"I wanted to follow up and thank you both again for a super weekend.  My son and I had a blast yet again, and every year gets better.  You guys do a great job with your personal instruction as well as having some of the top college players/instructors in the country.  I was happy to give an interview, but wanted to send an email also.

 

As a parent of a 2012 Sophomore, I only wish we had started earlier than we did.  We have been with you guys for almost two years now, and the benefits are beyond the just the great instruction.  Your attention to detail in every aspect of your program make it the best on the country.  The thing my son and I like the most are the personal relationships you have forged with us, through the camps and also through all of the social media like Facebook, Twitter, etc.  Keeping that line of communication going throughout the year makes us feel like we are part of something special.  You do a great job of balancing your product and promoting competition among the kids that keep them excited all year.  If anyone is not following you via Facebook or Twitter, they are truly missing out on one of the best elements of your program.  Thank you for your candidness, objectivity and sincerity in your instruction and communication.  Thank you also for all that you have done to help my son grow as a LS and as a young man.  It is great to have influences like the two of you beyond what we can give them as parents."

Parent - GA - 2010

"We just want to pass along our Thanks for such a great National Event!  Once again, it was run flawlessly.  Our son comes away from these camps with more and more enthusiasm each time.The addition of the "games" on Twitter was a big hit with the snappers....and the parents.  Can't wait until May!"

Parent - SC - 2010

"Rubio -- I can not thank you enough for the instruction and confidence that my son has gotten through participating in your camps. We will always be thankful that we were introduced to you and CSK and the exposure that my son received from this relationship. The result is a scholarship to a major division one college!  He could not have done it without you!'

Parent - MS - 2010

"I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help during and as a follow-up to the camp !!

Not only are you a very good teacher and motivator, you are also a true gentleman !

Parent - TX - 2010

Long Snapper - KS - 2010

 

"He (we) have learned a lot since our first snapping camp at Alabama last June. I have to give you all the credit for creating a drive in my son. When we left that camp he was determined to be the best snapper he could be. You do a great job of connecting with the guys and have a real gift when it comes to instruction."

Parent - MS - 2010

"As we sit back and reflect on the past year, we are so grateful that we met you and are so appreciative of what you have done for our son. Thank you."

Parent - SC - 2010

"What I really enjoy at your camps, and most noticably at this one, is the comraderie among the competitors.  While they are out to beat each other, they still exhibit wonderful sportsmanship and are very supportive of each other.  And that begins with you.  You can tell each and every one of these kids has the utmost respect for you and the the counselors.  And you guys enthusiastically show the same for them.  A terrific envioronment in which to learn."

Parent - IL - 2010

"Another well run and worth while camp, congratulations.  I can only imagine the planning and organization that goes into putting on an event with those many participants.  You run on time and there is never any chaos.  Both you and Sailer should be quite pleased with the business you have developed. It is great to see the camaraderie that has developed among the snappers in his class and with your student instructors."

Parent - CA - 2010

"Enjoyed your event, as always, first rate!"

Parent - AZ - 2010

"I've been keeping up with the EVENT all weekend through the website.

You guys have done a phenomenal job, especially with communication. Thanks for all the updates.I am impressed how up to the minute everything was.Great stuff.

Honestly, I believe your camp has done more for building his confidence and motivating him than any other camp or event I can think of.  Now, he truly believes his goals are attainable. He's got his mind set on doing what it takes to play football at the next level.  Thanks so much"
Parent - TX - 2010

"Thanks for a great and rewarding weekend in Las Vegas!  This was by far the best organized and quality two day experience my son has had learning the proper techniques for deep and PAT/FG snaps.  As a Dad it is very gratifying seeing my son continue to grow in ability and confidence as a result of your teaching techniques.  The other wonderful experience is getting to meet other Dads (and Moms) and to follow the growth and development of their sons.  We are looking forward to your next camp(s) and are excited about the 2010 football season when my son can continue to fine tune his skills on the field with the Varsity team!"

Parent - NC - 2010

 

"Thanks J again for all you have done for him.  I really wanted to be able to tell you that in person but it didn’t work out so I hope you know that I sincerely appreciate you and what you have done for our son in SO many ways.  He and I both think you are amazing."

Long Snapper - 2010 - GA

"I would like to thank CSK and Chris Rubio in particular for their professionalism, work ethic and support for the last 4 years. My son first started working with Rubio in the 8th grade. My daughter played travel ball softball, earning a D-1 scholarship and I am currently on a D-1 football staff so I can speak intelligently regarding youth camps/combines and the various promises made by those running the camps.

