Private Kicking Lessons In North Georgia
At FieldGoalKicker.com, we offer private kicking lessons (dedicated instructor sessions) around the North Georgia (Atlanta) area.
Unlike group clinics, private kicking lesson sessions consist of one student and one instructor only. These sessions are the quickest and easiest to schedule when it’s much more convenient for parents and students.
Private kicking lessons are ideal for beginners because they often require more focus to get started than we can provide in a small group.
They are also ideal for advanced kickers who want to focus on one specific area like correcting a habitual hook/push, onside kick development or detailed charting sessions, etc.
Some students simply need more time each month than a clinic session or two, as well, they may have conflicts for those clinics many times.
Private lessons are offered almost any time of the week or weekend in most cases.

Each private kicking lesson is either 1 or 1.5 hours long depending on preference. We will generally focus on one discipline only with a 60 minute lesson due to time constraints, like field goal kicking, punting or kick-offs. However, with the 90 minute sessions it’s possible to cover at least 2 areas effectively.
I recommend 90 minute sessions for beginners or first lesson students. Although my regular students are typically 60 minute sessions once all fundamentals are out of the way, there’s a bunch to cover in those initial sessions when we are just learning to kick. Later, with fundamentals out of the way, we do start to focus on drill work and charting, etc.
We WILL work with video, and we may time/chart kicks depending on the level student I am working with. I often provide samples of other kickers/punters for visuals as well as instant video review of a student as kicks are attempted. This is a highly effective method of learning, as we must tie in what the technique feels like versus what it ‘looks’ like. Most students immediately grasp what we are trying to modify once they see themselves on video while talking through a lesson.
Each lesson is scheduled on a case by case basis, I am flexible. I generally ask a parent or student what works with their schedule first (weekends, week nights, etc) and then offer our availability based on our schedules during those general times.
A private lesson focuses on learning or improving field goal kicking, kick-offs or punts. We can focus on one discipline or all three in a session, depending on the needs/desires of the student.
Bring what you have. Basics include soccer or kicking cleats of course, but I can provide various blocks, tees, holders and footballs if needed. We have footballs in sizes for both high school as well as middle school age groups. However, additional footballs a student brings will mean less ball shagging and more productive time teaching. Also, don’t forget water or a sports drink on a hot day.
Private kicking lessons are generally offered on turf football fields in public parks around the Canton, Cumming and Milton/Alpharetta areas in North Georgia. Since I can’t technically ‘reserve’ a park field for a private lesson, there are several fields within 5-15 minutes drive of each other in these locations.
This means that if we arrive for a lesson and a field is unavailable due to a youth soccer or lacrosse game, we’ll either need to reschedule or try the closest park field to that location.
LOCATION #1 (Primary)
I generally work out of Cherokee Veterans Park on Highway 20. Though lacrosse has taken over most of the turf fields around the state, there are also several grass athletic fields which are available as an immediate backup should we have to wait to jump on the turf field for a private lesson.

LOCATION #2 (Milton)
I have done lots of lessons at Bell Memorial Park over the past couple of years. The park is brand new with new turf football fields and nets behind the posts, really first class for kicking lessons. However, depending on the time of year, these fields can also be covered up with lacrosse so I have to work out of Cherokee Veterans Park listed above quite a bit these days. This is always a great park if available!

LOCATION #3 (Woodstock)
I’ve taught several lessons at JJ Biello park. The park has several fields to work on BUT they are grass, unlike the turf fields at the other locations. That simply means that they need to be dry for the lesson to be productive. If it has rained within up to 24 hours from the scheduled time, we might consider rescheduling or trying a different location.

LOCATION #4 (Cumming)
This is an interesting park that I recently began using more as the larger parks have filled up with youth sports games. There are two turf football fields, one up front by the road, and one kind of hidden in the far back of the park. It seems to be primarily a baseball park, so I haven’t seen the crazy practice/game schedules with lacrosse and soccer leagues. In fact, this has been my backup field on multiple occasions when the other parks were full.
