Punt Protection and Coverage

© More from this issue

At Olivet Nazarene University we prioritize our special teams as follows (in order of importance): 1. Punt Protections and Coverage 2. Kickoff Coverage 3. Extra Point Protection 4. Punt Return and 5. Kickoff Return. Time spent on a particular special team unit is based on our priority list; thus, we will spend more time and effort on the punting game than we would spend on the kickoff return. This article will focus on our number one priority – Punt Protection and Coverage.
