The defence.
This occurs when the opposing team is in position of the ball and is moving toward the defending try line from anywhere on the pitch. Defence is setup to stop progression and turn the ball over to allow defense plays to then attack. A defence can also occur when the team having possession of the ball is close to their own try line and will need to move away to reduce the chances of the attacking team gaining possession

Possession means to have the ball.
During active play it is possible that no one has possession. In that case, the first player to get to the ball now has possession.
You can touch the base with the ball if you want to. Any part of the fielder's body can touch a base as long as he has possession of the ball.
if you have the ball in your possession then your on offense if not your on defense
re possession is when you catch the ball , then drop it and then catch it again, or if you are running after the ball and hit it down with your hand to bounce it and then catch it again.
By definition, a ball "in the air" is a loose ball, and therefore no one has possession. However, depending upon the circumstances, it's possible that only one team has the right to gain possession (for example, a punted ball).
Whats the genre for summer Ball
No, the kicking team would need to gain possession of the ball. For kickoffs, the ball is considered a 'free ball' once it travels 10 yards from the spot of the kick. The ball is also considered 'free' if a member of the receiving team touches it, but does not gain full possession, before it travels 10 yards from the spot of the kick. The first team whose player gains possession of the ball is awarded the ball. Touching the ball does not signify possession ... a player must have full possession of the ball for his team to be awarded possession. A lot of 'possessions' in that last statement but that is the qualifier as to which team is awarded the ball. Touching the ball means nothing, possessing the ball means everything.
