How to Kick a Field Goal in Football : Extra Point vs. Field Goal Kicking

[coffeycake96]

so many things were wrong with this video.

[irfanator17]

i'm hoping that's not a real holder. Wrong knee down....it's awkward having to reach all the way across your body to put the ball down on the block/ground.

Also, you shouldn't approach field goals and extra points any differently if you're a kicker. In addition, a soccer-style kicking approach from an angle typically allows better accuracy by allowing the kicker to kick with the instep of his foot.

SICK TURF FIELD

[MrOhiostateboy]

@kochesstriker9 Your tellin me! Aha

[razor7074]

a long range? it was 5 yards farther...

[TheSK818]

"but once me move the fall back to a long range, the 15 yard line, hes gonna ave to really put his leg into this one" 25 yard field goals are REALLY far away

[spence01100]

is that suppose to be a football field?

[joshrisen17]

hahahahaha he is using a 2" block .......im a freshman and i use a 1" block and im almost ready to go to the ground and i can kick a 40 yarder

[tkaufman32]

@joshrisen17 I'm in eighth grade and i can get a 35 yarder, any thing i can do to hit a forty?

[xPsycho661x]

@joshrisen17 our freshman kicker hit a 46 yarder off ground.

[kewlfx]

Garbage advice. Kick it the same each time. I only kick it harder than normal if the kick is on the edge of my range.

[CustomGraphicDesignz]

obviously you need to kick it harder in order to kick it farther.. -_-

[ChEwYEnO]

XP: soft

FG: hard

thanks expert village

[soccerdrummer234]

As a college kicker I will tell you that every kick is the same...

[sroberts9337]

Why does the holder have shoulder pads on? And is he 11?

[SHSKicker17]

dude it doesnt matter how u kick a xp as long as u make them............every1 has a certain style of kicking 

[nicocop1602]

nice field

[rickysegers]

This guy needs to reconsider everything he said in this video.

[whiteytighty34]

ive never taken lessons i just kick the ball the way that feels comfortable. CHECK OUT MY PAGE...you wont do it ;)

[rockags132]

This guy is an idiot I am a kicker and you kick it the exact same way for XP and FG's this guy is just dumb holy cr**

[TheDallasCowbys]

I would have never guessed you had to kick it harder to make it go farther...Well i'll be!

[herodsfeast]

Wait - are you saying you have to kick the ball harder to make it go farther? Prescient. Where do I sign up?

[lamboave2]

why are you kicking it off of a block?

[MegaMahaba]

it seems like every single video of expertvillage shows how to do something wrong

[MrsUnicorn911]

That's a shitty field. 

[WorldPhuckingChamps]

why is there a holder when the ball is already on a tee?

[dirtbik35]

@WorldPhuckingChamps thats not a tee, its a block and it only raises the ball off of the ground but it doesnt keep it in place

[DjBlaaack]

Why is he kicking field goals off a holder?

[kevinliu2010]

cool field :d

[p0wertek]

21 ppl are smart

[rockerlane]

i can kick better than you with haf a foot and im in elmentry schol

[siusaluki15]

@WesviewWolverinesPK actually you made a pretty general statement, and I replied. Your welcome for the help. I hope you train with one of my coaches out where you live.

[WestinFootball]

@siusaluki15 Really, all the records? What school would that be at?

[siusaluki15]

@WesviewWolverinesPK fine dont take my advice... your choice. 6 years is nothing when it comes to experience. I havent put together a college career or anything. Dont listen to me. I just hold all the records at a D1 University.

[siusaluki15]

@WesviewWolverinesPK mistake kid. go get the tee. No college coach cares that you can kick off the ground if you cant consistently make field goals

[solidshot12]

whats up with the ghetto field?

[wwelh4]

@solidshot12 probaly a practice field

[MiLWiffle]

i am a freshman in high school and i am going to try out for kicker.i have never played football before.any tips.thanks guys

[InfectedFTW]

ur suppose to kick it the same everytime. no one listen to this retards advice he obviously isnt a good kicker coach. its muscle memory and it helps being accurate

[TheSteelersfan619]

at 1:28 it looks like he is going to kick the guys ass!!

[babbleboyeh56]

i like how he only moved it back like 5 yards for a "long range" kick...

