Two kicks on same down
 
Can a team have two kicks, punts on the same play? This happened last night in a JV game. Punter kicked ball in his blockers back and it bounced back to the kicker and he ran away from the defenders and kicked it again. Legal or not?

Legal in NFHS and NCAA. No clue about NFL.

NFL: Legal provided the ball hasn't crossed the line of scrimmage.

Legal in all Canadian rulesets, at any time. Kicking the ball is a legal way to advance field position. The exception being that only onside players may recover without penalty.
