Kicker Prep: 3-Set 'Pinpoint' Drill for AA Program Kickers
📍 Mandan Braves·Saturday, July 11, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Summer is the perfect time for kickers to hone their accuracy and build endurance. The 'Pinpoint' drill is a game-changer for AA program kickers like those at Mandan Braves. Set up three stations: 20-yard line, 30-yard line, and 40-yard line. At each station, set up five small targets (cones or small flags). Have the kicker stand 10 yards back from each target. For 3 sets of 10 reps, have the kicker kick to each target, focusing on pinpoint accuracy. Coaching cue: 'Drive through the ball, follow through, and hit the target.' This drill translates to game performance by improving kickers' ability to make clutch kicks from varying distances. It also builds mental toughness and focus under pressure.
