Generally, there are three ways to kick a rugby ball. What styles do you use when kicking a rugby ball? Understanding your own technique and then how to make that technique consistent is key to becoming a better kicker. Film yourself during a kicking session, go through each of the 10 pillars of goal kicking, and make some notes.

Of the thousands of kicking techniques I've seen, most kicks fall into these three categories; hurdle kick, foot down kick, and hop kick. In this video I go through each style in detail.
00:27 Hurdle Kick
You will have seen this in American Football for the kick off. A huge run up with almost out of control follow through. But there is a method to the madness! This style is use to create a huge amount of momentum and power. Because accuracy isn’t as important on a kick off players use this to create the MAX power, distance and hang time on the kick.
1:07 Foot Down Kick
Getting your kicking foot straight down to the ground after impact is useful for developing momentum and getting bodyweight to the target. I use this style in drill format and also when kicking in general play. You see a lot of this style in AFL Australian Rules where chasing the kick and staying active in play is important.
2:10 Hop Kick
The most common style you see in modern kickers today. Jonny Sexton, Beauden Barrett, Owen Farrell, Hayden Parker etc. The Hop of your plant foot allow your kicking leg to stay in the follow through and body to “stay in the kick” for longer. I find this to be the most accurate style across the board.
