Iowa Kicking Camp
April 27th 2025
Cornell College, Mount Vernon, IA
- Preferred camper age: 12 to 19. Most athletes are in 14-16 year age group.
- At all of our kicking camps, athletes:
1) learn the skills
2) learn the training methods
3) receive subjective and objective evaluation of their current kicking abilities
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
