hit a bit lower on the ball and follow all the way through..as for it going to the right..that could be because your foot is open when you hit it try hitting with your instep..and keep your plant foot aimed at your intened target... i hope that helps!!

Touchdown - 6 points, with 1 point after for ball kicked through uprights, 2 points for rush or catch into endzone.\nField Goal - 3 points, independent of distance\nSafety - 2 points, scored by either tackling an offensive player in his endzone, an offensive player stepping out of the endzone or fumbling the ball out of the enzone, or an offensive penalty in their own endzone.

There is no need for it, but as the game becomes more specialized and as coaches realize how important both punting and kicking are, they would rather make sure they get the best punter and kicker they can get.\nLook at it this way: suppose I'm a great punter. Now, I could also placekick, but I would likely be at least a little less accurate in my placekicking than someone who specialized just in that. Now, what coach is going to be happy with me placekicking when the game is on the line? The extra accuracy of the place-kicking specialist could be the diffence in the game, and of the coach keeping his job. \nSome teams have even gone so far as to have 2 placekickers, one for field goals and one for kickoffs.

Technically an offensive player is offsides if they are closer to the goal than the last field defender (this does not include the goal keeper for obvious reasons) when the ball is played forward by the offense.\n\nI answered with Football in mind, not American Football. Hope this clears things up for you.

i assume we're talking about american football here. offside is when the defensive team crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. the line of scrimmage being the yard line where the ball is currently spotted. an onside kick is when the team kicking off  tries to kick the ball short so that they can recover it before the receiving team does. you see the rule is if the team kicking off kicks the ball 10 yards down the field they can recover it if they can get to it before the receiving team

It's a touchback. \nConversely if a field goal doesn't make it through the end zone, the Defense can return it like a kick off.

Some of these people are confused on the catching a td in the endzone I think. THe question was how many feet in the endzone for a completed catch. He didn't ask running from outside the endzone from the 3. Both feet have to be down in the endzone. If he is pushed out when he comes down with it, he must maintain possesion throughout falling down. THere is another way called a force out. If he gets one foot down but gets pushed out before he can bring the other down, it is still a touchdown, but the ref has to call a force out.

I say let them score. The other team isn't going to risk a fumble, so they're going to take a knee, let the clock run down to 3 seconds, then kick a field goal. \nThe odds of you making a touchdown in 1 minute are usually better than them missing a chip shot field goal. Unless your offense really stinks.

See, this is the problem that I'm having. Because if the field goal is tipped and returned, then it's yards (It's counted as a punt I believe), so I don't quite understand why these return yards shouldn't be counted. So, if a tipped ball would be considered a punt, why not one that isn't tipped but is caught and returned... makes no sense at all...\n\nI'm right there with you, it should have been counted as a punt, or actually a drop kick...\n\nHope we both find our answers... :)

In the original game of football, before some of the rules changed, the main basis of scoring was to either drop kick a ball, punt, kicking field goals, and running with the ball much like rugby.  As time went on, the rules evolved with the game.  Why does it need to make sense?  Why don't you call your football soccer?  I think it sounds better.

If a keeper uses their hands on a back pass the other team gets a free kick. If the keeper uses their hands outside the 18 yard box there is a free kick.

a penalty kick is awarded when a foul is committed by the defensive team within the penalty box (18 yard box) that would normally be punishable by a direct free kick (this means kicking, pushing, holding etc.).  any player on the team can take the kick but the fouled player usually does.  you can tell a penalty kick is being awarded because the referee Will blow the whistle and point down to the penalty spot (where the kick is taken from).

That wasn't a rule, it was a kind of code in the past, when the keeper indicated his full control of the ball.\n\nWhen the keeper is in full control of the ball, an opponent may not challenge him, however he needs to release the ball into play not later than 6 secs. \n\nThe keepers in the past liked to bounce the ball once, before grabbing it again. They can't do that now, the moment he releases the ball from his hands, it is in play, he cannot handle it again unless, it is played by another player. \n\nFor any infringement by the keeper, an indirect kick will be awarded to the opponents where the infringement occurred, except in the 6 yard box, where the ball is placed on the 6 yard line perpendicular to where the infringement occurred.\n\nThere is an offence for charging the goalkeeper by an opponent, this happens when the keeper is in control of the ball or when he appears to be in control (when in mid-air, he rises to catch the ball but is unfairly impeded by a charge).\n\nPlay is restarted with a direct free-kick in this instance.

Blocked punts do count.  But in order to get the points, they must remain behind the line of scrimmage.  Here's the rule:\n\n"Blocked kicks are counted only in instances where a kick (FG, PAT, or punt) is touched by the defense and remains behind the original line of scrimmage."\n\nI believe the punt you are talking about went beyond the line of scrimmage, so unfortunately, you won't get any points for that.

The ball is only "grounded" if it's in the end zone...if the ball is between the goal lines, its a live ball and either team can pick it up.  An onside kick is just shorter and the kicking team has a higher chance of getting the ball back

a penalty kick is a real pain for the defending team and a nightmare to the shotstopper unless he saves it..\n\npenalty kick is awarded when the players of the defending team commit a foul inside the 18 yard box....\n\nthe foul is not specific, the situations which can attract this are, clumsy or dangerous tackles, shirt pulling, dangerous movements (physical), elbowing, pushing, handling the ball, fake fall by the defender etc....\n\nin some, not so very hard up situations the referee can choose to give the attacking team an indirect feer-kick inside the 18 yard box as well...\n\nthe severity of the situation determines the type of kick which is most dominated by the former.. also to get a penalty shot the foul has to be commited inside the box..
