KICKOFF RETURN RULES TO KNOW1. Once a kickoff travels 10 yards, it is a free ball and belongs to the team that recovers it.2. Kickoffs are made at the 30 yard line. The restraining line for the return team is 10 yards away atthe 40 yard line.3. Blocking below the waist is not allowed.4. A fair catch can be used by the return team on kickoffs.5. A ball recovered in the end zone by the coverage team (opponent) is a touchdown, whether or notwe touched the ball.6. Should a kickoff go om of bounds before the goal line, we start our drive 30 yards from the spot ofthe kickoff or where the ball went out of bounds.7. Should the return team touch the ball before it travels 10 yards, it is a free ball and belongs to theteam that recovers it.

KICKOFF RETURN PRINCIPLES:1 Focus on the football thru the kicker. Expect an onside kick and never start to retreat before theball is kicked.2. Since we can not block below the waist at any time, proper position and proper angles areimperative. !3. Maintain leverage and take advantage of your assignments momentum when you block. Use yourintelligence.4. The deep safety will make "yOU-ME" call to the Halfbacks to communicate fielding of kickoffs.5. Get on and down the ball any time it rolls into the end zone.6. Once a return man leaves the end zone with possession of the football, he can not return to downthe ball.7. Our first goal is tv avoid a catastrophe and our second goal is to return past the 30 yard line.8. Treat a kickoff return as the first offensive play of the series. Never give less than an all out effort.9. DEEP SAFETIES:-

a) Catch all kickoffs ... don't allow the ball to hit the ground.b) Always practice receiving kickoffs as if it were game day.c) Be conscious of wind conditions.d) Maintain your poise at all times ... especially vs. squib kicks ... play shortstop and look forthat high bounce to receive the ball.ey Think and practice sound fundamentals ... by game day they will be automatic.f) Use good judgment whether or not to run out a kick that has been caught in the end zone.

10. Evenyone ... study your blocking assignments in film. Mentally, enVisionyourself performing perfectly.
