Kicker Prep: Carmel Greyhounds' Summer Camp Focus
At Carmel Greyhounds' 6A summer camp, kickers are honing their skills with the 'Pinpoint Accuracy' drill. This drill targets precision and power, essential for game-day success. The setup: 10-yard line, 3 cones in a triangle formation. The kicker stands 5 yards back, focusing on the center cone. Coaches provide the following cues: 'Step into the ball,' 'Follow through,' and 'Hit the center.' The kicker executes 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest between sets. The drill emphasizes proper approach, alignment, and technique. This translates to game performance by enhancing kickers' ability to make clutch field goals and extra points. By the end of summer camp, Greyhounds' kickers will be ready to take on the toughest opponents in the state.
