MEET COACH CONTRATTO

About

With more than 12 years experience in playing and coaching football, Coach Contratto focuses on training athletes to become great performers. He specializes in training players at College and High School levels, to develop and enhance skills and assisting them to become a top Special Teams player.

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 create a 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! I encourage these athletes to consider this path.

Currently Coach Contratto is a Special Teams Coach and Analyst at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. Additionally, he is an Assistant Specialist Coach for two nationally recognized Training programs.

If you are looking for a Coach who can develop skills for your beginner or experienced player, I am the coach that can grow these skills, and the love of the sport!

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.