CSK and LS are in a league of their own. As I said, I’ve seen and listened to dozens of coaches in two sports as my kids attended their camps and nobody comes close to the level of professionalism of CSK and LS. Both Rubio and Sailer are extremely knowledgeable in their fields and are excellent coaches.

One of their best qualities is they are honest and upfront with their assessments and brutally honest in their reviews of the kids efforts. They do not promise anyone anything but exposure from their time with CSK but are the most well connected group of youth coaches I’ve ever seen. Their camps and lessons are always extremely well run/organized and on time. This is no easy feat considering their last combine had over XXX attendees. Their camps are always productive and competitive and light years away from the typical t-shirt/picture and handshake of so many skills camps.

 

Their reputation with collegiate coaches is second to none and that is because of the quality athletes they deliver. This goes back to their practice of being honest in their evaluations and not simply taking your money. I’ve witnessed Rubio on several occasions tell a young man exactly what he thinks of his efforts and abilities and whether or not he can compete at the next level.

I would encourage any parent who wants to support their son in kicking/longsnapping to contact CSK. They are both excellent coaches who will give your son an outstanding education in either field and will work tirelessly in an effort to promote those that have the ability to compete at the collegiate level. If anyone has any questions they can contact Rubio and he’ll put you in touch with me."

Parent - 2009 - CA

Hey Rubio.....

I absolutely LOVE the twitter thing. I have been getting the updates via phone and my son has too.

This is one of the best things for our kids. Your daily motivational quotes, updates on what others are doing, and the successes of others are great. It helps to keep the boy's minds on their goals. Thanks soooooo much!

Parent - NC - 2009


"Coach Rubio,

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I've been to a lot of camps for all my sports since I was little, including all my positions in football, but I honestly have to say, your camp in Charlotte was the most technically informative, thorough, and fun in the shortest amount of time. I think we got a lot accomplished, and I know I learned a lot. (I've been practicing and doing the drills already so I can move up the ranks in Las Vegas.)

Your response time to my questions and the quality of your feedback is unbelievable. I really appreciate it and am hopeful that it (along with the hard work I'll put in to improve) will help land me in a good place for college.

You have a great coaching style, too. You definitely don't hold back, but you deliver your message in the most constructive and motivating way. I've had a lot of coaches, and not many can do that."

"I appreciate all that you’ve done with my boys. They have tremendous respect for you as an individual and really take what you have to say to heart."
Parent - NC - 2009

"Thanks for a great camp in Mooresville. Your instruction has helped my son tremendously."
Parent - NC - 2009

"Thanks for a great camp. You're an awesome instructor, and I learned a lot of things I need to correct in my snapping technique! I'll be working on them over the next few weeks and beyond."
Long Snapper - VA - 2009

"Good being with you in Charlotte. Thanks for putting strokes into my son, but also into my younger two sons as well. They enjoyed it, were inspired...I appreciate the shots of attention...you know how huge it is for young men to be validated by the warriors. I know that you know that...and thanks."
Parent - NC - 2009

"I can't thank you enough for everything you've taught me I am truely excited about everything"
Long Snapper - LA - 2009

"I really can't express my gratitude for what this is doing for not only him but all other 5 siblings. They are all believeing that you can achieve anything. Your programs have been VERY significant in this great schedule and involvement that we as a family take part in togeather everyday. Our 11 year old Daughter works right along side all the boys, but she wants a less important role on the team, she wants to be the QB. Thanks again for your help."
Parent - ID - 2009

"Hi!I just want to thank you for the great experience our son had at your camp in Dallas. He learned a bunch and felt like he gained a great experience from attending. We hope to catch up with you at another camp this summer or in the fall.Again, thanks for your time and expertise. It was a great experience and he hopes to keep improving!!
Parent - PA - 2009

"Hi Rubio,I wanted to thank you for yet another extremely well run Camp in Dallas on Sunday. You have an awesome way of remembering each boy's name and knowing exactly what you tell or say to them and using it to enrich the video sessions, that is very impressive. The video sessions are great because the boys can hear what you have to say about each participant and use it for their own good. The recruiting session you did this time was spot on information that not only the boys need to hear but very good for parents like me where this is the first time sending a child off to college.
Thank you for your honest critique on my son. He gets so much out of your camps, from getting back to the basic fundementals of Snapping to knowing exactly what he needs to work on and how to do it ~ and...he always leaves with more confidence.
Also thanks so much for sitting with us at lunch, my son really enjoyed that a lot. I really meant it when I said that we are glad that we found you.
I was going to add that the way you run your organization is top notch and the way you relate to the boys makes them feel like they have an instant friend that is truly interested in doing something positive for them. That is so important at this time in their lives. So just know you are appreciated for all you do for my son. We look forward to Vegas next month and California in July and hopefully a time or two in between."
Parent - TX - 2009

"You have taught him so much about Long Snapping but most importantly you taught him to have fun doing it and to be proud of what you do. "
Parent - GA - 2009

"We just wanted to say "thanks" for everything, so far. In the past couple of weeks our son has received communications from several top universities, with your name attached to both, as a reference. This is truly a big deal! You can't imagine the look on our son's face, opening the envelopes. So, from the bottom of our hearts, "thanks"!

