The Launchpad for Special Teams Success
A football game can flip in an instant during a kickoff. Whether your kicker needs maximum hang time to pin the opponent deep, or you are dialing up a surprise onside kick to steal a possession, having the correct kicking tee is absolutely vital. Athletic directors and special teams coordinators know that a standard, one-size-fits-all tee doesn't cut it for a nuanced kicking game. Our 2026 collection focuses on professional-grade, molded rubber tees designed to withstand massive impact forces without warping or losing their grip on the ball.
A Tee for Every Kicking Scenario
We stock specialized kicking hardware to ensure your kicker has exactly what they need for the situation at hand:
- Standard 1" and 2" Kickoff Tees: The reliable workhorses of the kicking game. We offer traditional block tees and tripod styles that securely cradle the ball in an upright or slightly tilted position, giving kickers a clear striking surface.
- Multi-Purpose Kicking Stations: Looking for versatility in the equipment bag? We carry options like the Toe-Tal Tee 4-in-1, which provides multiple height and angle configurations (including 1" and 2" kickoff and extra-point options) all within a single piece of equipment.
- Onside & Squib Tees: Execution is everything on an onside kick. We offer advanced designs like the Triplex Stealth 3-Way Kicking Tee, which features a reduced surface area to limit toe friction, a reshaped middle recess for driving hard squib kicks, and a specialized side notch specifically angled to execute the perfect high-bouncing onside kick.
- Extra Point Blocks: Heavy-duty, flat rubber blocks designed to give kickers a slight, stable elevation advantage during field goals and PATs (where permitted by specific league rules).

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are 2-inch kicking tees legal for our games?
It depends entirely on your league's governing body. Under NFHS (High School) rules, kickers are generally permitted to use a tee that elevates the ball up to 2 inches off the ground. However, under NCAA (College) rules, kickers are strictly restricted to a maximum tee height of 1 inch. Always consult your current league rulebook before purchasing game-day equipment.
2. What makes a tee designed for "onside kicks" different?
Standard tees are designed to hold the ball upright for maximum distance. An onside or "3-way" tee (like the Triplex Stealth or Ground Zero models) features a specialized notch carved into the side or front lip. This allows the kicker to lay the ball almost flat or securely prop it at a sharp forward angle, which is required to drive the ball directly into the turf and force a high bounce.
3. What is the advantage of a tee with a "reduced surface area"?
Some advanced tees scallop or cut away the rubber where the ball rests. This means the very tip of the football doesn't actually touch the tee. By reducing the amount of rubber touching the ball, there is less friction and less risk of the kicker's toe catching the thick rubber edge, resulting in a cleaner strike and greater distance.
4. Can these tees be used on artificial turf?
Yes. All of our molded rubber kicking tees have flat, weighted bases that sit perfectly flush on both natural grass and modern artificial turf surfaces without sliding upon impact.
5. Do you accept school purchase orders for special teams equipment?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and special teams coordinators can easily submit a formal PO to purchase kicking tees, field goal posts, kicking nets, and official game footballs.
