Yes, I believe it is applicable for all levels.*

I learned about this during one HS practice 14 years ago. We never had the chance to use it, which is fortunate since no one knew what the hell was going on.

My understanding is that the free kick must be done off a fair catch. Otherwise, it works exactly like a regular kick-off with the exception that if it goes through the uprights, you get 3 points. I think if you miss, it is a turnover.

* EDIT: Apparently only NFL and High School
