Coach has learned that Kicking and Punting are both an art and a science. It requires continuous focus on practicing and 1-on-1 feedback sessions using on the field sessions, then film reviews to enhance your athletic form. His initial step is to identify and refine your current foundational skills, then creates a custom plan to build upon and
reinforce these as a path to increased success while having fun playing football.
Soccer players can make great kickers and / or punters, too! We encourage these athletes to consider this path.

Coach Contratto has been a great asset to my son’s success as both a kicker and punter. His attention to detail and genuine interest as a coach has been very beneficial to his players and ultimately the team’s success.
- Floyd, parent
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to play under Coach Contratto during my graduate season at UNC Charlotte. His expertise and guidance elevated every aspect of my kicking game—from refining my technique in drills to enhancing my situational IQ on the field. Coach Contratto is not only an exceptional coach with a deep understanding of the kicking game but also a true friend. His mentorship was instrumental in my transformation from a D3 specialist into an FBS all-conference player.
- Grant G, player
Coach Contratto pushed me to be my best and taught me how to really work hard. He created an amazing environment among our special teams players, and he believed in me and gave me courage in my high-pressure moments.

My time with Coach CC was nothing compared to any coach I’ve been with. A guy who has so much knowledge in Special Teams, but a guy that you can talk to about any topic A through Z. Made an impact in my life on and off field. - kid I coached at Charlotte that transferred to Pittsburgh
- AT, player
In the 2 years that Coach CC coached me, he has been the best coach that I have had
and the one that cares the most. He knows so much about the kicking world and is one
of the main reasons for my success in football and life. Best coach I could have asked
for.
