A team which is deficient in the kicking department operates at only 66% efficiency. You cannot expect to win at such a level of performance.
One out of every 5 plays in a game is a kick of some sort.
It should be noted, however, that something very unusal occurs on every kicking play in a game. One or more of the following three events take place on every kick, while they do not occur frequently on other scrimmage plays:
1. A sizeable amount of yardage is involved ( 30 yards or more).
2. There is a change of ball possession involved.
3. A specific attempt to score points is involved (PAT or field goal). The plays which involved the kicking game, therefore, are weighted heavily, insofar as they affect the tide and outcome of the game.
Many of the big breaks in a game occur on a kicking play.
Breaks usually happen when a team or a player is unprepared for situation. Where a team is prepared, the chance to capitalize on a break often presents itself at a most opportune time. The breaks in the kicking game often mark the difference between winning and losing.
A sound kicking game can be established more quickly than eitherof the other two phases in football. Players in the kicking game are special so, our motto is "Special People For Special Teams". Players in the kicking game must take great pride in their assignments and performance. You must set your goal to always win the kicking game. Steve Hall
