NFHS 6.8.b
A free kick shall not be kicked out of bounds between the goal lines untouched by R. If it is, R has the following choices:

a. Accept a 5-yard penalty from the previous spot and have K rekick.
b. Put the ball in play at the inbounds spot 25 yards beyond the previous spot.
c. Decline the penalty and put the ball in play at the inbounds spot.
