Kicking into Gear: Lakeland Dreadnaughts' Kicker Prep Drill
📍 Lakeland Dreadnaughts·Saturday, July 4, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At 7A powerhouses like the Lakeland Dreadnaughts, precision is key for kickers. To build accuracy and power, we're sharing a summer camp drill that translates to game-day success. The 'Target Focus' drill involves 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest between sets. Players line up 40 yards from the goalpost, focusing on a spot 5 yards wide and 3 yards high. On each rep, they kick with eyes on the target, aiming for the center. Coaching cue: 'Keep your eyes on the prize, not the crossbar.' This drill builds mental focus and physical technique, essential for game-winning kicks. By practicing under pressure, kickers develop the confidence to execute in high-stakes situations, giving their team a competitive edge.
