Illinois Kicking Camp & Prospect Evaluation Event
January 20th 2025 – MLK Day
8 AM to 2 PM
Rockford, Illinois
Illinois Kicking Camp – Chicago is taking place at Rockford Mercyhealth Sportscore – enormous, state-of-the-art, indoor facility.
-
Recommended camper age: 12 to 19. Majority of athletes are between 14 and 16 years old.
-
Illinois Kicking Camp is a skills development and evaluation event for kickers and punters, who are looking to start preparing for the next football season. We will spend majority of the camp on field goals and kickoffs. We will cover punting technique, go through punting drills and off-season preparation.
-
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.
-
High school seniors will learn how to kick field goals off the ground, and get final/ last chance evaluation for college referrals. “Late bloomer” kickers get overlooked because most colleges have their lists of high school prospects finalized prior to the start of kicker’s senior season. If you got pretty good toward the end of your high school career, we need to know how good you are and if you are looking to kick in college.
-
At every kicking camp, our top priority is to teach kickers and punters how to train and improve while kicking on their own. There are no kicking coaches on middle school, high school, or college football teams. When your high school coach gives you couple footballs and tells you to “go practice”, you need to know… How to kick? How much to kick? How often to kick? What to tell your snapper and holder? How to make adjustments for different conditions? Etc.
