Kicking, Punting & Long Snapping Training in Orlando
Orlando has more specialists than almost anywhere in Florida and almost nowhere to get coached properly. Most kickers here train with a position coach who played somewhere else on the field, a phone full of technique videos, and no idea why Friday night’s ball came off the foot wrong.
4th Down University is a specialist-only program. Kickers, punters and long snappers are not a side offering here — they are the only thing we do, and have been for 22 years.
What a session actually looks like
Every rep is measured on TrackMan and reviewed on film the same day. Not “looked good, run it again” — ball speed, launch angle, spin, apex and height off the line of scrimmage, on every ball.
That data feeds Kickometry, the method behind the program: find the athlete’s repeatable operation, then build training around holding it under pressure. There is no one right way to kick. There is the right way for that athlete’s body, made repeatable. More on how we use TrackMan.
How Orlando-area athletes train with us
Most Orlando training is on-campus and by appointment. We come to your high school — arranged with your athletic director and head coach — or to a field near you. Orlando-area events also run at Northeast Regional Park when they are scheduled.
On-campus sessions are $250 and cover the whole Orlando metro, plus Seminole, Lake and Osceola County. Athletes who would rather come to us train at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex, about an hour up I-4 and A1A. Virtual sessions work from anywhere.
How an on-campus session gets set up
- Tell us where you are. Your school, your position, and what you are trying to fix.
- You and your coach square it with the school. Your head coach signs off and your athletic director grants field access — that permission has to come from inside the program, which is why it runs through you and your coach rather than through us.
- We come to you. $250, on your own field, TrackMan on every rep and film reviewed the same day.
If your school will not host, we use a local park near you instead, or you come to Ormond Beach.
Orlando-area athletes who trained here
Specialists from this area have gone on to play at Michigan, Florida, Missouri, Maryland, UCF, Howard, Eastern Kentucky, Lafayette and Holy Cross, among others. One is a Lou Groza Award semifinalist currently kicking in the Big Ten.
Across the whole program, 4DU athletes have earned more than 150 college scholarships and dozens of All-America honors, including Lou Groza and Ray Guy Award winners and a Fred Mitchell Award winner, with an NFL list that includes Cairo Santos, Chris Boswell, Wil Lutz, Tommy Townsend, Greg Joseph, Austin Seibert and Brad Robbins.
