20 Jul 10 Orange County Kicking Competition at Irvine High School

On Sunday, July 18th we had a special mini kicking competition at Irvine High School for some of the Kicking World students. It was a hot day out on the field turf but we all had fun. I’ve been coaching some awesome kickers this year who work hard each week and I wanted to do something different besides the regular kicking instruction we normally do. To spice things up we had a field goal competition with 4 of my students- Zachary Christensen of Mission Viejo High School, Christian Rodriguez of Fountain Valley High School, Nicholas Mares of Servite High School and Bailey Lipschultz of Alta Loma High School. Bret Miller of San Clemente High School was unable to attend. We had a double-elimination field goal competition and the winner got a Kicking World Under Armour heat-gear training shirt. It was a close kicking competition with a lot of laughs and good times. Ultimately Zach Christensen was able to pull ahead as the winner with a beautiful 53 yard field goal. All 4 guys exhibited great poise, confidence and excellent ability under the kicking competition pressure. I’m really looking forward to this 2010 football season and seeing how our Kicking World students do. I’m expecting big things from everyone!

13 Nov 09 Freshman Kicker Pulled Up to Varsity For Playoffs!

I got an e-mail today from one of my students’ Dad. I was pleased to find out that my student Christopher Gulla, freshman kicker at Toms River North High School in Toms River, NJ was pulled up to Varsity for the first playoff game this Saturday, November 14, 2009. His parents are extremely proud of him as I am. Christopher attended my 2009 New Jersey Kicking Camp in Toms River, NJ and he held his own for over 12 rounds of a ‘final elimination’ competition versus a 17 year old senior kicker!

I wish Chris much success in his first Varsity football game tomorrow and I wish the Toms River North Football team a great playoff run. Please read below for comments from Mr. Gulla, Christopher’s father:

“Chris has had a great season. He handled punts, kickoffs and PAT’s for both the freshmen and JV teams. As we enter the State playoffs Chris has been pulled up to Varsity and yesterday won the starting kicker job.

With your help and his dedication to practice, he is now kicking consistently down to the 5 yard line and regularly into the end zone. In practice he has also kicked several 50 + yard field goals. His first varsity kick off will be tomorrow night in our first round state playoff game.” (Dennis Gulla)

01 Feb 09 Undefeated (13-0) Laguna Hills HS Football Wins CIF Championship

This year my team won the CIF Championship which is the biggest thing you can do in California HS Football. We went undefeated at 13 and 0 and had a tremendous season. As you may know, I am the Kicking Coach at the HS and work with the kickers/punters and help out with Special Teams schemes.

Our Kicker, Richie Hogan, was honored as 1’st Team All-CIF, 1’st Team All-Conference, and 1’st Team All-Orange County. I’m waiting to find out where he will be going to college. He is being heavily recruited by some top-notch division 1 football programs like Colorado State, Nebraska, Central Michigan, Utah, and some others. I anticipate some bigger football schools making offers very soon! Tune in to find out where he decides to go!
