I just picture little kids lined up on the build out line down in track starts, waiting for the defender to touch the ball and they full speed pounce!

This is absolutely needed in the younger ages...at this age, they need to learn the ability to play out of the back, who cares if they get picked off, the need to learn how to work around that. The build out line will help the players adapt faster vs kids surround the box picking off goal kicks. Punting should not be happening either....teams that punt all the time only care about winning, not developing players.

The no punting rules are so easy to get around. All the goalie has to do is drop the ball and then kick a bouncing ball wherever he/she wants. Also, the build out lines are way too close to truly allow a team to build out of the back on the tiny little fields that some clubs want that age to play on. If you really wanted to let teams build out of the back, the build out line would be mid-field, in which case everyone is lined up like track stars to run to the ball.

Punting should not be happening either....teams that punt all the time only care about winning, not developing players. Playing just one type of soccer all the time is not developing players. Playing out of the back every time is just as bad as punting every time. True development is teaching the kids when to play out of the back and when to punt. There is a time for both. Same thing with short corner v. playing the ball into the box. Long throw ins and short throw ins. Possession v. playing direct. They all have their place. Clubs should focus more on critical thinking so that players understand how to play a particular situation.

Agree, but there are several things a keeper can do other than punting...they can throw it out, roll it out, they can drop the ball to their feel and pass it out or invite the pressure and play a long ball....punting is inappropriate at this age, especially since no heading allowed. There is a progression to development and at the younger ages, players must first be confident ball handlers in pressure situations, and restriction of punting creates that environment.

The coaches should teach the kids to play out of the back and verbalize it and praise it when it is done, but sometimes the best option is over the heads of a team that is high pressuring. Once a team sees that they can be bypassed if they are sitting too high up , they will sit back and playing out of the back can continue. On the other hand, forcing a kid to pass out of the back to a player that is tightly covered, just makes no sense and confuses the goalie. Also, just fyi to someone that asked earlier, I did not see any build outlines in the tournament over the past weekend for a U9 game, but and no calls made for punting, although our team does it correctly and plays out of the back anyway.

Under US Youth Soccer's "great wisdom", they have created a new rule for 10U and 9U games. The build out line is a dotted line that's roughly halfway way from the penalty box and midfield line that the opposing team has to backup to when a GK gets possession with their hands on the ball. The idea is to allow the team with the ball to have an opportunity to build out from the back instead of playing long ball punts. Punting is now no longer allowed until 11U, which is odd since heading isn't allowed till 12U. Like I said "great wisdom".

Just FYI not all clubs are implementing the new rule changes right now. AFC Lightning told me they are not changing to these rules for this weekends tournament so if you have a 7v7 player check with the club first! Especially since Ga Soccer hasn't officially written these new rules in to the rule book so most Refs don't even know about them.
