NFHS Rule Book 9.4 Where the rule uses the word strike, I believe is in regard to using the fist. With kicking it is intent
4-29 says kicking is the act of intentionally striking the ball with any part of the leg or foot.

9-4 says a player shall not "..., intentionally kick it as in 4-29...."

Are there interps that include "clutching the ball with one's legs" in the kicking category?
