Yes it can, but the ball becomes free (live) at that spot instead of the ten yards.
Can a kickoff team catch the ball in the air if it has gone 10 yards
It would be much easier to kick a soccer ball forty yards.
Kick taken 12 yards in front of goal?
10 yards
20 yards. They kick it on the 10 but with the post at the back of the end zone it makes it 20 yards because the end zone is 10 yards.
If you are a K player (kicking team) and 'hit' or 'make contact' with the R player (receiving team) trying to catch the ball before or during the catch, it is a kick-catch interference foul. The R player attempting to catch the kick is given protection. He is given an 'opportunity to catch the ball'. If the R player asks for a fair catch, he is never to be hit, unless the ball hits the ground.
No it is not.
