There is a simple but effective rule to respect during a penalty kick. The fastest defenders should position themselves where the "D" line crosses the line of the penalty area in order to be first to the ball in case of a rebound or save. Also, equally position the defenders around the penalty area in order to have every area covered.
At all levels of football, it is well known that teams having just scored a goal, temporarily lose their concentration and the resulting kick-off can lead to a goal being conceded. Similarly, at the beginning of the game, a team can also be caught cold. This demonstrates the need for good concentration in defence. A team should not give away the tactical advantage of having all it's players in it's own half. It is advisable to allow only two forwards to attack the man with the ball when the ball is kicked off.. The other players should maintain their positions and concentrate on their defensive tasks. A tactic which can sometimes work involves two players positioned on the halfway line next to the centre circle. As soon as the ball is kicked off, one player attacks the opposition players in the centre circle, whilst the other anticipates that the ball will be played backwards and sprints into the opposition's half to immediately put pressure on the opposition.
As with kick-offs, the major advantage of the defending team at a goal-kick is due to all it's players being positioned on the goal side of the ball. This should guarantee that every opposition player is marked and that no space is left. Players should position themselves whilst the ball is out of play and keep their concentration. Some players may position themselves correctly but lose concentration during the stoppage. Finally, as soon as the ball is kicked, the receiving player must be put under immediate pressure. The best way to evaluate and coach a team in training, is during 11-a-side games. The coach can look at his team's positioning and actions and correct when necessary. Fig 4 shows the possible positioning of a team (in red) at a goal-kick.

Fig 7: Goal-kick situation
1/ The goalkeeper is well positioned to intercept any long pass over the top of his defence.
2/ The two centre-halves are closely marking the opposition forwards.
3/ The two full-backs are not too far forward to be vulnerable due to the space behind them.
4/ The midfield is well-balanced and close to the opposition midfield players.
5/ The two centre-forwards are well positioned to put pressure on both the centre-halves and fullbacks in case the keeper decides to take a short goal-kick.
