Where Technique and Passion Collide

THEKICKISUP Punting Program is designed to provide participants with an opportunity to enhance and refine their skill in the area of punting.

"Christian Vitale is one of the best special teams coaches in the state of Michigan. His commitment to the fundamentals of kicking and punting have guided many young men to greatness at both the high school and college level. I was invited to Christian's "Special Ops" camp this past year and was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge of special teams and his ability to coach the ins and outs of kicking a football. I would highly recommend Christian and his camp to anyone seeking to improve as a punter."
