Onside kick
Onside kick is a term used in American football and Canadian football for a play on a kickoff in which the ball is kicked a shorter distance than usual in order for the team that kicked it to try to regain possession of the ball. Other benefits of kicking may be sacrificed to that end in an onside kick.
