My son ended up on the football team even though he played soccer and almost never went to football practice. The football coach saw him punt a soccer ball (he was a goalie) the length of the soccer field. He had him try it with a football. He became the punter for the football team. He tried place kicking. But he didn’t have time to spend on learning to elevate the ball. The previous soccer/kicker went to kicking camp and kicked for a college in D1. The football players didn’t tease him much (it was all in good fun except one kid) since they knew he could have played football.
