27 Jun 10 2010 Texas Kicking Camp Re-Cap
I just got back from our 2010 Texas Kicking Camp at Travis High School in Austin Texas. It was a HOT weekend with temperatures hitting 100+ degrees on the field on Sunday! The football camp had kickers and punters in attendance from as far away as the tip of Oklahoma, Dallas and West Texas. It’s always a pleasure being in Texas- the southern hospitality and the warmth and friendliness of the people is very welcoming. Kicking World goes out to Texas every year to hold a kicking camp and we may even be coming back twice a year for a camp in Austin and Dallas and private kicking lessons based on the increasing requests from parents in Texas.
While the camp was one of our smaller camps with 10 students in attendance; there was nothing small about the talent! We had kickers hitting 45+ yard field goals into the wind and kickoffs a few yards deep in the end zone. Many of the students were beginners who have just started kicking in the last year or so. By the end of the camp everyone improved greatly whether it was learning how to make solid contact consistently or perfecting their ‘hurdle’ follow through on kickoffs or acing their pop-up onside kicks. Each of our students were able to quickly implement what was taught. I find that the smaller kicking camps of less than 20 participants tend to produce quicker results because there is more ‘1 on 1′ time with each student.
A trip to Texas is not complete unless you get some Barbecue! I always make a stop at Rudy’s BBQ. This year I ate their famous BBQ beef briscuit and baby back ribs. Man do I miss Rudy’s!
Enough of the food talk and on to the competition results! At our camp this year we broke out the competitions into 3 age groups. We had the 13, 14 and 15 year olds in one group, 16 year olds in one group, and the 17 year olds in another group. As we always do- our camp is focused on instruction but at the end of each phase (field goals, punting, kickoffs) we hold a kicking competition. The field goal competition showed excellent kicking skills from all and in particular Chris Nichols of Vista Ridge HS, Austin Barton of Cypress Christian and Cory Patton of Vista Ridge HS. In the punting competition one student pulled ahead with an easy victory with a 47.5 yard net punt average. The kickoff competition was an exciting duel with Cory Patton of Vista Ridge HS and Anthony Firth (college) going into double over-time where Cory ultimately closed the deal with a 67 yard bomber.
A special thanks goes out to all the generous parents who helped with the ‘camp essentials’, the ball-shagging during the camp and for the great photos and video you all took! It was a pleasure meeting everyone at the camp and I’m really looking forward to coming out to Texas again soon. Check the website and blog with updates and news about any upcoming kicking camps in Texas. I may also be flying out to Austin TX very soon to hold private lessons. Have a great rest of your summer and best wishes for a successful football season! Please remember me next time you’re at Rudy’s!

27 Jul 08 North Texas Kicking Camp 7-26-08 RE-CAP
We had the University of North Texas kicking camp at Fouts Field yesterday in Denton, Texas. I took a tour of the UNT campus the day before the camp and was thoroughly impressed with the updated facility and all they have goung on at the school. Their football team is on the rise and they got a new coach who should be cranking up the program quickly. The camp was a success and we had a lot of great talent there. The temperature read 105 degrees outside the stadium but on that field turf stadium I believe it was over 115 degrees! While the temperature was hot, I believe the kicking talent was hotter!
Robert S. won the ‘most accurate field goal kicker’ award for the 15+ year old competition group. He won a pair of Coreshorts compression shorts. Garret C. won the under 15 year old competition group and won the UNT logo apparel. He is only 13 years old and kicked as well as most high school upper-classmen! Ian M. won the most accurate punter award and won the kicking world logo apparel. Everyone did well in both the instruction portion of the camp and the competition.
At the end of the camp every parent spoke with me and/or e-mailed me how much of a good time their sons had at the camp and how beneficial it was for them in getting ready for the 2008 football season. 3 of the students want to set up private lessons in the near future, so it looks like I might be making a trip back to Texas very soon for a group lesson weekend. If you live in the Texas area and want to take part in the next camp or be a part of the group lesson we are scheduling, please give me a call.
Since it was my first time in Texas, I’ve included some pictures of my trip in Dallas and Denton. My favorite stop was at Rudy’s where I had peppered tenderloin, corn on the cob, and home-made potato salad. Texas sure does everything BIG and I noticed how much pride Texans have in their state by seeing the Texas state flag flown everywhere I went! Also I saw the southern hospitality by the nice and calm demeanor of the people and friendly and helpful attitudes. I enjoyed my trip and anticipate coming back soon.

27 Jun 08 High School Kicking Camps- National Locations 2008
I’m looking forward to our upcoming kicking camps in 2 new locations this summer at University of North Texas- Fouts Field in Denton, TX and Tempe High School in Tempe, AZ. There will be two sessions as usual, the morning kicking camp session from 9am-1130am is exclusively for youth kickers & punters ages 7-12 and all beginners who are just starting out. The afternoon kicking camp session is from 12pm-230pm and it is exclusively for kickers only, ages 13 and up who are in middle school, high school, or higher. You can sign up to either session depending upon your individual skill level and/or age. Please call us should you have any questions or concerns before signing up online at http://www.kickingworld.com/camps.html
For our afternoon session the kicking camp is designed more as a college kicking camp where students will learn advanced field goal kicking and kickoff techniques to help propel their skills to another level. By the completion of the camp students will learn how to add at least 3 more yards to their kickoffs, understand the proper way to aim on field goals and minimize chances for errors, the proper follow-through on kickoffs (which are different from field goals), learn strategies to deal with the ‘mental game,’ and also become more poised and confident in pressure situations as we will be having various head to head kicking competitions, knock-out competitions, last man standing kicking competition, pressure-drills, and last-second game winner drills.
If you are a middle school kicker or a high school kicker and are looking to dramatically improve and become a college kicker, this special college kicking camp afternoon session is for you! In addition to all the fine instruction you will receive, we will also conduct a special 30 minute presentation from 11:30am-12:00pm (which is open to ALL football players, coaches, and parents, not just kickers & punters). In this discussion Coach John Baker and/or myself will teach you the secrets you need to know about the college football recruitment process, how to gain exposure to college coaches, how to best prepare your marketing materials which include items like your kicking highlight video, athletic resume, letters of recommendations from coaches, kicking coaches, and teachers, and how to show the coaches you mean business and you are the BEST choice for their program.
Remember, having a successful collegiate football program is a lot like running a good business; coaches pick the best men for the job and things become much more serious after high school… are you ready for the challenge? do you have what it takes to play at the next level? Do you dream about suiting up at a big D1 football program in front of tens of thousands of people? If so, visit our website at http://www.kickingworld.com/ and give us a call so we can help get you on track today!
Sign up for one of our kicking camps or call us to schedule private kicking lessons or private punting lessons in California or New Jersey or after one of our national kicking camps this summer in Texas, Arizona, California, or New Jersey.
‘GO FOR 3′

“My husband and I are so impressed with how professionally run your camp is and your overall kicking knowledge. When I saw the price of the kicking camp is only $150.00; I was honestly not expecting much. What my son received in your 3 hour kicking camp was much more than what was taught at the 2 overnight camps he attended that cost us over $400 each! Your ability to instruct the kickers, with such fast results is powerful! I want to thank you for conducting such an exceptional, informative kicking camp. We will be attending your next camp date! Sincerely, Bev Mitchell”
