DRILLS


Goal Post Drill


This is my favorite drill. It works on accuracy.
1. Line up 12 to 15 yards from the goal post.
2. Snap the ball and try to hit the goal post.
3. See how many times you can hit it in a row.

Repeat Snap Drill


This drill works on the release point and accuracy.
1. You need about 8 to 10 balls and 2 helpers or 1 helper and a backstop.
2. Have the balls placed in front of you in a line the way you like to grip them.
3. Snap the first ball.
4. Have your helper place the next ball on the ground in front of you positioned the way you like to grip the ball.
5. Snap the ball as soon as you get your hands on the new ball.
6. Repeat with rest of balls.
7. The 2nd person will catch the snapped balls. Or the backstop will stop the balls.
8. If your snaps are consistently straight, then you have a good release point.
9. If your snaps are not consistently straight, work on your follow through with your hands and fingers pointing back at the punter.


Distance Snap Drill


1. Place several balls on ground in front of you.
2. This is not like the repeat snap drill.
3. Make sure you have the proper approach, grip and stance.
4. Snap each ball as straight and as far as you can. Strive more for distance.

1. Just snap!
2. Reps, reps, reps are the key.
3. Get the feel!
