Canadian football requires a place kick for kicking off. Rugby Union now requires a drop kick. I think it's still a place kick in Rugby League.
NFHS undertook an initiative to harmonize its free kick rules that culminated in the late 1970s, so that there were very few differences remaining between the provisions for different types of free kicks; only the kickoff was the odd one in not being allowed to score a goal & not being allowed to be a punt. A few years later they started differentiating the rules regarding different types of free kicks again. These things go in cycles. |
