  2. INTRODUCTION There are three types of kicks in the sport of football; punting, field goal kicking, and kick offs. The proper techniques for each type of kick is real easy for anyone to learn even if you are not a gifted football athlete.

  3. HOW TO PUNT • Stand 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage. • Catch the ball that the center snaps to you. • Hold the ball out in front of you horizontally with the laces pointing up. • Take two steps forward beginning with your kicking foot. • Drop the ball towards your kicking foot and kick the ball hard with the top of your foot. • Follow through with your kicking leg.

  4. HOW TO KICK A FIELD GOAL • Have a person kneel on the opposite side of the ball in which you are running. • Place the football with the laces pointing forward away from you standing straight on the ground. • The holder should place his index finger on the top of the ball gently applying pressure to hold it in place. • Take three steps back and two steps to the left or the right depending on your kicking leg. • Run up to the football starting with your non-kicking leg. • Plant your non-kicking leg about 1 foot to the side of the ball, kicking the football with your kicking leg angling your kick between the field goal.

  5. HOW TO DO A KICK OFF • Set a football on the tee angled slightly towards you. • Take three steps back and two steps to the left or the right depending on your kicking leg. • Run up to the football starting with your non-kicking leg. • Kick the football with your kicking leg angling your kick in the direction that you want the ball to travel.

  6. TIPS TO REMEMBER • Weather conditions effect the way you kick; (Rain, snow, wind, etc.) Versus a dome with a controlled environment. • Position kicking! Depending on where you are on the field depends on where you kick the football. • Learn how to block out distractions and handle game pressure. • Wear proper equipment. (cleats, pads, etc.)

  7. COMMON MISTAKES • Kicking with the point of their foot instead of the side. • Not stretching of exercising muscles before kicking. • Linemen not preventing defenders from blocking a punt or field goal attempt. • Kicking the ball out of bounds resulting in penalties.
