When a kick off goes out of bounds when can the 5 yard penalty be added on?

If the kick was not touched by R (this cancels the penalty), or if R did not commit a penalty before or after the end of the kick. If R touched the kick, ball is placed at the OOB spot. If R commits a penalty, the penalties offset, and K re-kicks from the previous spot. Otherwise Road can accept the ball at the out-of-bounds spot +5, 30 from previous spot +5, or rekick +5.

In NFHS, the only tack-on would be if R chooses the OOB spot option. The tack-on doesn’t apply if they choose to take the ball 25 yards (not 30) from the free kick spot.

Isn't the rule 30 from the previous spot, or am I confusing that with NCAA?

There's no tack-on at all in Fed. The 5 yard penalty applies only if R makes K kick again.

What about this year's rule changes allowing R to add 5 yards to the succeeding spot if K commits a penalty (other than encroachment) on a free kick?http://https://www.nfhs.org/sports-r...-changes-2018/

This is a good question. I hadn't thought of this when dealing with the kicking game and the add on. I don't recall it being discussed at the rules meeting either. I am interested in what others say.

Looks like reading helps. Rule 6-1-9:

ART. 9 . . . A free kick shall not be kicked out of bounds between the goal lines untouched inbounds by R. If it is kicked out of bounds and R does not accept a penalty for kick-catch interference on the same kick as in 6-5-4, R has the following choices:

a. Accept a 5-yard penalty from the previous spot and have K rekick;

b. Accept a 5-yard penalty from the succeeding spot;

c. Put the ball in play at the inbounds spot 25 yards beyond the previous spot; or

d. Decline the penalty and put the ball in play at the inbounds spot.

a NON official asks: what (in this context) is the difference between the "succeeding spot" and the "inbounds spot?" Or, are they the same and you are just giving R the option of taking the 5-yards? And, why would R ever decline the 5 yards?

Incorrect, there has been a rule change for 2018.

And PLEASE can we all remember that the inbound spot is the "HASH" on the side of the field on which the ball went out of bounds.

[ilyazhito]

Inbounds spot= spot where ball will be next put into play inbounds (i.e. the nearest hash mark).

Succeeding spot = yard line on which the ball became dead at the end of the preceding play, used for enforcement of unsportsmanlike, non-player, dead ball fouls, and live ball fouls treated as dead ball (e.g. free kick out of bounds).

Now, both FED and NCAA allow 5 yards to be added to the spot where the ball went out of bounds, i.e. the succeeding spot.

They wouldn’t, although I’m sure someone could come up with a third-world play where they might want to. And in this instance, there’s no difference between the two terms.

Thanks. Methinks the rule could have been edited / written better to allow for the new rule (just as in the other rule books with which I am familiar)

In at least one of the major codes, a team getting a penalty enforced is always allowed to decline the distance portion of the penalty, and ISTR someone here bringing up an example where they might.
