How to Punt a Football - Ray Guy

 
THE BASICS
STANCE AND BODY POSITION
Whereas college and pro punters set up 15 yards from the LOS (line of scrimmage), high school, punters are usually taught to set up about 12 yards back. Every punter should place his punting foot on a direct line with the ball or on a line that splits the centers crotch
COACHING POINTS:
  • The exact depth of the alignment may vary with the ability of the long snapper. Since the college / pro snappers are more specialized advanced, they have the strength and accuracy to deliver the ball to a punter15 yards back...maximizing the distance of the oncoming rush.
  • The punter must assume a comfortable, relaxed and balanced stance that will enable him to quickly adjust to the ball...left, right, up or down.
