In American and Canadian football, an onside kick (sometimes onsides kick) is a type of kick used at a kickoff or other free kick, or scrimmage kick or other kick during play, in which the ball is kicked favorably for the kicking team to avoid giving away the ball. Other benefits of kicking may be sacrificed to that end in an onside kick.
