In an on-sides kick the football does not have to touch the ground. The football must travel at least 10 yards before the kicking team can legally touch the football.
No. Frank Gore of the 49ers was given a 5 yard penalty for calling fair catch after an onsides kick that didn't touch the ground.
No it doesn't, but one of the receiving team must touch it 1st if it hasen't hit the ground to make it a live ball. Mark
no, that may be a yellow card because when the goal keeper has the ball in their hands no one can touch it.
A line-out against the team who put it in touch EXCEPT where a penalty kick was awarded. IN this case the team awarded the penalty kick may decide to kick for position advantage and in doing so kicks the ball in to touch. The line-out awarded from this is FOR the team taking the penalty and they have the throw in. In the case of a free kick (j) Outside the kicker's 22, no gain in ground. When a free kick awarded outside the 22 goes directly into touch, the throw-in is in line with where the ball was kicked, or where it went into touch, whichever is nearer the kicker's goal line. (k) Inside the kicker's 22 or in-goal, gain in ground. When a free kick is awarded in the 22 or in-goal and the kick goes directly into touch, the throw-in is where the ball went into touch.
not unless its a drop kick or a drop penalty kick.
Yes it can, but the ball becomes free (live) at that spot instead of the ten yards.
10 yards
Kickers do not deform the ball before they kick it.
The ball must travel at least ten yards and it must touch the ground . The order of these occurances does not matter. These restrictions are not in effect if the receivers touch the ball first. If the ball is touched by the receivers first either team may recover the ball but only the receivers may advance the kick.
no someone else has to touch it first
A goal kick is awarded to the defending team when the ball goes out of the field of play by crossing, either on the ground or in the air, the goal line, without a goal being scored, when the last person to touch the ball was from the attacking team. If the last person to touch the ball was a member of the defending side, a corner kick is instead awarded to the attackers. A corner kick is taken from whichever corner is closer to the place where the ball crossed the goal line. A goal kick is taken from anywhere in the 6-yard box.
No, the goalie is not allowed to touch the ball in their hands if the last person to kick the ball is their teamate.
