Fair catch.....

One difference in our FCFKick from the NFL is the kicker in HS can use a tee, like a regular free kick, but in the NFL they must kick it off the ground. No snap obviously, but someone holds it on the ground. Everything else is the same.

It is also possible for A to free kick following a fair catch, if they run a play in which a penalty is accepted and the down is replayed.

Consider: In the last few seconds on the 1st half after a fair catch following a punt, Team A snaps the ball from Team B's 45 yard line. A24 gains 10 yards on a running play and during the down B26 grasped and pulled A24s facemask. The penalty moves the ball to B's 20 yard line. A now has the option to free kick since 1st down is repeated. Something they may want to do since the 1st half is about to end.
