The football player punts the ball. The definition of a punt is a dropping of a ball to be kicked before it touches the ground. An example of a punt is a football player kicking the ball to his teammates. Punt is defined as to put an idea aside or to drop a football and kick it before it hits the ground.
A traditional river punt differs from many other types of wooden boat in that it has no keel, stem, or sternpost. Instead, it is built rather like a ladder with the main structure being two side panels connected by a series of 4 in (10 cm) cross planks, known as treads, spaced about 1 foot (30 cm) apart.
