Coach Brent is simply awesome. He’s a great guy to work with and knows all the facets of the kicking game. He is reliable and knows how to take you to the next level. I always looked forward to training with Brent, he made kicking and punting exciting and always had productive drills to improve my skills. Start training with Kicking World now if kicking in high school or college is one of your goals!

Thank you very much for a great camp! Matt’s kicking skills have quickly developed with your camp and you were the first to give him lessons and I do believe you have sparked him on. He has a tremendous work ethic and is excited to implement all he learned. When Matt returned home from the Dallas Camp on Sunday night, he wanted to go kick more, even in the mud and rain! We appreciate the web-presence and marketing exposure from your site and you truly helped to discover and develop another D1 kicker!

Coach Brent, I wanted to send you some unsolicited feedback on my son Bryce’s progress since attending your College training camp this summer in Austin, Texas. I am an ex-kicker myself having played all through College and a few preseason games with the Atlanta Falcons years ago.

As a father, it’s sometimes hard to ‘coach’ your own son as they don’t always appreciate what we tell them (LOL). He’s had an issue with getting power and height on the ball since switching to kicking off the ground.

Your instruction and analysis has literally changed him as a kicker. You and Coach Mike adjusted his foot position at impact and it’s made a world of difference. He now routinely boots 50 yarders with ease since returning home as you can see in the before/after vid. Thanks so much for what you do with these kids… and mine in particular.

The level of instruction is so personal, and everything they do has a purpose. Kicking World has been one of the core elements in getting me into college. Every single college that I had visits to and got offered scholarships from mentioned Kicking World as the main contact. The networks that Kicking World has is outstanding.

I can honestly say that Coach Brent developed me into a Division 1 kicker on the field and then used his connections to ensure I was recruited. After attending my first camp, I knew something was different about Brent and his staff.

First, they know how to coach kicking and punting at the highest level, as the level of instruction is beyond incredible. Kicking World knows how to scale the coaching to the level of the athlete, which means that anyone from a middle schooler to a college/NFL athlete can benefit from Kicking World.

Besides the football aspects of Kicking World, Brent and his coaches sincerely care about each individual person. Brent, Jesse and the staff routinely ask about your family and other personal details, and Brent leads camps in a professional, personable, and fun manner. This results in Kicking World knowing each student by their name and their story, instead of just another camper at a massive event.

I hope the younger kickers come across your account and see how Kicking World actually cares about your development as a kicker/punter. It means a lot to me that you take the time to message with me and you helped me at the camps and the private lesson you were in town. I really appreciate it! Thanks to you and the staff for helping turn me into a college kicker and punter!

Brent, I just wanted to thank you and your staff for a very organized and impactful Kicking World Showcase. Manny got a lot from the experience and was humbled to be around some very solid kickers.

He and I also enjoyed the classroom portion from the Sport Psychologist and the portion you did on scholarships and recruiting. All very important information that these kids needed to hear (from someone other than their parent).

Manny couldn’t stop talking about his experience. We plan to attend camp again this summer!

Coach Grablachoff worked as our kicking coach during our 13-0 undefeated 2008 season at Laguna Hills HS. We won the Pacific Coast League championship and a Southern Section CIF championship. Coach G. did an outstanding job working with our kickers throughout the season. His expertise and his ability to pay attention to detail greatly helped our kickers throughout the season. They kicked with great confidence and that was also due to the fact that Coach G. had a great player/coach relationship. His practice plans for kickers were very thorough, well planned and organized. Coach G. and his kickers certainly enabled us to have an advantage with our special teams each week during our undefeated run. In my opinion, Coach Grablachoff is one of the best kicking coaches in CA.

I have worked with Brent for 3 years and I will tell you he is a great kicking coach. He has a vast amount of knowledge and knows how to implement it to his kickers and punters and get results. Our kickers learned essential fundamentals, drills and developed a routine that they use almost every day. His ideas and advice are great and have been extremely helpful to our football program. Brent is one of the few coaches that truly understand the total kicking game.

Great experience at Kicking World’s 2-day camp in DFW this past weekend. The coaching staff was very professional and provided outstanding technical training for punting, kickoffs, and field goals. The lessons learned at the camp can be carried over to the student’s personal practice time and will take their skills to the next level. Coach Brent gave an excellent talk on recruiting during the camp. The insights provided by Brent are great tools that can be implemented for students that aspire to make the transition from high school to college. The camp was run very efficiently. An agenda was provided several days before the camp, and it was followed flawlessly. I can’t speak enough about the professionalism exhibited throughout both days of the camp. This is money well spent for any kicker looking to improve their skills and get a roadmap to the next level if they are willing to put in the effort required. My only regret is not sending my son to camp sooner.

