Boost Kicking Game with Gaffney Indians-Approved Drill
📍 Gaffney Indians·Thursday, July 30, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Gaffney Indians' special teams coach, John Smith, swears by this drill to improve kickers' accuracy and power. The 'Target Practice' drill involves setting up 3-4 targets of varying distances (20-40 yards) on the field. Kicking players will perform 3 sets of 10 reps, alternating between kicking field goals and extra points. Coaching cues include: 'Follow through with your plant foot,' 'Keep your eyes on the target,' and 'Drive through the ball.' This drill translates to game performance by improving kickers' ability to focus on their target and maintain a consistent kicking motion. It also helps build mental toughness by simulating game-like pressure.
