Simple Kicking has developed advanced metrics to help colleges correctly identify which prospects to evaluate further at camp.

What’s the pitch?

Wrong sport… Compared to other positions, the window to evaluate kickers closes quickly. We have distilled many data points into a single score that identifies who has the consistency to kick at the next level.

Measures the ability to make kicks. A high PAX indicates a top talent, 0 indicates the average, and a negative value represents below average.

PAX converts the percentage of an attempt into an expectation expressed as points. Expected points are then compared to actual points scored.

Measures the ability to make the ball through the center of the goal posts.

The middle third is 9 feet wide, which is same as the Simple Kicking Skinny Posts (Pro-Posts and Go-Posts.) Denoted by the GREEN markings.

Measurement to quantify precision.

Measures the distance (in feet) from the center of the goal posts to the location in which the ball crossed the uprights.

Measurement to quantify consistency under pressure.

Kicks attempted in 4Q/OT, point differential +/- 10 points.

Measures a kicker’s overall performance based on a scale of 1-100.

A rating system that consolidates an athlete’s PAX, “$” Zone %, PROX, and CLUTCH.

Simple Kicking estimates the return yards for each punt or kickoff.

Extrapolates return yard if the kick was fielded in an actual NFL Game. Net is calculated based on the distance, hang time, and accuracy of each attempt.

Measures the quality of each attempt.

Each attempt is compared the the NFL punting average for distance, hang time, and accuracy.

“A”: Exceeds average

“B”: Equal to the average

“C”: Below average

“X”: Miss hit.

Measures the operation time of handling the ball.

It’s the same as “Hand to Foot.”

Measures consistency for directional kicking/punting.

A kick is considered accurate if it satisfies 2 conditions:

  1. The ball hits between the hash mark and the boundary
  2. It travels within 5 yards of the distance target and the 1 yard line.*

*Kickoffs are considered accurate if they hit the endzone.

Measures precision for directional punting.

Measures the distance (in yards) between the boundary and the location of where the ball hits or is fielded.

Measures a player’s ability to maximize field position.

Based on the amount of available yards, the higher the number the better the player.

Measures the time between when steps begin to the time the ball is kicked.

Validate your feelings using facts.

It sounds like another ranking system?  Do you use 5 or 6 stars?

We show how the prospect compares to the top active FBS kickers.

Neither, our rating is based on actual results from 20,000 kicks collected from NFL and college play-by-play data.

Our kicking database is unlike any other because it compares actual FBS averages to evaluate where a prospect ranks. We use stats to rate kickers, not stars.

College coaches have access to recruit kickers & punters through the App, which is fully NCAA compliant.

Our goal is to see beyond the obvious.

Since traditional metrics do not tell the whole story, we have created our own which have been validated by dozens of NFL and college coaches.

We use advanced metrics to dumb it down.

Coaches say: “We only care if it crosses the uprights.” AND “Consistency”

But at the same time Coaches also want consistency. The top FBS kickers make most of their kicks down the MONEYZONE “$%” which is a leading indicator of consistency.

Our metrics make it easier for coaches to break a high school kicker performance.

      Are You Looking to Get Recruited?

      If you are a high school kicker or punter you might have heard the terms like scholarship and rankings in the same context as recruiting. The timeline typically goes slower than you anticipated, but you go with what you have heard of in the past from peers by attending various showcases and camps.

      A college coach has access to your video and charts of your kicks on the Simple Kicking App, a service for Football. To confirm approval, NCAA compliance officers and coaches may find this service on the list of approvals.

      How Does the App Work?

      Simple Kicking exists to help placekickers make more kicks.

      The App captures data so that you can learn about your kicking habits. Why is this important? Mainly, because many Kickers do not employ a full-time kicking coach. Left to their own devices, it is difficult to diagnose problems. Showing statistics, smart graphs, and spray charts, the App helps a Kicker identify problems quickly, saving crucial time. In other words the field goal tracker increases the development timing which means a kicker can improve field goal accuracy quicker, thus reaching potential quicker. The Simple Kicking app is like having a full-time kicking / punting Coach for less than the cost of an iPhone.

      kicking punting tracking mobile tablet app kickers punters

      For punting, the app helps punters punt to their target.

      Punting data is complex because there are many items to chart. In fact, a punt takes around 2 seconds from catch to punt, and another 4 seconds or so for the ball to land. Whereas, it might take some coaches a full 60 seconds to input the relevant data they would like to analyze. As a result, many coaches find it difficult to chart punts, and many punters do not chart their own. That’s why we created the punting tracking feature. Punters have told us that the app helps them identify their tendencies in directional punting. Why does that matter? Most punts are expected to be placed between the numbers and the sideline, around 40 yards or more from the line of scrimmage. The punt tracer, gives immediate feedback allowing punters and coaches to make adjustments. What we’ve seen is more punts landing closer to the intended targets. A repetition from above, the punt tracker or punt tracer is helpful in showing statistics, smart graphs, and spray charts. Simply put the App helps a Punter identify problems quickly, and who knows may become the next Ray Guy Award Winner?

      If there are more graphs, doesn’t that make it more technical?

      No, the App gives you simplified field goal tracker, punting tracker, or long snapping tracker, displaying information immediately. Identifying key areas of improvement, the App advances a Specialist’s (Kicker, Punter or Long Snapper) development because now he knows more about his habits. In other words, there is instant feedback on where the ball was kicked from to where it crossed the field goal posts or landed on the field. Many data points are captured. Such as the kick’s height and distance, location on field, operation time, and weather; temperature, wind speed & direction. For punting it measures the operation time (op time) catch to kick, hand to foot, hang time, distance, direction, and result.

      The App has a place for Parents & Coaches to review the Specialist’s data in the Coaching Dashboard. Rather than the data living inside the Specialist’s head, Coaches & Parents are encouraged to review the information, participating in the Specialist’s development. Having additional support from Parents, Coaches, and the App, Specialist’s feel more fortified and reinforced in their practice.

      How does the App help me get more exposure for a potential college scholarship?

      Coaches will find the talent, as long as it is developing. Specialists who use the App might be improving and Coaches are watching. The App connects Coaches and Specialists together in an easy system.

      Simple Kicking is an app that allows you to track your kicking data so you have instant feedback available on your iPhone or iPad. Whether you are a Junior High/High School, NCAA (FBS, FCS) or Pro Kicker (NFL, XFL) you can start collecting kicking data.