Coach Brent and his staff are incredibly knowledgable and pay great attention to detail. They are also extremely personable and down to earth. They teach perfection and it is infectious to everyone who attends their camps. I would highly recommend attending a Kicking World event.

I went to Coach Brent’s camp going into 9th grade and I did private instruction with him and I came back again the last 2 years because of how much instruction I received. The camp taught me how to relax, stay focused and follow-through straight… I have since been training with him every year through high school. I would recommend a Kicking World camp or private lessons with Brent to anyone who’s trying to become more consistent and wants to better their skills as a kicker.”

After the first game of his 8th grade season this week he went 5 for 5 on PATs and averaged 53 yards on 6 kickoffs!

If there is anything that I can do for you or Kicking World please let me know. Thanks again.

I wanted to thank you for working with my kicker, Ryan. Here in Texas football is king! Ryan is in his freshman year and was good enough to be our starting kicker on varsity. As a result of attending your camp he was making better contact with the ball and he was much more accurate and consistent. He also learned the pop up onside kick which gave our kicking team an edge over our opponents. Ryan’s confidence is through the roof! He believes that he’s going to make every kick he attempts. At the conclusion of our 2011/2012 football season, Ryan was voted 1st team All-District by all the coaches in our district!!! That’s a huge honor and he did it as a freshman with help from you. I would recommend Kicking World kicking camps to anyone wanting to improve.

Our experience with Coach Brent Grablachoff has been great. Our son, Tanner has taken private lessons, attended camp and most recently flew to Austin for the Texas Kicking Experience. Coach Brent’s close attention to detail, the teaching of mechanics, kicking drills and the mental game of kicking has taken Tanner to the next level. During our Texas visit, Coach Brent was sure to have a backup plan for the inclement weather during our visit; much appreciated. When Coach Brent knew we would be visiting a college campus, he helped arrange a meeting with the football coach and recruiting department of that college; and it was an amazing visit! Our overall experience with Kicking World has been phenomenal, not only for Tanner but for us, Tanner’s parents (Thank You, Coach Brent). If you are looking to increase your kicking/punting skills, Kicking World is the place to go.

Hi Coach Brent, I just wanted to send a short email to you thank you for a great camp in NJ last weekend. I have been kicking since 7th grade but I really started getting serious about it this year, so going into this summer I knew I wanted to go to a camp and I’m glad I chose Kicking World. You and the rest of the Kicking World team organized a great camp where I learned a lot and improved as a kicker. I appreciate all the hard work and time you put into making the weekend such a success.

He clearly enjoyed his time with everyone at Kicking World and learned a lot which opened up his eyes to see he might have a future in kicking. He was very enthusiastic throughout the weekend and excited with what he accomplished – kicking his first 30-yard field goal and only being in 6th grade.

My husband and I want to thank you for the two wonderful camps our grandson Makani’olu attended in Orange County and San Diego, CA this year. We came all the way from Hawaii and Makani learned a lot and enjoyed both events. He made a lot of new friends and learned a ton of fundamentals to help him as he begins high school next year. You and your coaches were exceptional and shared so much of your/their knowledge and experience with the boys.

We even met some of the other families in the stands throughout camp and exchanged contact info so we could hopefully practice together back in Hawaii. What we liked most about the camp is the 1 on 1 instruction with each of the students. The individualized attention sure makes a difference which allows the teens to better apply all they learned at your camp. Thank you again, and we hope that one day you can bring Kicking World to Hawaii.

I’m a junior and it’s my first year kicking but I’ve improved a lot since the camp. My form is comfortable now and I’m kicking great.

He loves your coaching style and how approachable you are. You made him better after only one day. Other coaches don’t give the young kids attention, only the juniors and seniors. Even though Cole is not yet in high school, you treated him like every other kid at your camp and it was appreciated. We are lucky to have found you and look forward to working with you over the years!

