Encroachment. A free kick must be a legal kick. (2-24-3) A legal kick is intentional. (2-24-1) Sliding into a ball is not intentional. A kicker is a player who makes a legal kick. A legal kick was not made. Therefore, the would-be kicker has encroached. (6-1-3)
Technically, anyway. I'd probably just reset the play clock and re-kick.
