Boosting Kicking Game: Brookfield Central Lancers' Summer Prep Drill
At Brookfield Central Lancers, 6A football powerhouses, special teams coach John Smith is focusing on precision and power for his kickers this summer. The 'Lancer Leg Day' drill is designed to improve accuracy and distance. Set up 3 targets: 30, 40, and 50 yards from the kicker. Players will perform 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest between sets. Coaching cues include: 'Step into the ball,' 'Follow through with your plant foot,' and 'Keep your eyes on the target.' This drill translates to game performance by increasing kicker confidence and consistency. By practicing under game-like conditions, Lancers' kickers will be prepared to make clutch kicks and secure field position. Start 'Lancer Leg Day' at your own summer camp to see improvement in your kickers.