[AVIBobcat08]

What a terific field to play football on reminds me of a cow pasture

[TheNickiminaj1024]

@AVIBobcat08 lol ikr

[cod4glitcher991]

my teams fg kicker can make 1 without even following thru and buddy in the name we all freakin kno its in football so step off

[cod4glitcher991]

[xdyenastyx]

[rarmaster14]

@xdyenastyx hahaha :D

[SixGunStudios]

he shouldn't be doing this video read the description hes a basketball coach

[danestrong99]

this guy is a fool

[123longboarder]

shaun hopson my man u r stupid #09 dont listen to a word he says

[mikeysk8r2348]

im boout to be a startinmg kicker for my highschooll....i already kno this is bullshit...my special teams CORD....told me completely otherwise

[TheRandomSanta]

WOW!!!! Tee??? You dont use tees in-game so that only messes up your technique. im 14 and i can kick really accurate 35 yarders, and even i know that your talking non-sense. also your demonstration kids suck cock. thumbs up if you agree

[azyloom]

@TheRandomSanta if your trying to make it to college... use a tee. Trust me.

[finklekicker]

@azyloom Absolutely...I've been saying this to numerous kickers on my page. But this coach knows absolutely nothing about kicking. Check out my videos on my page for correct instruction. One of the videos is labeled How to Kick Field Goals. In it I am kicking off of the ground. It is meant for kickers transitioning into college. So if any kickers out there in high school that aren't in that transition...please do as the person commented and use the tee while you can.

[VivaLaChase21]

@TheRandomSanta Im 11 and I use tees to kick from the +20 yard line and I've only missed 3 times in 2 years. so yeah.

[9Easley]

i'm a kicker and you are supposed to kick a fg like a pat. this kid kicks wrong and he doesnt follow through.

[dcurry97]

Lol. I am a college kicker and this guy only makes me laugh. You can tell he is full of shit as he st-udders his way through the explanation. If you are a young kicker watching this don't listen to it. Every kick should be the exact same. It is called a follow through... not a "Bunny Hop".

[flyleafboy21]

this guy is a faggot like idk just a plain homo

[DJJumpFly]

Hey my name is Akbar and I like your mom

[KYLETSO100]

Is it raining?lol

[TheChickMagnetTheMiz]

hahaha he missed both XP and FG lol

[Wilson7739]

stupid....no clue what he is talking about

[jdownz123]

A) the field sucks, who would want to play on that shit field.

B) umm it doesnt matter if its an extra point or fieldgoal... you kick the same way and with same power

C) umm... get rid of the faggot 2 inch tee

[iSkatePod]

A) this is not the NFL

B) I hash a potatoes

C) I farted, L0l0L0l0loLOloLoL0L0LOl

[Patriots8312]

awful, don't use a 2 inch tee. A it can completely screw your technique. And he had no follow through on his kick, he used only his leg and not his whole body. He also had an awful line up, his plant foot needs to be at least one foot length away from the tee. Take it from me, I struggled with kicking forever, and then learned the technique. and this is not it, if you want to make it anywhere past the high school level, don't follow this shit.

[MrAbdullah7860]

Good video. It is awesome. You guys ar just jealous cause you can't kick a field goal.

[MICKTHEBULLDOGVICK1]

the guy setting up the kick must feel like a reject

[alexsheppard96]

@MICKTHEBULLDOGVICK1 

[camaroman87]

gay

[ryan7208]

i like how he leaves his right arm up after he kicks like a follow through is basketball. also this dude is using a 2inch block and still isnt get very much height. of course if that dude was my kicking coach i would suck too haha.

[1414rg]

As a former kicker, you kick the fucking ball the same way on XP and FG.  This guy don't know what the fuck his talking about.

[TheGheddo94]

@1414rg well i go into different angles for the XP im more into the height so it doesnt get blocked and in FG im only into the length of the kick, like my XP are maybe 30 yards long but therefore way higher than the FG's from like 40 yards or something

[rockerlane]

@1414rg you are absolutely correct this guy is dumb

[monsterscarce]

@1414rg yeah u hit it the same way no matter what unless its a kickoff when u need to kick it a bit far

[Armorhead89]

@1414rg amen to that and i am a kicker and this guy looks like he is trying to make a new form that does not work

[modewa25]

where are they playing, a cow pasture?

[urFAMguy123]

expert village everybody knowsss.........U SUCK

[rogesoccer]

r u for real this vid sucks

you should always follow the same routine on pat and on farther fg.

This vid is just to confuse people dont listen to this shit

[brett6344]

there field sux

[Tmaacs]

pretty sure thats a practice field

[brett6344]

yea i know

[KickSB1]

What? Your kicks should be the same on a Pat as a 45 yarder! do not listen to these videos.

