Welcome to Don Taylor's Kicking Instruction. Within this site you'll find information on my placekicking and punting instructional service.
I work with only one student at a time. It's very simple, individualized instruction is much more effective than group learning. I can teach more in a one day intensive session then most kids will learn in a two or three day camp. In addition the $150.00 fee is very competitive compared to the price of most camps. I have operated my sessions for ten years and have been very successful. I've worked with over 170 students from throughout the state of Florida and the past five years I've had students visit from the following states, Alabama, Texas, California, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Over a third of all students have returned for follow-up sessions. In several cases I've worked with students for up to five years. The ability level of students ranges from Pop Warner to the NFL. In addition, a large majority of my students have attended camps and stated that due to the quality and method of instruction, they have learned more at one of my sessions then at a two or three day camp. I've received the same comments from parents of these students who have attended a camp. As I stated above you can expect to receive an intensive one day session of individualized instruction including a review of tape in a frame by frame manner that will analyze your technique in detail. You will also receive a written evaluation of your technique to take with you that day. I make no claims of offering scholarships or having coaches present but the instruction you receive will prepare you for any camp, combine, or try-out you may be thinking of attending at any level. Please take the time to go to my Archives link and you'll see some of my past students.

"When it comes to kicking field goals it's not how far, it's how many. Focus on consistency not distance."
Coach Taylor
Danny Boyd kicking for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I worked with Danny since he was a freshman in high school at Southeast High School. He had no other kicking coach nor did he attend any kicking camps.
Christian Adams was named to the Division III All- American Team as the Third Team Punter. This is the second year in a row Christian has been named as an All-American. He made last years team as the Second Team Punter.
Following is an excerpt from a letter I received from Christian's parents shortly after the season.
"Don't know if we told you before, but Christian told us many years ago that first lesson with you (when he was a freshman in high school) he learned so much. He then attended *** Camp for several days and was so disappointed. He learned much more in the short time with you than the days at *** Camp.
He said Coach Taylor is the best. We all realize Christian wouldn't have done as well without you adjusting his techniques, etc. and we thank you for that."
Craig Coffin
Southern Illinois
Craig was named to the All-Gateway Conference Second Team and also the AP 1-AA All-American 2nd Team as a place-kicker. Craig led the conference in scoring with 114 points. He made 66-66 extra points with a current streak of 74 in a row and made 13-15 field goals.
Charlie Edwards of Tift County High School in Tifton, Georgia was named to the 2005 All State Class 5A 1st Team Offense as the place-kicker. Charlie made 18 of 24 FG attempts which was one short of the Georgia state record held by Chris Gardocki.
