Coach Zauner Kicking Camps 2009


Coach Zauner's Kicking Specialist Camp at River Falls coming in 2009.


This specialists camp will be for junior and senior high school football players. Dates and fees will be announced in December.


If you want to take Your Kicking Game to Your Highest level, then come work with me at this kicking camp in River Falls, Wisconsin. I have now consulted or coached 19 Pro Bowlers and many other NFL Kicking Specialists throughout my career. Click here for my One on One Lessons.

The River Falls Kicking Camp was the original kicking camp in the country. It was started by the former Head Football Coach at the University of Wisconsin River Falls, Mike Farley. Approximately 38 years ago (give or take a year).




Head Football Coach at River Falls, John O'Grady is still the camp organizer and director. John and I have decide to combine our forces and run the camp together. It will now be named Coach Zauner's Kicking Specialist Camp at River Falls.

At the River Falls Kicking Camp we have always brought in top notch NFL players as head liners.

Last year we had punter Derrick Frost working with our punters. Derrick this season started with the Washington Redskins but ended up with the Green Bay Packers (below).



For the last four years former University of Wisconsin and current Baltimore Ravens Long Snapper, Matt Katula worked with our group of snappers. He will most likely be on hand again this year for a return performance. He is a native of Brookfield, Wisconsin.

NFL Head Liners and College Counselors:

In 2009 the final schedule has not been set yet. The NFL Head Liners and the College Kicking, Punting and Snapping Counselors have not been selected.

I have now worked the River Falls Kicking Camp for 34 years and You the Kicking Specialist always comes first. I promise that if you attend the Coach Zauner Kicking Speciality Camp in 2009, you will have the highest quality instruction from some of the best instructors in the country.

Also, if you are a college kicking specialist and would like to work the River Falls Camp or any of my camps this summer please contact me and send your resume by email to: gzauner@aol.com I will put you on a list of candidates.



Campers will be individually video taped and analyzed in a classroom setting.

Straight-On Kicking Specialists:


The River Falls Kickers Camp is still one of the only camps around that still works and trains Straight-On Kicking Specialists




Other Kicking Camp Site Options:

Due to the summer heat, the length and cost of travel to Arizona or for many kicking specialists that have expressed an interest in working with me but can't afford the cost of One on One Lessons I am exploring several other locations and options during the summer months in 2009

Sometime before and after the River Falls Camp in June, July and August of 2009 I will be in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Minneapolis, Minnesota areas. During my stay I will be organizing Smaller Group Kicking Camps or Sessions for College and Free Agent Kicking Specialists. Also during this time I will still be available for One on One Lessons.

So, if your a college kicker, punter or snapper and want to work with me in a small group setting stay tuned for more information that will be posted on my website: www.coachzauner.com.

I am also exploring other areas?