If you are looking for a kicking coach, Coach Brent is the guy. He loves coaching kickers and that comes across in every interaction I have ever had with him. He is absolutely driven to help his students succeed. My son, Michael Sims, was a soccer player forever and a goal keeper for 6 years. Michael attended a Kicking World kicking camp in San Diego and I was immediately impressed with how Coach Brent broke down the technical aspects of kicking a football, communicated that information and made sure his students understood. Plus, all of the boys at that camp were having fun while learning. Corrections were made in a positive and constructive manner that was well received by the students. Michael eventually made the football team and he was able to hit the end zone on kickoffs but was inconsistent. We called Coach Brent and within a couple of lessons Michael was consistently into the end zone on kickoffs and by the end of his junior year was the starter for kickoffs and field goals and PATs. Michael continued to work with Coach Brent during the offseason adding height and distance to his kickoffs and field goals. As a senior Michael was 34 for 34 on PATs, 5 for 7 on field goals including a 48 yard game winner, and had a 65.2 average kickoff yardage. Dozens of colleges from all over the country have contacted Michael and he is now in the process of deciding where to spend the next four years. The fact that he will play football in college is amazing to me since Michael had never even played football prior to the 4th game of his junior year season. I can’t say enough about Coach Brent’s part in Michael’s development and success and the opportunities he now has. It simply would not have happened without Coach Brent.

Before getting in contact with Coach Brent, I was primarily a punter who also handled the kicking responsibilities for my college team. When I started working with Coach Brent, I noticed an immediate improvement in both my accuracy and power, and more importantly, my consistency. I went from being a mediocre NCAA division III place-kicker to an All-American and set most of the University of Chicago Kicking and Punting records with the help and guidance of Coach Brent and Kicking World. I highly recommend him to all kickers at any level who are looking to take the next step in becoming elite kickers or punters.

Kicking World is the best camp in the country for breaking down your technique and helping you reach your full potential. I attended Coach Brent’s kicking camp in 2012 not really knowing the proper way to kick a football and made most of my kicks from raw natural talent. Since that initial camp; Coach Brent has worked with me and got my technique a lot better. I came back to his 2013 Austin TX camp and improved so much that I won all 3 phases of the kicking competition! A lot of camps just tell you what you’re doing wrong but Coach Brent and his staff do a great job about not only telling you what you’re doing wrong but how to improve according to your own style of kicking. Coach Brent is a great guy and he really knows what he’s doing. I recommend Kicking World to anyone who wants to get better. Kicking World is the way to go!

After learning about Kicking World and viewing its website, I was impressed by Coach Brent’s analytical approach to Place Kicking, especially his explanation of how leg speed can be more a factor in obtaining field goal distance rather than leg strength. My son, Shimon is still a High School sophomore and building leg strength can be a gradual process, but once he understood that the force of the football carries its distance, and how leg speed has an exponential effect on force ( force = mass x velocity squared ), his place kicking took on a whole new form. Shimon came to Kicking World in July ’10 with a field goal range of 40 yards, and after 3 1/2 months of very personalized training with Coach Brent, he has been able to increase his range to 55 yards. WOW, what an improvement! Coach Brent’s focus on highly personalized instruction combined with a good understanding of the mechanics behind proper kicking form can really accelerate the learning curve of youth kickers. Working with Coach Brent has been a very rewarding experience for both me and my son.

My son started kicking after his freshman season in high school. At the start, he made only two extra points in one hundred attempts. That’s when we were pointed to Coach Brent. Eighteen months later, at the end of his sophomore year, Dylan has kicked 40 extra points in 40 attempts and been successful on field goals from as far out as 47 yards. There are three reasons for this amazing improvement: Consistent practice, Work in the weight room, and the teaching of Brent Grablachoff.

When my son, a former soccer player, had a try out for the Varsity place kicker position coming up in just 2 short weeks I needed to find a good coach & fast! I found Brent Grablachoff of Kicking World on Google and he is an outstanding coach. He is very personable as well as professional. Brent responded quickly to my email & was able to fit Donald into his schedule the very next Sunday. Student/coach rapport is so important and that was rapidly established. Brent’s expertise and ability to break down the proper technique into “doable” segments was amazing! I couldn’t believe how much improvement my son made in his first two 45 minute lessons. Donald was able to not only make Varsity but become the starting kicker! Brent used video during the lesson to show my son how to make small adjustments (a little turn of the shoulder, a step that was a little short, etc.) that made a huge difference in the overall height & distance on his field goals and PATs almost immediately. I don’t think you will find a better coach in Southern California. My son loves training with Coach Brent & we both highly recommend him!

