the D is an arc 10 yards from penalty spot. At all free kicks opponents must be minimum 10 yards away, at penalties this applies to both teams, so all players other than penalty taker and goalkeeper must remain outside the arc or penalty area until the ball has been kicked.

When players take a penalty, the player taking it has to stand outside the D or the referee does something, but I'm not sure what! Hope it helps! (*^_^*)

Walter is right - the distance from the penalty spot the other players have to be ( I think it used to be 10 yeards, now 9.5m)
