Can a player score directly from a corner kick in AYSO?

In AYSO, a player is indeed allowed to score directly from a corner kick if the ball goes directly into the goal. This scenario is unique because it recognizes the corner kick as an opportunity for the attacking team to score without needing to pass the ball to another player. When the ball is kicked from the corner arc and enters the goal without touching another player, it counts as a legitimate goal.

The other choices reflect misunderstandings of the rules regarding corner kicks. For instance, passing the ball to another player is a viable tactic, yet it doesn't pertain to scoring directly from the kick itself. Similarly, the idea that the corner taker must serve the ball to themselves implies unnecessary restrictions that the rules do not impose. Thus, the rule clearly allows for the exciting possibility of scoring directly from a corner, making option C the correct answer.
