In 1978 Coach Nolan was the first kicking coach to offer true one on one private kicking and punting lessons and over the years has held large and small sized lessons so we will ensure you have not only an understanding of the fundamentals from a beginner’s standpoint, or are in need of taking your kicking craft to the next level.
If your goal is to take this on more seriously we can take your game to the next level based on our 40 plus years in assisting high school college and NFL kicking specialists.
The specialist part of the game is now more important than ever, and as we have said is a third of the game so to perform and train (not just get ranked). Knowing the proven techniques from the kicking game to the recruiting game (especially during the Pandemic) combined with our kicking and punting manuals are a valued part of success as a football specialist.
This is where we started and why others have jumped on the bandwagon so to speak. In this age of growing specialization; one on one instruction to kickers, punters, and long snappers is becoming more and more the norm. Our private lessons have been the most critical part of our company’s DNA to ensure that as a kicking and long snapping specialists you are getting the most out of your skills and for what we coined your Return On Instruction (ROI).
We were also the first kicking organization to provide video analysis and built the first Coaching On Demand software platform dedicated to the kicking specialists so as to quickly assess potential problem areas and fix them, based on what we see on the field so you can further become more successful.
Our camps are offered to provide deep instruction as well as informal competition amongst the kickers with charting contests and an eye-opening opportunity to witness some of our instructors we have worked with who have gone on to become high school and college All Americans, and have played in the NFL.
This provides the young specialists to hear and see from our instructors what their own journey was like and to watch and learn from others what it takes BOTH mentally and physically to succeed! Our small camps provide a great environment to learn, compete and practice with others in both non-game and game situations.
These camps by design will never have more than 20 kicking specialists at our quarterly instruction camps and our ratio of instructor to camper at these camps is 4 campers to each 1 certified Kickers Zone instructor. Over an 8-hour period a kicking specialist will receive 6 hours of training, and 1 hour of competition (with an hour break for lunch). During some of our lunch breaks we'll also hold "recruiting" issues where we bring in some of our former kickers parents in a great Q&A session!
Our staff includes Durant Brooks (2007 Ray Guy Award) Collin Barber UGA Punter, and Marshall Morgan UGA kicker who were all trained by coach Nolan, and have themselves become great kicking/punting instructors.

Computer/Laptop
Internet connection
Windows® 7 64 bit

Sound card
One Firewire (IEEE 1394) card or Firewire port for laptop
2.2MHz Core 2 Duo or greater
4 GB RAM
Graphics card
320 GB free hard disk space (for the video files)
A 19” or 22” monitor with at least 1024 vertical pixels (eg 1280 x 1024 or
1680 x 1050). Higher resolutions may make the text and buttons too small.
Camcorders
Depending on your needs there are 2 ways to capture video into your computer. One is a ‘live’ feed where whatever the camera is looking at is also shown in the software. The other is to capture files onto the camera’s hard drive and then download them to the computer at a later time.
With the increasing scarcity of MiniDV camcorders around the world, the ‘live feed over Firewire’ option is becoming less available so we have had to alter the way users can get live video feeds into our software. Unfortunately the USB cables that come with the camcorders only allow you to download files, they do not provide a live video feed.
Our new USB method uses the live AV output from the camcorder and a Hauppauge AV to USB converter. This dramatically increases the number of cameras you can plug into your computer and get a ‘live’ feed from.
Option 1 (where available)
Entry level mini DV camera with IEEE 1394 out
Or
Option 2
HD Handy Cam and USB to DV Converter
Ensure the Handy Cam has an analogue video stream which will then be converted to DV via the USB to DV converter. We recommend the Panasonic SDR-H85 SD/HDD Video Camera (or similar model) http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Standard-Definition-Camcorders/model.SDR-H85K_11002_7000000000000005702 and a Haupauge USB Live 2 http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_usblive2.html
If you don’t have one yet you can buy the Hauppauge USB2‐Live from: www.dell.com (search for ‘USB‐Live2’)