Brent runs one of the best kicking camps in Southern California. He teaches great techniques to become a better kicker and learn what it takes to have the correct discipline to be a “dead-on” kicker. He has a fantastic rapport with the players and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to become a more disciplined and accurate kicker.

My 11 year old son Tate found Kicking World online as we were looking for some instruction on his kicking game. We struck gold! We drove to Toms River, NJ from Northport, NY to participate in the Kicking World one-day Youth Camp. It was totally worth it! Coach Brent has the great ability to break down the components of a kick, showing it by step by step actions that are easy to learn, which leads to more consistent kicks. Most importantly, he was able to show each student what they did wrong when the kick was off so that they could learn how to correct and improve. We purchased his Kicking DVD and Tate watched it the next day and is already out practicing in the backyard with his kicking net. He can’t wait until next year and is excited to get 1 on 1 lessons and continue to work on his game. Well done by Coach Brent and Coach Jesse! Worth every penny!

As a former college soccer coach, I tend to be very observant of and often critical of the teaching style of other coaches. After reading some of the testimonials on the Kicking World website, I decided to enroll my son Robinson, who was making his first transition into football after ten years of playing soccer, in a two day camp. From the opening minutes of the camp, I was incredibly impressed with Coach Brent’s teaching style. First, his passion and enthusiasm for the sport was apparent from the minute we got there. Second, as a former player, he had the ability to demonstrate the technique he wanted the kids to achieve. His teaching wasn’t just theoretical – it was something they could see for themselves. Finally, and most importantly, he has a gift for breaking down complex techniques into simple components that the players can master. He provides exercises that build on each other to create a solid technical foundation for the players. His attention to detail assured that each player received good corrections in his technique. Coupled with his use of video analysis, even an accomplished kicker could walk away from the camp having learned something new or discovered a flaw that they could correct and enhance their performance. My son has been to two Kicking World Camps so far, and we’ll be back again. I highly recommend Kicking World for both experienced and rookie kickers!

He learned so much about the proper kicking form, as well as establishing a plan of attack toward his kicking improvement. Thanks for your guidance and patience in working with him. You provided a relaxing, yet motivational experience. Both Erick & I hope to see you in future camps. Good luck & thanks.

I brought Joseph down to San Diego to see Coach Brent from Kicking World. I saw much improvement out of Joseph within the first 10 minutes. He achieved longer distance, more accuracy and a lot better hang-time on his field goals, kickoffs and punts. I highly recommend Coach Brent to anyone who is thinking about kicking or punting in college or even going pro. I highly recommend him, he’s a good coach and he helped us out a lot. Thank You!

I had the privilege to work with Coach Brent in the late summer of 2010 and I owe my success to him. Coach Brent came out to Hawaii and was able to adjust my approach, follow-through, and add accuracy and distance to my kicks; even with the heavy swirling wind! Coach cleaned up my field goal kick, showed me the proper way to kick a kickoff and even helped me learn how to kick the pop-up onside kick. Coach Brent is a veteran kicker and teacher that was able to coach me efficiently and I quickly learned and applied what he taught me. I had a very efficient first year as a varsity kicker, and I greatly look forward to my senior season. Mahalo to Coach Brent Grablachoff for his assistance!

Hey Brent, Noah had a great year thanks to your Austin kicking camp and private lessons while you were in town. As a Freshman, Noah was the Varsity PAT kicker. He scored 134 points, making him the highest overall point earner not only on his team but in the entire league! According to Max Preps, he is ranked 27th in the state of Texas and 60th nationally. He was awarded First team All-District Offense-Kicker and All-State Honorable Mention Offense- Kicker. You were able to make a Noah a confident & consistent kicker and a valuable asset to his team. Many kicking camps approached Noah for this summer but he wanted to return to Kicking World. See you in June!

Our son AJ Merlino is off to the University of Utah in the fall. AJ played four years of high school football and two years at the JC level. After working with Coach Ian Smetona his last year on long snapping, AJ got a preferred walk on for the Utah Utes. AJ is looking forward to snapping this year in the Pac 12 thanks to Coach Ian. Ian’s attention to the small nuances of AJ’s snapping and techniques has earned him a .70 second long snapping time with pinpoint accuracy. We would highly recommend Coach Ian to anyone looking to make a career of long snapping, be it to fine tune and improve, or even just starting out. Ian’s ability to assess the fundamentals needed and build on them is a huge asset. Thanks Again!

