I read the rule to mean that the ball can't be moving when it's kicked.

By rule in this case would the ball have to be parallel to the sidelines or could it be perpendicular as well?

OK either way by rule. But I've never seen a team "squib kick" the pointed end of the ball.

thats not the only thing you see around these parts in the pee wees. Thats why I keep doing them, helps me learn the rules better.

To refine the "fixed position on the ground" language even further, what do you think of this? Player spins the ball on the ground in place on its point like a top and then kicks it. (My sister was able to do that.) Place kick? I think so, if the ball's contact point with the ground isn't moving.
