Kind of kick in football (6)

I believe the answer is:

onside

(Other definitions for onside that I've seen before include "Legally positioned in game" , "in position to proceed?" , "In OK position to achieve goal" , "legitimate" , "Legally positioned on field" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
