12 year old Punter?

Question

okay, You have to believe me on this! I was at our high schools practice field with one of my friends and we were seeing how good we Punted and I actually Punted the football 63 yards.... I was wondering what does this mean for me and does it look like I should follow up on this since I used to play football but not anymore? and also I dont play Soccer so I dont know how I learned to punt it this far.

Answer 1

I think you could make it on your high school's team. I saw you answered another question with something about Hilliard Davidson. Nice. D1 Champs. My school plays playoff game's at Davidson sometimes (we lost in the D3 Championships). But anyways i really envy u if u did punt that far (not that I dont believe you). Practice, practice, practice till high school and make the team. Don't waste your talent; espescially with all of us out here with a lot less.

Answer 2

If you can punt it 63 yards and I struggle punting it 30 yards you have some talent.Keep on trying and practicing and someday,after your out of high school maybe you can get a tryout in the NFL.If you can regulary kick that far work on your accuracy.63 yards is far,thats incredible for a starting NFL punter,most only average 40-45 yards.And Preston 40 yards is about average for an NFL punter so if it did roll 23, yards it's still good.

Answer 3

Not too amazing i could punt a good 60 years too when i was 13. Also, one kick means alot, but not everything, you should have some hang time, and accuracy for the corner pockets. But with some good practice you could be a good placekicker. Practice by kicking with weights on your feet (1lb, not much) and try kicking into field goals for accuracy. Join a local team for some game experience and call over a punt returner friend for some extra help and practice. Remember, practice makes perfect.

Answer 4

how much times did you punt? did you hit 63 yards constantly, or only one time. because one time there could be alot of factors that go into it (wind, air resistance, etc.)

the key is if you want to go ahead and try when you hit High School then go ahead. try it out and see if it works out. that is what high school football is mostly, trying out to see what part you are good at.

if you do really good then you can try to go a football school for college. some people do mature physically early, so you can kick very well like a much older person, but once you are in college, then you can really see what you can do with people of supposedly the same level

Answer 5

if you can punt that far and haven't practiced and you don't pursue this you would be a severe waste of talent. I only wish i could punt like that. Instead im just a longsnapper. But the real question is if you can kick it 63 yards every time and if you have any hangtime.

Answer 6

Nice punt, son. If you enjoy the game, go for it. You don't have to be a super athlete to make it as a punter in the pros. If you really want it though, you need to practice your butt off. Keep kicking.
Ari, I don't think he meant to go into the NFL right now....jeez.

Answer 7

So you're 12 years old!!! WOW ya, you have some serious talent and you should use it you need to practice and if you get good enough then you may get a full scholarship to college you have some major skills and many guys would kill to have that...

Answer 8

63 in the air or including rolling? It isn't hard if it's rolling... You could try out for the HS team though good luck

Answer 9

you could have, but try to punt know and see how far it went

Answer 10

no you didnt punt 63 yards for shi(t. your lying and umm make sure it was in the air. it probably hit 40 yards and rolled 23 yards
