A kicking strap for use by individuals engaged in kicking a football from a kicking tee, such as when place kicking the football in order to score a point after a touchdown or in order to score a field goal or when kicking off. The strap includes two components, one of which is a relatively wide strap which encircles the leg just below the knee and a relatively narrow strap attached to the wide strap and extending under the toe portion of a football shoe immediately rearwardly of the forwardmost cleats. The narrow strap is adjustably connected to the wide strap to enable the kicking strap to be effectively used by individuals having different leg and foot dimensions and physiological characteristics. The kicking strap functions to assure rigidity of the foot and ankle during the kicking motion which is essential to accuracy of the kick and distance obtained since the kicking strap enables maximum power of the leg swing to be transferred to the portion of the foot and football shoe which actually engages the football.
