Place kick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The place kick is a kicking style commonly used in rugby football when kicking for goal and is also used in American football and Canadian football for kickoffs and field goals (a variation is the Squib kick).
It typically involves placing the ball on the ground. To keep the ball in position, a mound of sand, a hole in the turf, or a plastic tee is sometimes used.
The technique was once used in Australian rules football when kicking for goal, but fell out of favour in the mid-20th Century in favour of the Drop punt.
