If the kick travels 20 yards or less it is called a "short free kick" and some different rules kick in for short free kicks.

Free Kick Out Of Bounds: If the receiving team is last to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds they next put the ball in play at the inbounds spot. If the receiving team is not the last to touch the kick before it goes out of bounds the receivers get the ball 30 yards from the spot of the kick or on the yard line of the out of bounds spot if this spot is less than 30 yards. Exception: If the ball without going 20 yards, goes out of bounds the first time an onside kick is attempted, the kicking team is penalized five yards and rekick must be made (no declinations), except inside the last five minutes of the second half there will be no rekick. For the second (or more) consecutive onside kick out of bounds or for any onside kick out of bounds inside the last five minutes of the second half: receiving team takes possession of the ball at the out of bounds spot. As you can see the receiving team does not have options regarding penalties in any of the above situations. This of course is true providing there are no other fouls before or during the kick. |

NCAA is the only major North American football rules code that doesn't make it a positive requirement for the free kick to reach R's line. K can just dub the ball forward (even backward) a short distance and if it comes to rest untouched with nobody attempting to play it, it's as for any other kick, no penalty for short free kick.

There was a long period in Fed rules, as well as a shorter one in NCAA, where the option of making K repeat the down with a distance penalty wasn't there, and in high school there were a number of teams, especially JV, who would simply belt the ball out of bounds on a fly, because they didn't consider it worth their practice time to cover kickoffs. The situation was even more striking even earlier. Kicking off (at that time from midfield, the 55 yard line) directly out of bounds was penalized as a do-over. Doing it a second time was penalized by forfeiting the kickoff to the other team. If they too kicked off out of bounds twice consecutively (assuming the result of the play was not taken), the first team would scrimmage at midfield. According to Spalding's at the time, this charade was played out repeatedly until the rules were changed. Robert |
