In other words, if a kicker kicks the ball from the 20 yard line (though this is not to say the line of scrimmage is the 20, but the point of the kick), how many yards would the field goal be counted as?

Field goals are measured from the spot of the kick. In your example of the 20 yard line being the spot of the kick, it would be a 30 yard field goal, since the line of scrimmage would be the 13, plus 7 yards for the snap back to the 20, plus the goalposts being on the endline of a 10 yard endzone. 13+10+7 = 30.

it would be a 37 yard kick... end zone is 10yards and the holder sets up 7 yards from line of scrimage.. so just add 17 yards and you will have the length the field goal is. what your saying though itwould be a 30 yard kick because if the kicker kicked from the 20 the line of scrimage would be the 13..

You add up the yardage to the goal line and add 10 from end zone to the back of the endzone. If the ball is on the 20 yard line it is a 30 yard FG.

30 yard kick. Read the question, the kicker kicks the ball from the 20 yard line, that means 20 yards to the endzone, and then 10 yards to the field goal post in the back of the endzone.

A punt is a regular play. It is the same as a pass or a run. A field goal is an attempt to score and several of the rules are different.

Whatever you do don't quit. Show the coach that you're real into it and will do whatever it takes to get play time. You may not get much play time at first, but if you show the coach that you're willing to work harder than anyone else, he should like your attitude. Until then i suggest you work out everyday, rotating between upper body one day and the lower body the other day, stretching every day. Also, you should get a bunch of friends and play football with them (make sure you get lots of carries and catches for practice) as often as you can. Start following watching athletes who can inspire people of your size, such as Maurice Jones-Drew or Steve Smith. They show that size doesn't always matter. Good Luck!

it would be a 37 yard FG. You add 17 yards from the line of scrimmage. 10 for the end zone, and 7 for were the kicker stands or something like that

38 yards. Line of scrimmare + 10 yards for endzone + 8 yards for snap/holder position.
7 is wrong, the holder is at 8 yards from the line of scrimmage.
