Football Place Kickers – How To Kick Field Goals

The purpose of this article is to discuss place kicking, teaching football kickers the art of kicking field goals. We will take you through the steps necessary to become a successful place kicker.

The tips written here are for soccer style place kickers.

1. Positioning the ball:

The place kicker lines up 7 yards behind the center. For practice purposes, start out .

about 20 yards from the goal posts.

The ball should have a slight backwards tilt whether it is being set by the holder

or placed in a kicking tee.

2. Positioning the place kicker:

1st. Take one stride backwards from where the ball will be placed.

2nd. Take two or more strides, depending on your comfort zone, to the side, measuring off the

distance from where the ball will be addressed.

3rd. It is very important place kickers always measure off the same distance regardless of the

distance needed to kick the field goal.

4th. The proper angle for addressing and kicking the ball. Successful place kickers

come in on the ball from half the distance of their side steps. Should field goal

kickers take 6 steps to the side, they want to take 3 steps in as the approach

and kick the ball.

3. Look at the up rights, visualize the ball sailing through, splitting the goal posts.

4. Approaching the ball for the place kick:

1st: Sort of jab at the ground with the plant foot to start the forward momentum.

2nd. Take the firs step with the kicking foot.

3rd. Begin coming in towards half the distance stepped out.

4th. As you are ready to kick the ball, starting at the heel firmly get the plant foot

planted in the ground.

5th. The plant foot should be pointing straight towards the goal posts, even with

the ball and about one foot from the ball.

5. Kicking the ball

1st.Resting the weight on the plant foot, make sure the body is facing the goal posts.

2nd. Strike the ball with the upper bone of the center of the foot.

3rd. Kick the ball in the lower third, otherwise you risk topping the ball. Kicking

Lower on the ball adds height.

4th. Keep the head down and follow through extending the kicking leg as far as

possible. Lifting the head early can cause the ball to go to the right

for right footed kickers and left for left footed kickers.

Kickers should do about 20 minutes of warm up exercises before practicing. These warm ups should include stretching exercises to avoid pulled muscles and get the most out of place kicking practice. Remember it is quality and not quantity that creates successful field goal kickers.

In conclusion the above teach place kickers where to place the ball and how to address the ball. There In conclusion there are many fine place kicking DVDs available that will expand on the information supplied here. All a football kicker need do is decide which one or ones best meets their needs.

Email a video off of mini dvd?

I have finalized my mini dvd from my camcorder. I can see that there are 23 chapters using windows media player, but I can’t play from there. My computer’s dvd player will play the mini dvd, but won’t let me extract any video files. I just wasted money on a Roxio piece of crap software that helps zero.

Try it this way

Use a programme such as Ulead VideoStudio – you take the mini-disc out of your camcorder and put it into the DVD tray of your PC making sure it sits centrally in the little depression made for it. You may have to ‘finalise’ the mini DVD your camera manual will tell you how to do that – but you should note that once a DVD is finalised you cannot record any more video on it.

Inside VideoStudio you select “Insert DVD” and point the programme at the DVD and follow the prompts and the video is copied from the disc into the timeline of VideoStudio so that you can edit it – add lots of different videos together – add titles/music/narration – make a file that you can e-mail or upload to ‘Youtube’ etc. and finally burn to a full size DVD to play in a standard player.

Does it seem like soccer aficionados speak a language all their own? It sure seems like it to me, and I’ve been playing the game for over 20 years. I put an article on the front page of this blog to help explain the most common soccer terms in plain English. Hopefully this list will help soccer moms everywhere (and soccer dads too, for that matter)to better understand what their little athlete is talking about! Click Here For Access: Soccer Terms.
