The Kicking Coach 2024/25 kicking camps for high school and middle school athletes take place all year around in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, and Indiana. Kicker and punter private lessons for athletes of all ages are available in Chicago.
The Kicking Coach has been operating since 2007, coaching 500 to 600 kickers annually throughout the Midwest. Our goal is to give every kicker plenty of individual attention, and to teach them how to kick and train like successful college and NFL kickers.
At every kicking camp:
- We teach kickers and punters how to develop professional-level skills, and how to train effectively on their own.
- We evaluate athletes’ current skill level for potential and college scholarship referrals.
- We provide best coach to camper ratio in the kicking industry (1:7 or better), while working with every kicker on his personal skill development.

Austin Seibert signed with Commanders and immediately went on a tear in his first NFL game with them, going 7 for 7 on field goals and hitting a game winner. Austin has been part of The Kicking Coach since he was a high school freshman kicker. He embodies everything that we try to instill in our athletes – consistency in training and devotion to constant improvement. He celebrates his successes, but quickly goes back to focusing on the process, improving details, and staying on top of his game. In his post game interview, he talked about kicking at a pine tree in a lot next to his house. This is what excellence looks like. Once you know your goal and your method, keep things simple…you are trying to kick the ball far and straight…keep trying to hit it farther and straighter.
