Definition
A short kickoff in football where the kicking team attempts to retain possession by kicking the ball just far enough (10 yards) to legally recover it themselves. It's a high-risk strategy typically used when trailing late in games.
Etymology
From 'onside' meaning legally positioned (opposite of 'offside' from soccer) and 'kick'. The strategy emerged in early football but was refined in the 1960s-70s as teams sought creative ways to maintain possession.
Kelly Says
The onside kick is football's ultimate Hail Mary play - it works only about 20% of the time, but when it does, it can completely flip the momentum of a game in the final minutes!
