What is TDKicking Academy?
TDKicking Academy is an affordable year-round academy that provides game-like preparation for kickers and punters. It is for those who dream about kicking game winning field goals and punting bombs out of their own end zone in a packed stadium of screaming fans, as well as for kids just starting to kick on a Pop Warner team. Whether you play on a Junior Varsity team or a Texas High School State Championship football team, TDKicking Academy has something to offer. Our unique staff of Healthy Living, Wellness and Yoga coaches, has over 20 years of kicking and punting experience, a passion for coaching and the ability to tailor coaching methods to each student’s unique learning style. TDKA provides live snappers and holders at every private and small group session. Our ability to simulate game like kicking and punting situations in a variety of ways and conditions builds confidence and results in greater success on game day. Coach Douglas' ElitePreparation® teaches the secrets of maintaining a healthy body, a mental edge and staying injury free while sharpening skills, adding distance and increasing accuracy.
Why TDKicking Academy?
At TDKicking Academy we know firsthand what it feels like to be in the kicking shoes of grade school, high school and elite college kickers and punters. We also know what it takes to advance up the ladder of success by combining skill, discipline and hard work to become a physically fit and mentally strong specialist. Most of the kicking camps and clinics around the country are only offered during the summer months and simply provide a free T-shirt, a PVC pipe holder and no snappers while they split campers into two large groups on opposite sides of the field.
TDKicking Academy’s Founder Tim Douglas has designed ElitePreparation® for his EliteProgram® students to sharpen their skill sets and take their game preparation to the next level, while providing an EliteOpportunity® to be recruited and offered Division One scholarships.

Coach Douglas uses integrity, personal relationships and kicking experiences to provide an opportunity for students to have success both on and off the football field.
John Goss is a former punter, kicker and graduate of Michigan State University. He played for Coach Douglas at Scottsdale Community College, works in the health care field and actively competes in triathlons.

He brings real life knowledge about understanding one self, lifestyle choices and the importance of keeping a clear and relaxed mind when dealing with the pressures and frustrations of being a specialist in the modern day game of football.

"I had the privilege of playing alongside Tim Douglas on the 1994 Plano Senior High School State Championship Football team. As a player, game situations arise where critical decisions
are made purely based on the talent and skill set of the kicker. A coach’s confidence in his kicking game is a major asset in evaluating a game plan, and in making game time decisions.
As I continued on as a player at Texas A&M and in the NFL, this was even more prevalent. Arguably,
the kicker is one of the MOST important positions on the field."
"Tim's approach to the position is far more than how to lineup and kick the ball...it's a knowledge that far supersedes the basics. Tim looks at the position from a 360-degree point of view -- field position
wind direction, down & distance, score, injuries, game clock, defensive positions and more.
Going from a good player to great player is the difference in truly learning the position from every angle,
and that is what Tim brings to the table."
"As an Offensive Lineman, there was always the confidence in knowing your kicker would come through in the most pressure-filled situations I had that type of confidence in Tim…
he’s been there, plain and simple,
he knows what it takes.”
