A 1st team All-State and Blue Chip Illustrated All-American kicker out of DeMatha Catholic High School (MD), Lee McDonald signed a full scholarship to Rutgers University from where he earned a BA in 1999 and a Master's in Psychology in 2002. The former Scarlet Knight is known for his booming kickoffs and 1999 game winning overtime field goal that upset the Syracuse Orangemen 24-21 in front of a national TV audience. A four-year kickoff specialist and two year starter, McDonald also garnered Special Teams Player of the Week honors twice during his career and was named to the Big East Conference All-Academic Team in 1998 and 1999.
McDonald then kicked for the Buffalo Destroyers of the Arena Football League and the Norfolk Nighthawks where he set several Arena 2 football kicking records including most field goals in one game (6) that earned him AF2 Player of the Week honors. After serious injuries cut short his playing career, McDonald spent three years as an athletic academic advisor with the Rutgers University football program where he voluntarily coached kickers and punters. He is now a certified NJ school counselor and assistant football coach at North Brunswick (NJ) High School. McDonald is a member of both the New Jersey and American Football Coaches Association and provides private training for many high school and college level players. His yearly speaking engagements include the Nike Football Coach of the Year Clinic and Rivals.com Recruiting Junior Day.

Marc Feuerbach is the director of Premier Kicking and he has a deep love for the kicking game. He grew up in Coral Springs, FL and played club soccer his entire youth and early teenage years. After giving football a chance in high school, he decided to stay with it but turn his attention to becoming a full time kicker. Although he got into kicking a little late, Marc was still 2nd team all state kicker his senior year and turned down numerous opportunities to play Division II football because he wanted to pursue his goal of playing Division I football. In college, he met NFL kicking coach Doug Blevins and began to train under him. He was given the opportunity to walk on at Florida State University, but a sudden leg injury hindered his ability and Marc withdrew from the university. Before re-enrolling at the University of Florida to finish his college degree, Marc spent the semester working with Coach Blevins training different high school, college, and professional kickers. It was here that he was truly able to learn from the best in the business. After graduating from college, Marc accepted a job at Gordon Central High School in Calhoun, GA where he teaches special education, and used to coach special teams and tight ends. After taking a few years off of kicking, he decided to give it another shot and was named the starter for the 2005 Atlantic Conference Champions Rome Renegades of the National Indoor Football League. A second sudden leg injury in his career put Marc on the injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
Through his two injuries, Coach Feuerbach thanks God for the coaching lessons and opportunities that have risen from the both of them. He feels without the injuries, he would not have learned or gained the experience that makes him the coach he is today. He has been there as one trying to pursue a dream and knows the do's and dont's of the business. He is not in this business to make a quick dollar, but to teach you the fundamentals of kicking/punting and help you reach the next level. It is his goal to help you achieve your full potential as both a kicker/punter and as an individual.
Retired 9 Year NFL All-Pro Kicker Mike Hollis!
With the affiliation of Jacksonville Ice & Sportsplex, ProForm Kicking Academy offers one of the most detailed kicking, punting, and long/short snapping academies in the nation. With the ability to train within a private environment inside a 55,000 square foot sports facility, all athletes can train year around...despite the weather conditions! This environment also allows the athlete to focus on form and technique, maximizing the potential for perfecting their swing. Unlike many other kicking camps out there, ProForm Kicking Academy focuses on the many very specific attributes that are involved within each swing of the leg. Much like the golf swing, there are a number of problematic issues that need to be addressed on a consistent basis. It takes very experienced coaches to identify each of these specific movements and correct them when needed. The PKA coaches have 30+ combined years of recognizing proper and improper movements within the kicking and punting motions...not only by visually seeing them, but by experiencing them as well. Both Coach Hollis and Coach Gaetano have kicked thousands of footballs at all levels and have learned to identify and correct any problems they have encountered. That is what separates an average kicker from a great kicker...and ProForm Kicking Academy will assist in that transformation!
ProForm Kicking Academy Coaches:
Mike Hollis, retired NFL kicker of 9 years. Mike played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, and New York Giants. He represented the AFC in the 1998 Pro Bowl in Hawaii and presently ranks in the top 20 in overall field goal accuracy in NFL history. Mike has worked with 5 different Pro Bowl punters during his NFL career, learning from and coaching each of them.
Jim Gaetano, long time high school, college, and professional kicking coach (15 years with Mike Hollis). Jim has had numerous tryouts with NFL teams and spent the 1987 preseason with the Kansas City Chiefs. He has coached many NFL kickers and punters including All Pro Punter Brian Moorman of the Buffalo Bills. In addition, a former NFL agent of 9 years, Jim has established solid relationships with college and NFL coaches!
Lance Ortega is the President and Director of Programs for San Diego School of Football. Lance played collegiately at Western Michigan University of the Mid-American Conference. Recruited to WMU as a punter out of Grossmont Community College (CA), Lance has very rare insight into playing Division 1A College Football as a punter, placekicker, long snapper, and short snapper. He played each of these positions at the major college level. Lance punted and snapped for field goals as a junior. As a senior, after three punt snaps (in one game) over his head, Lance became the team's deep snapper while serving as the backup placekicker both years.
In 1995, Lance was one of the founders of ABCD Kicking Camps (With NFLers Evan Arapostathis, Darren Bennett, John Carney, and Brad Daluiso). There would be no San Diego School of Football without ABCD. Both kicking programs were founded by finding kids of character and providing them with a level of coaching and support like they would receive at no other time in their playing career. In 2008, San Diego School of Kicking was renamed to College-Prep Kicking Academy.

My goal is to expose young kickers to some of the technical aspects of kicking, while also shedding light on training techniques off of the field. We will break down film of each camper, which will allow them to see their progress from the beginning of camp to the end. I have been able to keep coach to camper ratios low over the last five years. My staff has always been top notch. We have brought in different kickers and punters that have NFL, AFL, and CFL experience. I will always strive to give our campers the best experience possible, whether that is exposing them to top professional talent or even top-level college specialists.