[548727839785]

but normally on pat u dont kick as hard

[rogesoccer]

ur right but you should always follow the same routine the kicker in the vid kicks that "long fg" like a kickoff he probably missed it lol

[CoachKicker18]

If you are a serious kicker looking for advice, do not watch these videos. The technique is way off and the tips are completely wrong. If you need any help or advice feel free to email me with any questions. I will reply within a day.

[ccoca32]

5 yards? lol.. whats this guys range like 30.. cmon.

[qbnkikr]

Not a very good way to show kicking. Too inconsistent

[nscwevideos59]

I wouldn't think so. I think it's just for demonstration.

[kqgibson]

oh shit the kicker looks like joe pesta

[pk16]

Yes in highschool you can use a 1 or 2 inch block.

[TacticalDude2]

Why is your kicker bigger then your lineman?

[Baseball02093]

"if we move the tee back, and we've gotta kick from a long range"

yeah cuz 5 yards back is a huge difference

[PittsburghPanthers18]

1.)You should approach every kick the same regardless if it is an extra point or field goal.

2.) Kickers plant foot needs to be more down field.

3.) The holder is holding with the wrong hand

- Former NFL & College Punter

[gutfray]

good advice mate wats ur name btw

[ensley92]

So... apparently, you should kick the ball harder for a field goal than for an extra point.

I'm glad this video was here to explain that one to me.

[REDie2009]

LOL, great comment ensley!

[RADNORKICKER2008]

i come from a big kicking family uncle kicked in the pros dad kicked at florida and 2 years with the browns best coaches you could have. The way i kick is the same for an extra point and a field goal. get comfortable and u should know how far back you are. most coaches are jackasses and dont know anything about kicking so we have our ways and we are considered crazy.

-Berj Yepremian Jr

[kickflip62]

damn straight, we kick how we kick.

[phartsrule]

look at his kick at the way end, it's obvious that he shanked it WAYYYY to the left

[zachsteinberg]

you kick it exactly the same

[keith5618]

omg kicks sould be the same

look at the pros

but yet i tryed it and it works for me

new way of kicking i guest

[eagleskicker22]

every football coach you ask will tell you to kick a P.A.T. the same way as you do a field goal

[purplecowudder]

this video is horrible. there should be no difference in how you kick it

[WSAT1945]

there is, higher distance needs more power

[purplecowudder]

nope

[WSAT1945]

okay, I just noticed, you are right. You always kick with full power, its more save.

sry

[karimoh1]

stupid advice.

every kick should be the same

[baldwinfb36]

Every FG/PAT attempt should be the same motion regardless of distance.

[nahbeechnah]

lol, keeps his hand up after the kick trying to look like a BAMF

[fsu103]

idiot...every kick has to be the same

[cameronadel41]

extra points should be higher. you rarely see extra points blocked because you kick them higher but not as far.

[Chrisrobinson16]

this guy is terrible

[burtonis1]

WoW dont listen to this retard he doesnt know anything about kicking.

[karimoh1]

dont listen to this retard he spells wow WoW

[POKVARENISIR]

i never kicked a football before, but i can kick the living crap out of the soccer ball(i was a goalie)....i wonder how different or harder it is??

[subconnect]

It's really different you have worry about angle and velocity

and junk.

[teegoblue2]

go and try it buddy

[POKVARENISIR]

i don't have a football...or the holder....i don't even know if you can kick it with soccer shoes or would i need to buy football shoes...guys am foreign don't know much about it

[6xL1oydx5]

u use soccor cleats and just go find a kid with a football

[bhlover703]

their field sucks!!!

[pilot865]

dude, I'm 15 and kick for my JV team, and you kick it the same both ways..

[Pupotumus]

every kick should be the same. there should be no difference at all

[jbut182]

i disagree... every kick should be the same whether it be a field goal or extra point

[michellerichter]

Once again, as with other videos I have commented, this coach isn't very smart. How about establishing proper distance from the ball?...never kick on the downswing to avoid line drives?...have toe pointed for proper sweet spot contact? This coach is a joke, for real. Knows just enough to be dangerous.

[noobkiller350]

wats better soccer style or regular?

[mattman2900]

Depends on your preference. I like soccer style personally. Some say that you get more accuracy with straight on, however I tend to think of Field goals in football the same as Free Throws in basketball. The more practice and same routine will make you more accurate.

