"...kick used at a kickoff or other free kick, or scrimmage kick or other kick during play, in which the ball is kicked favorably for the kicking team to avoid giving away the ball. ...The kick must cross the receiving team's restraining line (normally 10 yards in front of the kicking team's line), unless the receiving team touches the ball before that line. The kicking team may only recover and retain possession of the kicked ball, but not advance it. The kicking team must not interfere with an attempt by a player of the receiving side to catch the ball on the fly The kick must be a free kick (a kickoff, or free kick after a safety, but not the rare fair catch kick) " |
