  10. Scrimmage Kick: Positioning – Field Goal/Try H B K U X L R Press Box

  11. Scrimmage Kick: Kick made in or behind the NZ Punt, drop kick, or place kick (for a field goal/try) Scrimmage Kick Formation: Scrimmage kick formation must have a player at least 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage (the likely punter) OR a potential kicker and potential holder at least seven yards deep. It must be obvious that a kick will be attempted. Scrimmage Kick: Definitions, Legal vs Illegal • Legal • Punt, drop kick, or place kick made according to rule • Illegal • Kicker’s entire body is beyond the neutral zone (Live-ball foul, ball is considered dead, 5 yds from previous spot, and loss of down) • Return kick (5 yds from the spot of the foul) • Team B Restrictions • Team B may not line up 3 defenders, shoulder-to-shoulder, moving forward, with contact against single Team A player (Live- ball foul, 5yds from previous spot) • Roughing or Running into Kicker/Holder (15 yds from previous spot, automatic 1st, Rule 9:A16) • Team B may not leap (15yds, Rule 9: A11)

  12. Behind: • All players may catch or recover a kick that does not cross the neutral zone; the ball continues in play • Beyond: • If recovered by Team B, the ball continues in play • Team A cannot touch or recover before the ball is touched by Team B (Violation, BEAN BAG) • All players are eligible to recover once the ball has touched an inbounds Team B player • If Team A recovers, play is dead, Team A gets the ball at the spot of recovery Scrimmage Kicks: Behind or Beyond NZ H B R U K L

  13. Out of bounds • Kicks out of bounds between the goal line belong to Team B at the dead-ball spot • Kicks that come to rest inbounds with no players attempting to secure it belong to Team B at the dead-ball spot • Beyond Goal Line • Non-scoring scrimmage kicks, untouched by Team B, that go behind the goal line or OOB beyond the goal line belong to Team B • Punt: Touchback • Missed field goal: Previous spot or 20 yd line • If a scrimmage kicks beyond the neutral zone, untouched by Team B is batted into the end zone by Team A, violation for illegal touching (not a foul). Ball belongs to Team B at their 20 yard line. Scrimmage Kicks: Out of bounds or Beyond Goal Line

  14. Team A Kickers Team B Receivers Scrimmage Kick – Penalty Enforcement All foulsExcept KCI All Others: 1. Roughing 2. Running 3. Leaping 4. Leverage 5. Fouls at snap KCI PSK • IF: • Ball crosses NZ • Foul During Kick • B possesses at end SpotFoul Team B Possesses Team A Possesses PreviousSpot PreviousorTack-on PreviousSpot Basic Spot is End of Kick (BEANBAG!) • Fouls by Team A in own EZ is a SAFETY

  15. Team A must be given an unimpeded opportunity to catch the kick (with or without a valid or invalid signal) – 15 yds -- between goal lines enforce from spot of foul -- behind goal line award touchback and tack-on 15 from succeeding spot • “Halo” – “width of the receiver’s shoulders and extending one yard in front of him” • Protection ends once the kick touches the ground. No foul if Team A is blocked into the potential Team B receiver Fair Catch/ Opportunity to Catch a Kick Scenario: B48 is in a position to catch A15’s punt at the B-15. While the ball is still very high in the air and well before it comes close to B48, A5 runs directly in front of B48 within a yard but is not near to him when the ball arrives. B48 catches the punt without incident and is tackled by A9. Ruling: Legal play. Though A5 penetrates the one-yard region directly in front of the receiver, this is very early in the action that there is no interference with B48’s opportunity to catch the kick.

  16. Fair Catch/ Opportunity to Catch a Kick Valid Fair Catch Signal Invalid Fair Catch Signal • Extending 1 hand (only) above head, and waving side to side more than once • Protected from contact or being tackled after catch or muff into the air • Dead ball once catch (5 yds if advanced more than 2 steps) • Signaler cannot block or foul after signaling (15 yds spot foul on free kick, PSK applies for scrimmage kick) • Any signal that doesn’t qualify as a valid fair catch. (e.g. “get away”),or • Any signal after: • Ball hits the ground • Ball is touched by a player • Ball already caught/recovered • Dead ball once caught, but • Can be tackled; KCI still possible
