The Proper Form of Field Goal Kicking Linda Kabat, LoretaLappo, and Danny Colapietro
Step 1: Holding of the Ball • Measure the wind. • Frontal or head wind: front lean. • Rear wind: tilted towards the holder. • The laces should be pointed away from you.
Step 2: Taking Your Steps • Take 3 steps back from the holder. • Eyes on your target. • Look down at your feet and take 2 steps to the opposite side, depending on if you’re a right footed or left footed.
Step 3: The Approach • Again, focus on your target and once ready, give your holder the “ok.” • Once the ball is snapped, start your approach. • Jab step, front step, plant step, swing, and kick!
Step 4: Follow Through • Upon striking the ball, lock your ankle and strike with the top of your foot. • Eyes and head down and hop on your planted foot. • Once your kicking foot hits the ground, lift your head and watch the ball.
