in dead ball situation, the opposition players must not be anywhere near 10 yards from the ball..this includes the kick off..during the kick off, the oppositon players must stand outside the circle because the circle's radius is 10 yards..that's all..it's similar to the D outside the penalty box..the opposition player must not stand within the D area when a penalty kick is being taken..it's just to make sure that they're 10 yards away..

The halfway line divides the pitch in half lengthways. Halfway across the halfway line is the centre spot, from which kick-offs are taken at the start of each playing period and after a goal is scored. The centre circle (radius 9.15 m (10 yards)) surrounds this spot, and serves to indicate the distance opposing players must stay from the ball at a kick-off.

When they kick off, opponents must be outside the circle. The semicircles in front of the box mark the are where there can be no opponents when a penalty ids being taken.
