Where can the holder place the ball during a kick?

The holder can place the ball during a kick on the ground or a legal tee. This rule ensures that the ball is in a stable and appropriate position for a successful kick. The use of a legal tee provides benefits by elevating the ball slightly, allowing the kicker to strike it with greater accuracy and efficiency.

Placing the ball on the sidelines, on the center’s back, or anywhere within 10 yards of the previous spot does not adhere to the established rules regarding the placement of the ball for kicks. The emphasis is on maintaining a consistent and safe method for kick execution, which is why ground placement or a legal tee is specified as the correct choice.
