The fair catch kick is a rarely used rule in some forms of American football that allows a team, after making a fair catch of an opponent's kick, to attempt a field goal freely from the spot of the catch



fair catch kick
a guy at work pointed this out to me.
have any of you old schoolers ever seen this attempted? Has a LSU team ever attempted it?

I think Neil Rackers and the Cardinals attempted it not too long ago.

It would be awesome if they could use a tee in the NFL.

People would certainly try it more often.

If it isn't legal in the NCAA then it doesn't matter.
There is no Football but LSU Football.

Saw Notre Dame High School of Crowley do it in 2009 in the Quaterfinalls.

We used to practice it every thursday during situation when i was in high school. Attempted a couple in games when I played as well. We would set up our punt return with three men back to field the kick. Once the kick is successfully fair caught, the kickoff team would come out and set up. The kicker was permitted to use his kickoff tee. No one could move until the ball was kicked.

Interesting that no one else knows much about it. We had a chance to do this once at the current school I coach at but no one knows what the heck the free kick is.
