In a penalty kick the players can locate themself at least 9.15 meters (10 yards) from the penalty mark, but they have to be outside the penalty area.
To help the referees check visualy that the players are complying with the rule, an arc of a circle with a radius of 9.15 m (10 yds) from each penalty mark is drawn outside the penalty area.

Slight correction, it is 10 yards, not metres. Soccer hasn't gone metric yet.