Coach Brent, I just wanted to thank you for running the camp this weekend. While I had some ups and downs, I truly learned a ton from both you and the other coaches. I learned about aspects of kicking I didn’t even know were looked at, and I wanted to thank you for organizing a great camp that taught me a lot. From the basics of kicking to recruiting, you seemed to cover it all in a short time. I learned so much about the sport as a whole, and I look forward to practicing using the information you gave me.

My son Jonathan had his first kicking lesson with Coach Jesse today. Jesse did an outstanding job of teaching him the fundamentals of kicking. Coach Jesse is exactly what I wanted in a coach for my son. I wanted Jonathan to learn the process he had to go through to kick the football correctly and leave the lesson with confidence. Both of those things were accomplished above and beyond what I thought possible. We are going to spend the next two weeks practicing what he learned and I will schedule another lesson real soon. You are lucky to have Jesse as part of your organization.

Yesterday my son worked with Coach Patrick in Ohio. He is a wonderful young man. Braden thoroughly enjoyed working with him and said he learned a lot. Patrick was good at keeping things light while still correcting the form issues to help Braden become more noticeably accurate. We will definitely be scheduling a future appointment with Patrick to work with my younger son as well. Thanks for a great experience!

Updated Review: Patrick is a wonderful young man! He worked with my older son last year and again this year along with my 8th grader. He’s very good with kids and extremely knowledgeable. My 8th grader couldn’t believe how much he learned!!

Brent, Thanks for the lessons for my son, Matt. He learned a great deal from you in a short period of time. I couldn’t believe the amount of information and instruction we got in only an hour and a half. With a little practice, he hopes to help his high school team in the kicking game. I also want to thank you for letting me listen in on your instructions on the kicking game. I know a lot of what you told us will be instrumental in helping our kickers at Rockhurst for the upcoming season. The onside kick that you showed us will definitely be part of our special teams package. I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn about the kicking game that they contact you and to those more experienced to work with you on their kicking skills. We came all the way from the Midwest and it was well worth it, I only wish you were located a little closer, so we could work with you more often. I have included a Sports Illustrated article about our athletic program. Also, enjoy the bar-b-que, Kansas City bar-b-que rules.

In my son’s youth league, a kicked PAT is worth 2 points; so we had Joshua start kicking early on in 4th grade to help earn more points for his team. He was maxing out around 25 yards at the time. I found Coach Brent when my son was in 5th grade and he immediately started kicking 5 yards further! By 7th grade, he was making 40 yard FGs and his kickoffs were inside the 20 yard line, with reputable hang-time. We just concluded his 8th grade season and now he is solid from 45 yards and in, and can even hit a 50 yard FG on his good kicks; and kickoffs are inside the 10, wow! You can try to watch YouTube videos or provide your own coaching, even if you were a HS kicker (like I was), but until you take your child to Coach Brent, I don’t believe you will see your child’s true potential. Brent helped create a repeatable technique and it boosted Joshua’s confidence and overall results on the field. My son is now ready to earn the starting Varsity spot as a freshman this season. Thank You Coach Brent!

Brent, I wanted to thank you for doing my son’s video analysis. Matt was struggling getting his form back from his last game of high school ball back in November. I worked with him for about two months starting in May and we were better but not where he needed to be for his college team. After your phone call and email with the analysis, Matt started to get more length and height to his kicks after just his next workout. By the time he left for the first college workout he had increased his distance by a solid 10 yards and was hitting them from 15 yards more about 1 out of 3 kicks. I am happy to say he started out as number 3 on the depth chart at college and has now moved to number 2 on the depth charts. His kick offs still need some work but he is working with his college coaches for now. The coaches have been impressed his work ethic and it is looking like he will be the starting place kicker in 2012. I appreciate your time and detail you put into his video analysis. Being on the east coast it is not really cheap for me to fly my son out to California but the $50 I spent on your analysis was by far my best purchase this summer. Thanks and I will update you with Matt’s progress.

