Boosting Kicking Game for 3A Programs: The 'Kicking Tee Toss' Drill
For Soldotna Stars and other 3A programs looking to elevate their kicking game, we've got a drill that's sure to pay dividends. The 'Kicking Tee Toss' drill is a simple yet effective way to improve kicking accuracy and power. Here's how to run it: Set up 3-4 kicking tees 10 yards apart. Players will start at the 20-yard line and attempt to kick the ball through the uprights from each tee. The twist? Each tee will be placed at a slightly different angle, requiring players to adjust their kicking technique on the fly. Coaches should focus on proper footwork and body alignment, cueing players to 'keep their eyes on the target' and 'follow through with their kicking leg.' By incorporating this drill into their pre-season training, Soldotna Stars can expect improved kicking accuracy and game-changing field position.
