DIY Place Kicker Practice Tee

My son is an aspiring Place Kicker. The High yesterday was 34F outside yesterday, so I wasn't about to be his Lucy.

So, A quick trip to Lowes and I present to you A Place Kicker Practice Tee

Supplies

Saw, Cutoff wheel on a 4" grinder, hack saw or some means of cutting the PVC Pipe

(1) 1/2" Schd. 40 PVC Pipe - 5'-0" long

From This Cut (3) pieces 16" long and (1) piece 5" long

(3) 1/2" PVC Caps

(2) 1/2" PVC 45's

Ether:

(1) 3/4" PVC Tee

(1) 3/4" to 1/2" Reducing Bushing

or

(1) 3/4" x 1/2" Reducing Tee (This is a specialty part and would cost more then the sum of the previous option.

All in at Lowes I spent less than $9.00 including sales tax,

I have tagged all the parts labeled in the photo.

Assemble a Cap to One End of Each 16" Piece of 1/2" PVC Pipe

No need for PVC Cement. It is smelly, and is just not needed. We are not holding back 60PSI in water pressure. Just use a table or bench and lean into the pipe with the fitting attached and you will have a hard time ever getting them to part ways

Assemble a 45 Onto 2 of the 16" Pieces of Pipe

Henceforth know as legs

Put the 5" Piece of Pipe in One 45, Slide on the Tee and Then Put on the Other Leg

Leave just snug for the moment

Put the Bushing on the Last Piece of Pipe Cut 16" Long

Henceforth known as the arm

Assemble the Bushing End of the Arm Into the Tee

Now, Squish Each Leg Assembly in Towards the Tee Until There Is a Friction Fit

You want the arm to rotate with some force, but not flop freely. This can be adjusted easily - thus no cement!!

Kick That Pig Skin!!

And Remember - LACES OUT!!!!
