Special teams include a kickoff team, a kick return team, a punting team, a punt return team, a field goal team and a team to defend on field goal attempts.

Some players may perform different roles on different teams.

Specialteams co-captain Sean Morey said that kicking off out of bounds also has been suggested, although he did not say by whom.
THE police have established a special investigative team to track cop killers as part of its response to the recent spate of murders of police officers, it emerged yesterday.
The police have stepped up patrols putting more members of the constabulary on the streets as part of a wider crime-fighting effort, and according to the official statement on Friday's meeting, Forbes stressed that the constabulary remained resolute "in both tracking down killers of their colleagues and in protecting the public".
There was no specifics on the operation of the special investigative team who was at its helm and senior officials were unavailable last night to clarify these issues.
