Iowa Kicking Camp
April 2026 (date will be posted in October of 2025)
Cornell College, Mount Vernon, IA
Kicking camp location at Cornell College Stadium and assistant coach Tyler Perkins of Iowa State.
- Iowa kicking camp age range is 12 to 19. Most kickers are in 14 to 16 age group.
- At our kicking camps, all athletes:
1) learn NFL-level kicking skills
2) learn how to train like a professional kicker
3) get evaluated
- Skills taught: Effective mechanics for kicking Field Goals, Kickoffs, and Punts.
- This is a one day skill-building and evaluation kicking camp for kickers and kicker/punter combos who are looking to get the most out of the off-season.
- College Prospect Evaluation. Sophomore, junior and senior kickers and punters will have an opportunity to get evaluated for college referrals. Every athlete goes through a standardized age-appropriate evaluation test.
- At Iowa Kicking Camp and every kicking camp that we host, 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.
- This full day event is for kickers and kicker/punter combo athletes. Punters only should not register.
- Over the years, Iowa Kicking Camp campers had an opportunity to train with NFL specialists and many college kickers from Iowa, Iowa State, South Dakota, Northern Iowa, and Drake.
YOU WILL LEARN:
- What exercises and drills NFL kickers use that you should be doing
- How to increase leg strength and train all year around
- What you need to do to get seen by college coaches
- How you compare with other kickers in your class
- How to kick well under pressure
