Hello,
I suggest you to consult a doctor right away and get a physical examination and ultrasound testis done. Kicking in the groins can cause hematoma formation inside the testicles and sometimes rupture testis even. This has to be managed immediately and is considered an emergency.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
