There are two separate kicks (not including punts) in football, the scrimmage kick and the on-sides kick.

The scrimmage kick is also known as the kickoff. A Kickoff occurs at the start of each half, after a team scores a touchdown or after a team scores a field goal. If the ball is kicked by Team A towards to opponents goal, Team B, the receiving team is given the opportunity to catch the ball. The receiving team must be given the opportunity to catch the ball. If the ball goes out of bounds in the field of play on the kickoff, it is a foul. The receiving team gains possession of the ball at the spot where the ball goes out of bounds. If the ball goes out of bounds in the end zone or hits the uprights, it is considered a touch back. The receiving team gets the ball at the 25 yard line.

If Team A opts for an On-Sides kick, the ball must travel a minimum of 10 yards. If the ball travels more than 10 yards, it is considered a live ball, and any team may recover. If the ball goes out of bounds, the Receiving team retains possession at the spot where the ball goes out of bounds.
