Huskerblue is correct.
National Federation rules:
K cannot interfere with R's ability to catch a free kick.
K cannot possess a free kick until it has travelled 10 yards and has been grounded (both requirements have to be satisfied).
This is a loose ball foul. R can do one of the following: Accept the results of the play; penalize K 15 yards from the previous spot and rekick; R can accept an awarded fair catch at the spot of the foul and either snap or free kick.
