Dropkicking is when the ball is dropped and hits the ground (ideally on its end) before it is kicked. in Rugby Union it is used to restart play from the 22 metre line, and in Rugby League from under the posts. In both League and Union it is used to score points. When the ball is dropkicked through the posts during general play it is worth three points in Rugby Union and one point in Rugby League. It is also used for a conversion instead of a placekick in Sevens rugby.

a drop ball is when you pass the ball back to someone on your team behind you. For example when im in middle field and someone says drop! i turn around and pass the ball to a defender on my team.

You drop kick an American Football by letting the football touch the ground just before you kick it. You hold the football with the laces up, the point out, and the football about waist high. You drop the ball so that it lands on a flat part just behind the point between two seams. It touches the ground a split second before you kick it. The objective is to kick it between the goal posts. A drop kick scores an extra point or a field goal. Thus, a player can be standing on the 10 yard line after a touchdown. He can look at the defense. If they are set up to try to block the kick, he can try to pass the ball for 2 points. If they are set up to defend against the pass, he can drop kick for one. He can be on the 30 yard line. If the opposition is in one defense, he can drop kick for a field goal, otherwise he can punt to put them near the goal, or even try to pass for a first down. If he is good, the drop kick can be an effective weapon.

A drop kick in soccer is where the ball is in the air, around the stomach area, and the kicker jumps in like a sideways motion, and kicks the ball in the desired location.

Yes. In fact, Doug Flutie dropkicked an extra point for the Patriots in 2006. But kicking is so much easier with a holder that dropkicks are practically obsolete.
