U-11?  Did you mean U10 or U12 - we don't have a U11 division. Or was 
this not AYSO? I'm guessing not AYSO, because in AYSO there are only 
four substitution opportunities, and a goal kick is not one of them.

There's problem #1. Substitutes should never be allowed to enter the 
field until the players that they are replacing have left the field.

Inside the goal area, 6 feet from the goal /line/?

This would be a great discussion topic for one of referee/coach "talk it 
out" meetings. Like one of those kids' picture puzzles: how many 
different issues can you spot?

Please clarify the question above, then let's see what the wisdom of the 
list has to say.
