How do you recover an onside kick?

Exceptions. Onside kicks are designed to travel the minimum distance on the field and be recovered by the kicking team in bounds. If the receiving team touches the ball prior to the ball traveling 10 yards, then an exception occurs.

Does onside kick have to go 10 yards?

The kick must cross the receiving team’s restraining line (normally 10 yards in front of the kicking team’s line), unless the receiving team touches the ball before that line. The kicking team must not interfere with an attempt by a player of the receiving side to catch the ball on the fly.

Can you recover your own kickoff?

A kickoff is a free kick, not a scrimmage kick (like a punt) – as such, once it travels 10 yards it’s a live ball and can be legally recovered by either team.

Does an onside kick have to hit the ground?

It does not have to hit the ground. The reason it is kicked on the ground is because if the ball is kicked in the air, the receiving team would have the option to call for a fair catch. Once called for, the kicking team could not interfere and have to allow the receiving team a clear catch.

What percentage of onside kicks are successful?

In 2017, teams recovered 12 of 57 onside kicks, a success rate of 21 percent; the Miami Dolphins alone recovered 4 of 5 onside kicks. In 2018, the first year after the kickoff rule changes, teams recovered 4 of 52 onside kick tries.
