Elevate Your Explosiveness: Kicker Drill for AA Programs
📍 Monroe Woodbury Crusaders·Thursday, July 9, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At AA programs like Monroe Woodbury Crusaders, kickers need every edge to succeed. Introducing the 'Step-Up, Plant, Strike' drill, designed to improve power and accuracy. Set up a series of 3 cones, 5 yards apart, with a kicking target at the far end. Begin with 3 sets of 10 reps, focusing on proper technique. As you step up to the first cone, plant your non-kicking foot and strike the ball with your laces. Move to the next cone, repeating the process. Coaching cues: 'Step up tall, plant firm, strike with confidence.' This drill translates to game performance by building leg strength, improving balance, and developing a consistent striking motion. Incorporate this drill into your pre-season training to give your kickers a competitive edge.
