What We Offer
We offer year-round coaching and instruction on all the major aspects of Special Teams: Kicking, Punting, Snapping, and Kick/Punt Returning. Our goal is to use our experience and training to help you reach your potential and become a premier kicker and/or punter, and even snapper. All instructors are former kickers, punters, & snappers who have competed at the highest level of Football as an NFL kicker/punter, Free Agent, Division 1 athlete or Minor League Football player.
At Special Teams Football Academy, we offer one-on-one, small group clinics, regional Kicking, Punting, Snapping camps, and NCS Charting Evaluation Camps. Lessons include everything from warm-ups and stretching to a variety of kicking and punting drills, instruction on kicking strategy to help you to be the best that you can be. We will provide evaluation, competition, "game on the line" mental exercises and filming sessions where you can see yourself on film as we coach you through the drills.
We are also partnered up with National Camp Series so that you can have the chance to be rated and exposed to ALL COLLEGE PROGRAMS!! Through regional competitions, you will be given the exposure to see how you compare nationally to your peers as well as position yourself for a scholarship at a college or university as a kicker or punter.
Kicking & Punting
In the game of football, a lot of focus is put into the offensive and defensive schemes to try to win a game. Often times the importance of the kicking game (special teams) can be overlooked or at times ignored. If you ask any winning coach, they will tell you that kicking and punting is an essential part of the game of football.
Winning programs understand the importance of consistent and reliable punting and kicking. There are too many games that are won or lost within a small point margin. The ability to punt and pin a defense deep in their own territory, as an offensive threat, can be a huge part of winning games. Like a snap, a muffed punt or missed extra point/field goal can be the difference between a win or loss. We will teach you how to kick a football, how to punt a football.
Snapping
Snapping is a critical element that brings a special teams group together. Many times the snapping element is overlooked and not practiced enough, but yet are very critical to making everything happen in sync. Our experienced staff will teach you what it takes to succeed!
Kick/Punt Returning
In 2011, we added one of the top kick/punt returning coaches in the Mid-West to our staff in Coach Riza Mahmoud. Here we can HELP YOU learn some techniques and skills that are needed to be an elusive returner on your team and in your league. Often times being a returner gives you that opportunity to play in the Varsity Games or get on the field. Let us HELP YOU earn that spot as a return and even be the best you can be in your league!
Holding
Not only do we offer our expert services to kickers, punters, long snappers and returners, we also work with athletes who would like to learn how to hold. Holding is an extremely important part of the kicking game, without a holder that knows what they are doing, a great kicker becomes an average, or even a poor kicker. Knowing how to hold can even give you the chance at more playing time on the field. Lessons on Holding can be given at any 1 on 1 and group lessons/ camps.
