A penalty kick is type of free kick awarded if a foul occurs inside the offending player's penalty box.  Players can take a shot on the goal while it is defended only by the opposing team's goalkeeper.

If a game is tied after regular time and a clear winner is necessary, a penalty shootout can also occur to determine the winner. Teams take turns, with the one with the largest number of successful goals after a specified number of attempts becoming the winner. Last year's HOTC U8 Indoor Tournament was decided this way!

This event offers youth the chance to take shots against a local community leader for bragging rights!
