Why do they call it football when you do not kick?
The ball is kicked in American football: at kick off, during fieldgoal attempts, and when punted.
If a football that is punted goes through the goal posts is it a field goal?
no it's just a touchback No. A field goal can only be scored from a placekick or dropkick. The ball has to have made contact with the ground before it was kicked.
Does the ball have to cross the goal on a punt to be a touch back?
In order to be a touchback, a punted (or kicked-off) ball must reach the goal line. Any part of the ball can be over any part of the line, just as in touchdowns or two-point tries. The ball does not need to travel all the way to the back of the end zone.
Where is a fair catch ball spotted?
When a punted ball is 'fair caught' by a receiver, the ball is spotted at the mark that the receiver caught the ball.

What if a receiving player accidentally touches a punted football?
As soon as the ball is touched by a member of the receiving team, the ball is live and can be recovered by either team. (If the receiving team does not touch the ball, then a player from the punting team can only down the ball, not recover it.)
What is the strategy behind using a squib kick in football and how does it differ from a traditional kickoff?
A squib kick in football is a strategy where the ball is kicked low and bounces along the ground, making it harder for the receiving team to catch and return the ball. This can help prevent a long return and give the kicking team better field position. The main difference between a squib kick and a traditional kickoff is the trajectory of the ball. A traditional kickoff is usually kicked high and deep to give the kicking team time to cover the field and prevent a long return. A squib kick, on the other hand, is kicked low and bounces along the ground to make it harder for the receiving team to catch and return the ball effectively.
Can the kicker punt the ball into the uprights on a fieldgoal?
I believe this IS allowed in the NFL so long as the ball leaves the kicker's foot before crossing the line of scrimmage. I can't recall though ever seeing this type of kick DONE in an NFL game. ---- A field goal is attempted when the ball is placed on the ground for the kicker to kick or when the ball is dropped to the ground and kicked once it touches the ground and starts its bounce back up. In other words, the ball must have touched the ground or is touching the ground when the kick is attempted for the attempt to be considered a 'field goal attempt'. A punt occurs when a kicker kicks the ball before it has touched the ground. No points can be scored by a punt. So the answer to the question, as I understand it, is no. No. If a punted ball travels through the uprights, no points are scored. The ball has to make contact with the ground before it's kicked to score points, either by placekick or dropkick.
When a team has control of the ball and the ball is kicked out of bounds by the opposing team on defense is the shot clock reset?
In the NBA, if the ball is kicked, regardless of whether the ball goes out of bounds, the shot clock is reset to 14 seconds if there are less than 14 seconds on it at the time of the kicked ball and stays the same if there are more than 14 seconds on it at the time of the kicked ball.
What is the average acceleration of football when it is punted?
The average acceleration of a football when it is punted can vary, but typically, it ranges from 8 to 10 m/s^2. This acceleration is produced by the force applied by the kicker's foot to the ball, propelling it forward.
What happens to a soccer ball if it is kicked below the centre?
Generally, a soccer ball kicked below the center will go upward.
