	Drop kick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Drop kicks have exceptionally been up to 60-70 metres long in the past in rugby, though being able to perform a 50 metre drop kick is considered a significant achievement.
		The only execution of the drop kick in recent years in the NFL was by Doug Flutie, reserve quarterback of the New England Patriots, against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006 for an extra point after a touchdown.
		The kick was considered a drop kick and it led to a change of possession and the team that punted regained possession of the ball.

		A box kick is often used by a scrum half to kick from the base of a scrum or a ruck or a maul, often from the right-hand side of the field for the right winger to chase and put pressure on the defence.
		A grubber kick is used to move the ball along the ground in such a way as to make it difficult for opponents to control.
		Kicking practice is a good opportunity for other players to practice receiving the ball, from the ground or from the air and also to practise the chase and the organisation of the chasing players.

		The ball may not be passed forward (though it may be kicked forward) and players may not receive the ball in an offside position, nor may they wait in such a position.
		If the ball is kicked out of touch, the touch judge on that side lifts the flag and stands perpendicular to where the ball went out to mark it.
		A kick technique where the ball is dropped to the ground and as it bounces back up it is kicked.

	Human Kinetics
		There are two basic ways of kicking the ball: from your hand (the punt, chip kick, box kick, grubber kick and wipers kick) or from the ground (the place kick and drop kick).
		Your grubber, chip or high kicks should help your teammates regain possession behind a defence, having moved the ball across the gain line (so that the ball is in front of all attacking players).
		Kicking practice is also a good opportunity for your teammates to practise receiving the ball, from the ground or from the air, and to practise chasing kicks in order to regain possession.

	Rugby - beginner's Guide\| Advanced Styles
		Kicking forms a major part of rugby and is used to start and restart the game, score points, win territory, launch an attack or get a team out of trouble (known as a clearance kick).
		The kick must cross the opposition's 10-metre line, which the opposition are not allowed to encroach beyond until the ball is kicked.
		A drop kick is taken from the 22m line if a team touches down in its own in-goal area but did not carry the ball over the try line, or if the ball is kicked over the dead ball line from any other play other than the kick-off.

		Another important aspect of tactical kicking is that a kick to touch from behind the 22 meter line is marked at the point the ball left the pitch.
		A kick taken in front of the 22 meter line must land in field or a touch a player on the field before going into touch, otherwise the line-out is awarded at the location of the kick and not where it went out.
		A grubber kick is in principle much the same as a chip kick, but is kicked along the ground.

	Rugby Coaching Notes - Kicking
		Nothing in the Laws says the kick has to be taken on the 22 and a recent change in the Laws allows for members of the kicking team to be in front of the kicker as long as the kicker or another player puts his team on-side.
		Like the garryowen the box kick is a potent tactic if it is accurate both for distance and angle, and the kicker's team expect it as, say, part of a rehearsed move and are thus poised to exploit it.
		The famous wipers kick (diagonally into the space behind the openside wing) is by far the best way at junior levels to set up a full-back/wing counterattack by the opposition exactly in the part of the field where your team has least defense.

		Assuming you are taking a kick for touch some distance away from the try line (the one you are trying to score at), then aim the kicking cursor a little past the heads of the oppositions line of defence.
		Kicking for touch should almost always be the course of action that you undertake, unless you are very close to the try line as it is, or you think a couple of points should put the game beyond doubt.
		Grubber kicks are possibly the worst choice for kicks, as they are so unpredictable.

		If a penalty is awarded within goal kicking distance of a team's kicker, the team captain may elect to have the kicker take an uncontested place kick at goal for three points from a spot determined by the referee called a mark.
		After an unsuccessful penalty kick, play is usually restarted by a drop kick (a kick executed by allowing the ball to hit the ground before kicking it) to the kick attempting team from the 22 meter line.
		A free kick is just like a penalty kick except it cannot be taken directly at goal and if it goes to touch, the other team is awarded the ball for the lineout.

		A scrum is awarded when a player knocks-on (propelling the ball forward with the hand) or when the ball is carried or kicked over the sideline.
		Late in the tackle count, when the attacking side is more likely to kick or break the first line of defence, the wingers may also drop back slightly from the main line of defence.
		Rugby League, while a hugely popular professional and amateur sport in some regions of the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, has struggled to assert itself as an international sporting code particularly in the aftermath of the disastrous Super League war for control of the code in the mid 1990s.

		But, when a player receives a grubber and he forces it down in-goal, or when a bomb is caught in-goal, then a 20-metre tap restart is awarded.
		If the grubber kick is good enough to force the defense to scramble and bat the ball out, then a drop-out should be their reward.
		But, if the grubber is fielded and forced down in-goal, even though the defender would be tackled in-goal if he tried to make the field of play, then the kick wasn't good enough.

		Much will be made of the match officials’ failure to at least penalise Latham for clearly preventing Du Toit from chasing his kick ahead, but in truth the Springboks lost because of atrocious line-out play, a tight-head conceded at a crucial time, poor discipline and a tendency to become flustered under pressure.
		Next it was the pressure of the Springboks’ defence that created the opportunity as the Wallabies, trying to shuffle the ball on the blindside, watched in horror as De Villiers grabbed the interception to race to the other end of the field.
		It was looking good for the Boks but that mental application, which is taking so long to settle in, was again absent as they started to slip first-time tackles and become too easily isolated to allow the Wallabies to gain possession and regain their pattern of holding the ball.
