I have a question. My understanding is that under FIFA rules, for the PK shootout you can only use the players that are on the field at the end of the game. You choose your 5 players from those 11 field players. Isn't that correct?
Then, why is it in Louisiana High School soccer that you can select anyone, even kids on the bench who have not played at all, for the PK shootout. I am not complaining, but I was just wondering why there is a change from the FIFA rules. Is there a reason for this change? Are we just trying to make high school soccer different from club soccer? Just curious.

Good question... I'd like to know the logic behind this rule as well.

Maybe it's a district or referee association thing.
Both instances this season where the prospect of shootout was pending (games officiated by two different associations), the head official indicated that the 1st set of 5 shooters as well as the second set of 5 shooters would come from the 11 players on the field following completion of overtime. Each official then referenced that each additional kicker after the first 10 could be chosen from the bench. The first instance was in a tournament final, the second instance was a district match.
That's my experience from this season.

This did not come from any referee organization or association. If it were up to them, I am fairly certain they would want everything in accordance with FIFA Laws of the Game to keep it uniform and eliminate confusion. And somewhere, like every year, someone will get it wrong.

High School soccer is governed by the NFHS (National Federation of High Schools) soccer rules. The laws of the game are no different. The protocol for taking of PKs (personnel to be involved in it) is not one of the laws of the game.
In fact there are several differences with HS procedures (that is what this is) than other FIFA procedures. Substitition procedure is different as is the procedure for a restart after injury.
Laws are the same, some procedures are different, but it is that way in the collegiate game as well.

tournaments can implemetn their own rules, which may explain why a tourney would do that. As far as district rules, they should be following NFHS and those state any rostered player who has not been disqualified.

Thanks for your responses everyone. I had always wanted to start a thread, and this gave me the chance of a lifetime. Even my wife was proud of me.
