place kicks

Stationary ball boots

Place kicks are kicks in football where the ball is held stationary on the ground or a tee before being struck.

Field goals and extra points are place kicks, as opposed to punts or drop kicks.

The verb form describes executing such a kick: He place kicked the winning field goal from forty yards.
