What is a "clearance"?
A clearance is a defensive action in sports like soccer, hockey, or rugby, where a player kicks or hits the ball away from their own goal area to prevent the opposing team from scoring. This is typically done when the defense is under pressure and needs to move the ball out of a dangerous position. A clearance can be made by kicking, heading, or passing the ball to a teammate or downfield, aiming to gain space and control. It is an important move for relieving pressure on the defense.