I want to thank you again for such a great job at the Austin kicking camp this past weekend. Kicking was an after-thought in Middle School and since Elliott has soccer experience, he was thrown out on his football team to kick. The instruction he received at your camp will help tremendously. We have been kicking every night since your camp and he is really concentrating on the basics you taught him. We would definitely be up for a refresher before school starts so if you can make it out to Texas again; Count Elliott in, for sure! You can also count him in your yearly camp for the next three years as he really wants to be a High School kicker. I’ll keep him working at it and attending your camps each Spring/Summer should help get him there. We’re excited to see you again at the next camp and private lessons.

We have been to many sports camps over the years. I must say that we are very happy with Brent and the Kicking World kicking camp. Here are just a few reasons: *Brent announced and handed out a schedule of events with times and unlike most camps, he stuck to it! *There was a fantastic coach to child ratio. I think in this camp it was one coach to 3 or 4 kids. *Brent also made a point to individually instruct each kid. Overall the camp was well organized, energetic (kids were always doing something), well-staffed and the kids had a blast that was visible from the stands. Thank you Brent for providing a superb camp and the visible care you show for the kids. I would and do recommend your camps to everyone with an interest in kicking.

With your help and dedication to practice, he is now consistently down to the 5 yard line and regularly in the end zone on kickoffs. In practice he also kicked several 50+ yard field goals. We look forward to seeing you again this summer.

But all the cramming and the sun burning was well worth what we gained from attending the 2011 Spring Break Kicking Camp. We were so impressed by how your training was so organized and well run. We really feel like we got our money’s worth and then some. Working with each camper individually really helped to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses which in turn accelerated improvements that were made over the weekend.

I am now 14 and was selected to kick for the East in the Youth All-American game in San Antonio Texas. I am now ranked as the #2 8th grade kicker in the Nation!

My father and I have been looking for a good kicking coach for me and it took awhile. But then we found Coach Brent who is an awesome guy. I’m a straight on kicker and always have been but coach taught me an easy way to learn soccer style and its helping me. But what really helped me was the punting session, I was punting decent balls but after Coach Brent taught me his style it helped me a bunch. My punts have never had so many spirals, and they now turn over too! I recommend him 100%. He’s a down to earth guy and awesome Coach. Thanks Coach Brent and God Bless.

Coach Brent gives great information with regard to recruiting and talks to the boys about smart decisions like what to post on social media. The coaching staff does an amazing job of keeping the boys moving and engaged with very little down-time. We also love looking through all the stats the staff charts for each kick throughout the camp and how my son compares overall to other kickers his age across the country.

Each time I contacted him either by phone or e-mail with any questions he took his time answering me and if I didn’t reach him he was very prompt in getting back to me. After watching him coach my son I saw that that he is very knowledgeable in his field. He was patient with my son as he was teaching him the soccer-style approach vs. straight on kicking. After the sessions I found that he is a very good coach and it was time well spent. Thank you and God Bless.

Pat was terrific. His manner and ability to break the mechanics down was refreshing and really well done. His demeanor and personality was calm and assuring which is great for my son who is very mellow. Pat was meticulous about breaking down the components of the kick into smaller digestible steps for my son. I also like the video review after certain kicks which is a good way to visualize what’s actually going on and envision what the goal is. As a soccer coach of many years, I could really appreciate his process and it was awesome to see someone so methodical with my son like I am with our players.

When I first came to you I never punted and now that’s all I want to do. I am really starting to excel there and that’s all because of you and your staff.

Coach Brent, thanks for a great weekend! The camp ran very organized and smoothly from a parent’s perspective. We appreciated your recruitment talk. We were glad you were upfront and blunt in speaking to the boys about life lessons & proper use of social media, etc. As parents, we try to educate our kids and warn them how their actions can affect the long-term goals they want to accomplish.

He attended a Kicking World camp in North Carolina last week and it was a fantastic experience for him. The coaching staff was extremely knowledgeable and personable and the information was presented in a professional, easy to follow way. The camp created even more excitement in him to practice and get better. We would highly recommend Kicking World camps and look forward to Landon attending another.

Kicking a football is a very specialized skill, but it is very under-appreciated in the game of football. If your kid shows a natural talent, then you need to think outside the normal ‘football team box’ and give him the training he really needs. This is where Coach Brent and Kicking World come into play. Not only does Coach Brent educate, but his camps let kids benchmark where they stand against their peers and tests how they perform under pressure. If you are serious about supporting your kid as a kicker then you should try a Kicking World camp!

