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.

How many people are allowed in the box during a goal kick?
If it is your goal kick, your entire team is allowed to be inside the penalty area. If Law 16 says all opponents must be out of the penalty area on goal kicks, and there is no mention of the teammates, then the omission means they can be there.
