What signal do you use for an onside kick? And...is it really necesary and are you possibly signalling the R team? I think we get ready for the obvious on-side kicking situations and are always alert for one in a non-obvious situation.

We have used two different ones for my last two crews. The first was which arm the BJ raised to indicate he was ready for the kick. If it was the arm toward the receivers it was a deep kick. If it was the arm toward the kickers it was an onside kick.

The second is even more subtle. If B's hand is open on his signal it is a deep kick. If his hand is a fist then it is an onside kick.
