In soccer, play is resumed in different ways depending on how the ball went out of bounds:

  • A throw-in is awarded when the ball crosses the touchline (sideline) and is last touched by a player from the opposing team.
  • A goal kick is awarded when the ball crosses the goal line (but not into the goal) and was last touched by an attacking player.
  • A corner kick is awarded when the ball crosses the goal line and was last touched by a defending player.

The correct response to your question, assuming the ball went out of bounds along the touchline, is a "Throw-in."
