KICKING
- Kickoffs are from the goal line. Kickers may use a one-inch tee.
- Punting is illegal. On fourth down, a team may go for a first down, touchdown or field goal.
- The receiving team may field any kickoff or missed field goal that rebounds off the net.
- Any untouched kickoff, which is out of bounds, will be placed at the 20-yard line or the place where it went out-of-bounds, whichever is more advantageous to the receiving team.
REBOUND NETS
- Goal-side rebound nets extend outward
from each upright. The nets are 30-feet wide, 32-feet high and extend to
40 feet above the playing surface. The bottom bars of the frames are
positioned eight feet above the surface. The "scoring area" is nine-feet
wide and 15-feet high.
- Nets are stretched taut so that a missed kick attempt will rebound off the net and back into the field of play.
- Once the ball caroms off the net, it's live.
