A pant (knocking the ball out of hand) is a technique in American and Canadian football in which a soccer ball is knocked along the field towards half of the opposing team in the hope of giving the receiving team a more advantageous position when possession of the ball passes to the opponent - therefore, a successful panther must kick the ball into the field as far as possible, while keeping the ball within the field. In contrast, a punt, according to Australian football rules, is an accurate shot in the field, usually in the hands of a player on his team. Whether you play American, Canadian or Australian football, the pant techniques are very similar. If you want to know how pant is executed, follow the next steps.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Doing Pant

1. 1 Hold the ball in front of you with the laces pointing up. Take it with your dominant hand, as if about to shake his hand, holding it firmly between your thumb and the rest of your fingers. While tossing the ball, extend your dominant hand in front of you as far as possible while continuing to hold the ball horizontally with the laces pointing up.
   • Point the nose of the ball slightly in the opposite direction of your dominant hand (if you are right-handed, point it slightly to the left).
2. 2 Take two steps forward. Take a controlled open stance with your feet about 0.3 meters apart, one foot about 10 cm in front of the other. It doesn't matter which leg is in front. Once you have positioned your legs, you will need to take two steps forward - the first with your kicking foot, the second with your other foot - so that you get some momentum while keeping your kicking leg behind the other foot.
   • Your steps forward should be smooth and controlled. You don't have to walk or run in the direction of the ball; instead, approach it at a fast pace.
   • Take two normal sized steps. Intermittent or long steps will make it harder for you to punt the ball.
3. 3 Kick the ball right after you drop it. The ball has to be dropped parallel to the ground so you kick it in the right direction. Kick your foot forward and drop the ball at the same time so that you kick the ball as late as you can, so you’re almost kicking it out of your fingers without actually making contact with your hand. Kick your foot straight up so that it hits the ball dead on, instead of kicking it across your body, as many people have a tendency to do.
4. 4 Kick the ball right after you toss it. Toss the ball parallel to the ground to hit it in the correct direction. Kick and toss the ball at the same time so that you hit the ball as late as possible, practically without touching your hand. Kick straight up to hit the ball accurately, do not kick across your body, this is a common mistake.
   • Your toes should point forward and you should hit the ball with the kick of your kicking foot.
   • Move your dominant hand to the side and raise your other hand in the air to help guide the ball to the end and accelerate it.
   • The leg should make contact with the ball at knee height.
5. 5 Continue. Complete the kick motion by throwing your leg as high as possible to maximize the height and speed of the ball. When you're done hitting, lower your foot back to the ground. After that, you can watch in awe as the ball flies over the field.

Method 2 of 2: Doing Pant. During the game

1. 1 Stand 15 yards behind the scrum line.
2. 2 Shout "March!"or" Hike! "when you're ready to play. This will tell the center player that you are ready to throw the ball to you.
3. 3 Catch the ball. If you want to punt, you must catch the ball without letting it fall to the ground. If you don't catch the ball, or you catch and lose, you will not have the opportunity to punt.
4. 4 Get ready to perform pant. Once you have caught the ball, be prepared to take two steps forward and hit it forward using the lift of your dominant leg.

Tips

• Practice and develop your leg strength through gym / cycling / running and other sports activities.
• Also, make sure you are pointing the football a little to the left so your ankle doesn’t hit the ball.
• Also, steer the ball slightly to the left to avoid hitting the ball with your ankle.
