Kicking, Punting & Long Snapping Lessons in Ormond Beach
Most specialists in Volusia and Flagler County have never been coached by someone who does this full time. They get a position coach who played linebacker, a YouTube video, and a lot of guessing about why Friday night’s ball came off the foot wrong.
4th Down University has been in Ormond Beach since 2004. Kickers, punters and long snappers are not a side specialty here — they are the only thing we do.
What a session actually looks like
Every rep is measured on TrackMan and reviewed on film the same day. Not “looked good, do 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 the 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.
Who trains here
Athletes who have come through this program have earned 150+ college scholarships and dozens of All-America honors.
Cairo Santos, Tommy Townsend and Austin Seibert came through the program and went on to the NFL. Santos won the Lou Groza Award at Tulane in 2012; Ethan Gettman won the Fred Mitchell Award at Bryant in 2022. NFL specialists who have trained or coached in Daytona include Chris Boswell, Wil Lutz, Greg Joseph and Brad Robbins — several of whom still come back in the offseason.
Where we train
Most sessions run at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex — private, semi-private and small group work.
Seasonally we are on the field at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, and we run occasional sessions at Father Lopez Catholic High School in Daytona Beach and the New Smyrna Beach football field.
Outside Volusia County, 4DU runs events in the Orlando area and South Florida, and on-campus training travels to your program anywhere within 100 miles of Daytona Beach.
