The kicker can onside kick the ball so his team can get the ball back. usually you do an onside kick when your team is down by a little bit and there is not much time left in the game. the kicker has to know the people around him so he knows who is fast enough to get to the ball before the other team. the ball has to go 10 yards before you can get the ball back. if pick up the ball before it goes 10 yards then the other team gets the ball. the kicker can also kick the ball as far as he can so he can try to get the other team down after they get the ball.
