About this video
Willie Fritz takes the punt team from A to Z in this special teams coaching video from the University of Central Missouri. Coach Fritz, who averaged two and a half hours of special teams practice a week, treats the punt as one of the most critical areas of the kicking game: the objectives of the punt team, stance and alignment, the protection phase and individual blocking assignments, then coverage lanes and responsibilities. Every one of the 11 positions gets its own detail on technique and overall responsibility, and the session includes a statistical analysis you can use to chart your own punt team's success.

Frequently asked questions
What does The UCM Punt Team cover?
Coach Fritz's punt team from objectives through coverage: stance and alignment, the protection phase and individual blocking assignments for all 11 positions, coverage lanes and responsibilities, spread and pooch punt applications and a statistical analysis for charting your punt team.
Is 105 minutes on the punt team meant for high school coaches too?
Yes. The teaching goes position by position, so a high school special teams coordinator can install it as completely as a college staff; the depth is the point, since Coach Fritz considers the punt team one of the most critical areas of special teams.
