What if I ONLY Kick or ONLY Punt?

I’m Primarily a Kicker or Only a Kicker

Even if you are a field goal/kickoff kicker only, we still like you to participate and learn basic punting fundamentals at our camps during the verbal instruction & drills sections, but you are totally fine to opt out from the actual punting and punt competitions. Punting is only about 25% of the entire camp duration, so we do not have the option to register as a ‘Kicker Only’ position and you should choose ‘Kicker/Punter’ when signing up. More colleges are seeking ‘combo specialists’ and we think it’s important for you to know at least the basic fundamentals of a secondary skill. It will help you in the long run.

I’m Primarily a Punter or Only a Punter

If you’re primarily a punter, you are still encouraged to partake in field goal & kickoff instruction & drills with the group but are ok to sit out during the actual kicking and kick competitions. However, if you are truly a ‘Punter Only‘, then choose that position option when signing up for camp. Punter Only campers typically arrive ~2 hours after the posted camp start time and participate only in the punting portion, which is roughly 25% of the total camp duration, thus the discounted camper fee. We only allow a limited number of Punter Only spots for each camp.
