ABSTRACT:
A football kicking tee is disclosed which is especially useful by soccer style kickers wherein a horizontal ball supporting platform has three depending legs that support the tee above the football turf at a desired height, two upright elements and a third upright member at the rear of the tee platform strategically located to engage the sidewall of the football and hold it upright until kicked even under relatively windy conditions. The rear support elements are positioned along an imaginary line therebetween which is at an angle to an imaginary fore and aft line bisecting the platform and parallel to the intended flight path of the ball. As a result, there is minimal, if any, contact of the upper instep of the kicker's foot with the support elements as the kicker's foot moves into impacting engagement with the upright football. The tee is useful for kick-off practice and game kick-offs as well as field goals or field goal practice.
