    KICKOFF – TAKE THE LINE
     Purpose
    – To get all 10 guys to be at the l.o.s., running
    full speed as the kicker makes contact with
    the ball.

     1. Moving up or back

    KICKOFF – CORNER KICK WITH HINGE COVERAGE

     Objective:
    – To kick the ball between the goal line and ten yard line on the
    numbers and pin the returner between the two gates and the
    sideline (corner)
     Each athlete is numbered from 1-10 from right to left not counting
    the kicker
     10,9,8,7,6,5,K,4,3,2,1 (can be changed up to disguise athletes and
    confuse returners vs. a man crossing system)
     1 and 10 are contained
     K and 5 are safeties
     2,3 and 4 are the right gate; Keeping everything inside of them
     7,8 and 9 are the left gate; Keeping everything inside of them
     6 is the hinge, straight to the ball

    KICKOFF RETURN - ALIGNMENTS
     5-4-2
     Front Line
    – 49 Yard Line, always expecting onside kick.
     Center sets the front wall ON the hash and leads straight up the hash until
    contact is made with first threat.
     Yard line will vary depending on scouting report of opposing kicker however,
    general rule of thumb is the 35 yard line
     Middle Line
    – All four of the middle line guys must have good hands to handle squib
    kicks and pooch kicks
    – Two full backs evenly spaced inside the hashes again depending on
    scouting report, general starting point is the 30 yard line
    – The full backs will set the back wall 15 yards in front of the ball
    – Two wing backs are lined up five yards deeper than the fullbacks just
    inside the numbers
     Returners
    – Hashes; Depth will depend on scouting report

    10
    KICKOFF RETURN – GROUP WORK
     Front/Middle Lines
    – First drill is one on one to the hash, chopping feet,
    locking on and widening
     Front/Middle Lines
    – Second drill is the same except the entire group goes
    together working on getting shoulder to shoulder
    while chopping feet
     Returners
    – Two ball drill
    – Communication (you/me, middle of field, and Go)

    11
    KICKOFF RETURN – REPS…
     Putting it all together
    – We will return it to the near hash
     If the ball is kicked straight down the middle we will have a
    pre-determined call for these kicks. (home/away, middle or
    left/right)
     If the ball is kicked outside the hash we return it up the
    hash. We never set the wall/return outside the hash
    – We work all scenario’s
     Left, Right and Middle Deep Kicks
     Pooch Kicks
     Squibb Kicks
     Surprise Onside Kicks

    PUNT RETURN - TECHNIQUES
     RETURN
    – If a team is able and trying to punt away from our returner we put two
    returners deep.
    – If they are punting to us we will use one returner and use extra man to
    double team the punt teams best cover guy.
    – We will align every guy head up, man for man. The LB takes the
    center.
    – The formation will dictate the direction of the return.
     Example: Double wing/Pro Style Punt we will pound and pin everything
    inside and return it outside (hash/numbers/sideline)
     PARTIAL BLOCK WITH RETURN
    – We will always have a return set up if block doesn’t occur.
     Example: (Block Right) We will bring the pressure from the right side. They
    will loop around to the left. The left side will all pound and pin inside and we
    will attempt to return the punt left.
