Purpose
The purpose of a quick kick is the same as that for all punting, but with additional hope of:
- preventing a runback (return) of the ball by the opponents,
- additional distance by the ball's bouncing or rolling instead of being fielded by an opponent, and
- (where legal) recovery and retained possession of the ball by the kicking team.
