Goal Kick Procedure

[Eastshire]

The scenario I'm envisioning here is one where the ball has been placed and the kicker has retreated to take the kick and then runs back up picks the ball up and moves it across the field.

I'm not tolerating that for any reason. The player has plenty of time to decide where to take the goal kick from before retreating. Once made, their choice stays made. Regardless of the reason for the delay, it is delaying the restart.

This is entirely different than a player who realizes the ball is in a divot and tries to better position the ball in the same location, so long as she does so promptly.
