The punt kick is a common style of kicking in football games. It is a kick where the ball is dropped from the players' hands and kicked before the ball hits the ground. It is used in many football codes. It is the primary means of moving the ball around in Australian rules football and is also used tactically in American and Canadian football, rugby league and rugby union. Goalkeepers in association football also execute punt kicks as an option for playing the ball up-field.