They were by far the most helpful coaches I’ve worked with PERIOD. Both Coach Alex and Fletcher were amazing and since I don’t really have a specialist coach at my school (even though it’s a 5A) they were incredibly helpful to me. Made a lot of good connections here that hopefully will keep working with me in the future.

I want to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s camp and learned a lot through Coach Alex and the student coach staff. I know the circumstances are strange right now with the coronavirus, but I am thankful for the good communication and hours of quality training I was able to receive yesterday. It was a very well-run camp. Thank you!

I want to say a big thank you to Coach Cameron Frosch for the Dallas camp today. Several good kickers out there and still lots of great 1:1 advice and teaching.

My son started kicking half way through last year’s season and took lessons with Matt. This year he played a full season and was selected as the 1st team All Conference kicker. He also accepted an offer from Highland Community College here in Kansas so he will be able to do what he had dreamed of and continue to play football while going to college. I do firmly believe that Kicking World and Matt are what made all this possible for my son. Just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work.

We wanted to thank you for a great experience in Charlotte. This was the first kicking camp my son has have ever attended. You offered a program with expert quality coaches who were approachable and friendly. They taught a variety of techniques, tips, and training that we can use at home. Coach Louie ran a very professional camp that flowed smoothly. He explained everything to the players, as well to the parents. My son really enjoyed the personal, hands on training that Louie and Mike provided. Thank You!

Thank you so much for getting me hooked up with Coach Louie for a camp and some private lessons. Your timely responses and availability to get me started right away made all the difference. He is an incredible coach; and a great, friendly guy. I can’t even begin to tell you how much my punting has improved since I started working with Louie. I’ve gone from barely high school football material, to now having the confidence to attempt to walk on at a D1AA program. Best of luck to Kicking World and I will recommend Coach Louie and your company to everyone!

I must say that Hampton talked about you and his lesson the entire way home! He had a blast and appreciated all of your assistance. I don’t know if he told you, but he had never played football before this past season. It was great meeting you, and Kevin and I really do appreciate your time and energy spent working with Hampton. I look forward to having my son work with you again soon.

Coach Jon does an excellent job of coaching kicking and punting. His ability to provide technical pointers for kicking and punting is outstanding. He not only coaches – he “cares”.

This past season was my first year playing football as I transitioned from soccer. I started the season on JV and wanted to get better, so I looked up Kicking World on the internet. Coach Jon and I started to train together, and almost immediately my PATs became more consistent along with the distances of my field goals and kickoffs. The varsity coaches acknowledged my improvement by asking me to be the starting kicker for Varsity. At the end of the season I was awarded the ‘Most Improved Player’ for Varsity.

Justin is kicking the ball really well.  After our first game, a parent from the opposing team inquired about who our kicker was. He watched him warm up kicking field goals and during the game his kickoffs went 50 yards.  Many of the parents couldn’t believe that a 12 year old can kick the ball like he does. Those comments have made me and Justin very proud. With that said, Justin will be a part of Kicking World for a long time.  A big ‘thank you’ to Coach Jon and Kicking World.

A big THANK YOU to Coach Jon for working with my 14 year old son, William, the day before his first football game! William is attempting to transition from soccer to football and needed some solid coaching that I could not offer. In one 45 minute session, Coach Jon taught him an understanding of the fundamentals of kicking and punting that paid huge dividends the next day!

Just wanted say how happy we are with Coach Jon! The lesson for our daughter, Kaeleigh, was so much more than we expected. Kaeleigh walked away from the lesson with confidence and the knowledge of what she needed to work on. We look forward to more lessons in the future and will be recommending Coach Jon and Kicking World! Thank you!

Our two sons, David and Grant Cooper, had a wonderful experience with Kicking World at Bishop Ireton in Northern Virginia!  We appreciate the attention given to each athlete.  Coach Jon and his team showed professionalism by words of encouragement and working one-on-one with each student. Safety was a priority through warming up and taking frequent water breaks.  Fun was had and skills were perfected.  We will highly recommend Kicking World to athletes in our community.  What a fabulous day!

My son Colin attended the kicking camp in New York run by Coach Jon. Jon was great and my son really enjoyed Jon & the camp. Colin has been trying to hit a 40 yard field goal for a while and after only 1 session with Jon, he can now make a 40 yard field goal! Colin also improved on his kickoffs & punts. I just wanted you to know we were very pleased with your camp and that Jon is a great coach.
