— Chicago Kicking Camp – July 20th 2025

Kicker Specific workout sample lead by former college kicker, certified strength coach Danny Cola.

NFL Kicker Austin Seibert explains how to break in the kicking shoe properly

• Kicking camp is recommended for athletes of ages 12 to 19. Majority of kickers are in 14 to 17 age range.
• At the Chicago kicking camp, kickers will:

1. learn the NFL-level skills

2. learn how professional kickers train

3. get evaluated

• The Kicking Coach is based out of Chicago. We host 3 annual full day kicking camps in the area (January, June, July), many small group training sessions and work with athletes in one on one setting.
• Skills taught at the camp: Field Goals, Kickoffs, Punts. We teach the most efficient techniques that are used by NFL and top college kickers while allowing room for individual nuances.
• Camper skill level varies from the first time kickers to more experienced kickers with several years of camp and playing experience. We meet kickers at the skill level where they are.
• College Prospect Evaluation: We evaluate athletes for college referrals. Athletes will complete our standardized testing workout. Statistics and observations from the evaluation are used for college referrals.
• We teach execution of game kicks – directional kickoffs, onside kicks, coffin corner punts, hurried punts, kicking field goals in bad weather, etc.
• Parents are welcome to stay and observe instruction and evaluation.
