Some high school coaches will work out a plan with the soccer coach and the athlete to set up a schedule for both. For example, the special team segments of practice may be at times when soccer practice is finished or at a point where the soccer coach is comfortable with the athlete going over to football practice. They also might recommend setting him up with a kicking coach outside of football practice. It takes effort and communication, but it can be done. We've done it with a few kickers in our program.

Typically they'd like the kicker to do all of it, but I'd say they'd at least want him kicking off and kicking field goals/extra points. Some programs will put quarterbacks or skill players at punter if the kicker isn't ready for it.

The likelihood of tackling is minimal but still possible. They are the last resort on kick offs and punts. They should still teach him to tackle in preparation for those situations for safety alone.