[sexyb3ast5]

i like soccer better because on straight on kicking most peoples feet curve a little

[DieselDigitBlackFoot]

Soccer style in my opinion. There's more room for error with the chance of being successful.

[Brandon5495]

wow he backed up the tee for a long distance. 5 yards. such a long FG. lol

[Brandon5495]

id love to kick on that piece of crap field!!! LOL

[mattman2900]

Looks like the Danville Admirals Football team from Kentucky, and if it is, then first don't worry that's not their football field, probably just a patch of dirt field somewhere. Second, if it is DHS, what do they need a kicker for? Entertainment?

[shinjiyasuno]

that field sucks. i'd hate to kick on that.

[gcguag]

that field looks like its in good condition

[ImaCoolDude72]

get that faggot ass maryland football shit out of here.

[aaadddaaammm777]

that football field is awesome

[Gntsbigfan]

everyone here should shut up, this is FREE aint it? so if ur lookin for expert opinions and great stuff to hear for free that could really help you it prolly wont be free, i should make a video. im 15 kickin 45 yarders like they NUTIN

[aparkedcar156]

shut up you poor bastard

[chezzachicks]

ok D-BAG im sure river hill is not even in the top 100 in the nation...u would get fleeced if u played any of those teams and second the ravens blow so who cares if ur coached by stover u proly sucked his dick just to get 5 minutes of his time!!!

[mushroomsg]

kid grow up. he happens to be one of my dads good friends. Check max preps if you dont believe our ranking. I don't understand why you have to critisize me when I am make helpful and accurate kicking suggestions. I think I know what im talking about im going to college for kicking.

[Glenelg08]

this guy is a dumbass. and as far as i know river hill is #6 in MD, not the country. and campanaro is your only good player, besides hoco football isnt that great

[mushroomsg]

shh glenelg08 thats so cute. what is your record 3-7? Try not to come in last again. besides check max preps were #1 in the state in front of quints orcherd. to keep us us up to date we are now rated 8th in the counrty. Also we have more than camp getting scholarships( we have about 8 more).

[GJLfilmproductions]

why the fuck would you change how you kick for PAT's and field goals

[mushroomsg]

ok wheres the bunny hop I watched tis movie three times and I see no skip through.my longest is 56 yard and I was 65-67 on field goals all over 30 yards out. 117-117 on extra points. Im not trying to brag its just that this coach knows nothing about consistent form. It does also help when Matt Stover teaches you how to kick.

[mushroomsg]

DO NOT take this advice I kick for river hill high school in maryland #6 in the country and trained by ravens kicker matt stover. When you kick the motions are all the same regardless of distance. changing you form leads to inconsistency and ground outs(squibs). If you keep your form the same and you mess up you know where you went wrong and look back on where to make corrections. to make a long story short this coach is on drugs and knows almost nothing about speical teams!!

[eviscool]

yay river hill wins EVERY year

[dgpr014]

goldberg?!

[keepermc]

haha is this a joke?? i was waiting for the guy to say "ha! just kidding" but no this guy really is just a terrible kicking coach. I feel like reporting this video to youtube for being so ignorant and retarded...without trying to be.

[skater10nick]

this guy is fricken retarded, i kick for west valley in fairbanks ak, and my record is a 51, and i do the same steps everytime, if you kick a feild goal like a pat, youll be just fine

[cheesefg51]

As a Former DI Kicker - DO NOt take this guy's advice...Kick the ball the same every time guys.....20 Yd FG or 50 Yd FG Attempt - Does not matter - Geeeeeeeeeeeeez .....Head down - skip through - Same way every time....Best of luck guys ......I almost threw up my dinner watching this....

[irishkeeper0]

this guy is dumb haha

[ilybusupthestreet777]

you two are so right

YOU FREAKING SUCK AT FOOTBALL ADVICE!!!!

whether its a PAT or 50 yarder you should kick it the same

you suck guy meat

[kevzeppelin07]

you are absolutely right. obviously this guy has no idea what he is talking about and aspiring kickers should not look to this video for guidance at all! every kick is the same ALWAYS! i will be posting videos in the near future, or as soon as it warms up in my neck of the woods, on how to properly kick a football and these will be correct, guaranteed!

[kickingworld]

this is NOT accurate! Whether you are kicking a PAT (extra point) or a FG (Field Goal) you should walk off your steps and approach the ball the same way as well as your follow-through will be the same. Any kick you take whether 20 yards or 50 yards should be full explosive power and with the same exact steps, motion, ball impact, foot/ball contact, and follow-through.
