Onside kick question...

Yes. If the ball is kicked in the air the receiving team has to have the opportunity to catch the ball. If the ball is kicked into the ground first and bounces in the air and then it’s live football. If you are referring to the on onside kick in the mountain Ridge Northern football game tonight that was the correct call. The ball was just kick straight in the air off of the tee And not the ground
No,... because you can kick it deep and still if you recover kicking team gets the ball. But, the receiving team can always fair catch the ball if someone onsides the ball and it doesn't hit the ground first.
The receiving team can fair catch, but no, I really don't think it has to touch the ground first.
I don’t think it has to touch the ground, but you can’t interfere with a fair catch
It must hit the ground first before kicking team can recover regardless of how deep you kick it past 10 yards
Rule 6-1-5 ...Any kicking team member may recover a free kick if it has both touched the ground and gone beyond the plane of R's free-kick line. The two requirements may occur in any order.
