Ball in play from a goal kick...

Q: On a goal kick by the defense (within its own penalty area), what is the restart if the ball is kicked backwards and goes over the goal line between the boundaries marked by the sides of the penalty area?

Answer:

In this situation the ball must leave the penalty area and enter the field to be considered in play. If the ball leaves the field without exiting the penalty area and entering the field proper, the kick is retaken.
