take the kick following the rules of an indirect free kick.

The ball shall be in play immediately after it has crossed over the line, and may be played by any player except the one who executes the kick-in.

If an opponent interferes with or in any way impedes the actions of the kicker while the kick-in is being taken, the official will administer a yellow card for unsportsmanlike conduct.
