drop kicks

Release-and-kick plays

Drop kicks are kicks where the ball is dropped to the ground and struck just as it bounces.

In rugby, a drop kick restarts play or scores points.

In American football, it's a rarely used method for field goals and extra points.

In professional wrestling, a drop kick is a jumping kick where both feet strike the opponent while the wrestler is airborne.
