Alex Walls

Kicking/Punting Coach

Coach Alex Walls was a standout kicker at the University of Tennessee from 1999 to 2002. He holds several records, including being the most accurate kicker in school history, having the most PATs in one game (10/10), and more. Alex lives in Knoxville, TN, where he has served as the Special Teams Coordinator, Kicking Coach, and Head Soccer Coach at West HS in Knoxville. He is now an Assistant Principal at a middle school in the local district. He provides private kicking & punting lessons in Knoxville (daily), as well as the Nashville and Tri-Cities areas (occasionally).

Alex is a laid back coach with lots of patience and a positive, upbeat attitude. He likes seeing our students improve through camps and lessons, and even though he has a full workload and a busy family life (wife and four daughters), he finds the time to travel around the country each camp season, helping aspiring kickers and punters coast to coast!

Frequently asked Questions (FAQs)

Where & When do the lessons take place?

Under the ‘Availability’ section above we list the general city/region that your coach offers lessons in. After completing the lesson registration process (you can put in notes with preferred weeks/days) you’ll receive an email from us soon after sign up with your coach’s contact information so you can discuss logistics, scheduling & exact meeting location (we typically utilize local high school football fields). If you have any issues connecting with your coach after 72 hours of completing the registration, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

How long are the sessions?

Private Lessons (1 on 1) are 45 minutes or 1 hour long depending on the coach. You may also ‘double’ up the session to make it 1.5 hours or 2 hours (recommended for first-time students and/or for those traveling from further away).

How do the lesson payments work?

To get started sooner we recommend you pay for 1 or 2 lessons and you’ll receive an introductory email shortly after registration. The coach will be in touch within 72 hours to get a date on the calendar. You are able to begin registration without payment but it makes it a bit more tedious later on so we ask you to commit to at least 1 session to show you’re ready to go. If for some reason you still have questions after reading our very detailed website and FAQs section and would like to talk with Coach first you can proceed without payment and a coach will be in touch.

What are small group lessons all about?

Some coaches also have small group lessons (1-hour sessions) which are limited to 6 to 8 students at a time. Participants in these sessions must have attended at least (2) KW camp(s) and/or (2) private lessons with us in the last 12 months and be familiar with Kicking World’s coaching concepts & drills. These sessions are planned sporadically throughout the year. We send out regional lesson email updates a few times a year, so make sure you’re subscribed to be in the loop.

What’s the weather policy?

All lessons are on rain or shine, hot or cold. In cases of extreme weather (lightning, heavy rain, freezing cold, triple digit temps, etc) your coach may contact you to look at rescheduling to a different day and/or an earlier or later time to work around weather.

Is there a lesson cancellation policy?

Yes. We honor a 24-hour cancellation policy which means you must provide your Coach a minimum of 24 hours notice for a cancellation or you will be charged for the full lesson fee. And as a courtesy, we kindly ask that you give us at least 3 days notice for any cancellation or time/date change so that we can rearrange our schedule as needed. For Small Group Lessons there are no refunds or transfers. For out of state lessons and travel lessons you will be charged for the full lesson fee for any cancellations or changes.

What if the coach is too far from me?

You may view our coaching staff and their locations under the Lessons Find a Coach page. If no coaches are near you, or it’s just not practical and a bit too far of a travel distance, we have some other options. You can fly out to train with Kicking World owner – Coach Brent in Austin, Texas (kicking and/or punting only - no long snapping) for his Texas Experience package (a few different sessions over 2-3 days at his normal lesson rate), or bring him to you for Travel Lessons (2-3 days minimum with flight, hotel, and car rental expenses covered, plus a daily training fee). Lastly, we have excellent instructional videos & books in our online shop, as well Coach Brent offers virtual lessons and a recruiting tips phone call.