We'll see you in Vegas, in about a month.
Parent - IN - 2009

 

Thanks, again, for EVERYTHING.
"I am EXTREMELY grateful are an important part of my son's life, a mentor/friend/great coach...you have no idea"
Parent - CA - 2009


"Thanks for all of your help over the years, he would not even have the chance if not for you."
Parent - MS - 2009

"none of it would have possible without you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts"
Parent - CA - 2009

"I just committed and I really appreciate your help. Through my long snapping and my high school career, I dont know how I could have done it without your help. Really shows how great of a special teams service you guys really are. Thank you for all of your help."
Long Snapper - MD - 2009

"hey rubio just wanted to write and tell you i appreciated the opertunity in 07 to attend your camp. i learned so many new techniques and i appreciate everything. I signed a scholarship with old dominion university and i wanted to tell you i felt your camp helped me and had alo to do with me signing thank you from me and my parents"
Long Snapper - CA - 2009

"Just wanted to thank you for the help you offered to my son with his long snapping during your recent clinic in So Cal.We took the pointers you offered from my son'sfilm analysis and he has been working hard with regular practice to really improve his weaknesses.He has already been offered a walk on spot at a Division 2 college and is being actively recruited by two of the top junior colleges in Northern California.That's why I'm writing now, he went for a workout yesterday at one of the Junior Colleges and the Special Teams coach challenged him to a long snapping test right on the spot with several players on the team watching.He had my son do 5 snaps from the goal line with a target of hitting the goal post (12 yards) -- he then had him do 5 snaps from the PAT hold line (15 yards).My son hit the goal post (NO PAD AROUND IT--just the 8 inch stem pipe) 4 out of 5 times on BOTH TESTS -- and just missed on the other two. While they weren't timed, when they hit the goal post it rang like a bell and the players watching were like "whoa--we got a long snapper!" So I took that as a good sign.The Coach was impressed and indicated to my son he would have an excellent chance to start as a Freshman if he goes to this school.I really give you a lot of credit for buidling Daniel's confidence and inspir ing him to take his work ethic to another level which allowed him to produce these "results under pressure"He still has work to do to get to his goals, but he has come a long way since your clinic and I just wanted to thank you for all you do for guys like my son."
Parent - CA - 2009

"Congratulations to you for all the recent national attention you have garnered for Long Snapping. It is impossible to fully explain to you how fortunate we feel to have put our son under your guidance so early in his Long Snapping career. We could not have picked a better coach."
Parent - NC - 2009

"Just a quick note to let you know that our son has accepted a package to play at Assumption College in Worcester MA. We are very excited and can't thank you enough for all you have done. Thanks again and good luck in the future."
Parent - MA - 2009

"I HAVE BEEN A BASEBALL COACH MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE , D-1, JC, HS, AND INTERNATIONALLY, YOUTH SPORTS...RUBIO & SAILER ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR SPECIALTIES, TEACHING, FORGING LASTING RELATIONSHIPS AND TRUST WITH THEIR STUDENTS, PLACING PLAYERS IN COLLEGES, AND ALL THE WHILE EDUCATING AND DEALING WITH COLLEFE COACHES/ PARENTS/STUDENTS.

LIFE....".
Parent - CA - 2009

"Once again words don't express how thankfull Anne & I are to you and your coaching. He wouldn't be here without your insight and help."
Parent - WA - 2009

Less than 3 1/2 years ago, my son and I met you at a park in Newport Beach for our first lesson.
Today, my wife and I stood by as my son signed a College Scholarship Letter of Intent to play Division 1 football, a long time dream of his.
Thank you for the many lessons, camp, competitions and words of encouragement. Packaged together, they took my son to the pinnacle of high school long snapping.
My son will still need you as he says he will be working harder the next four years to reach his ultimate goal of snapping in the NFL.
Thanks again for all the visible and behind the scene work you did for my son and the rest of the Class of 2009.
Parent - CA - 2009

"Just a quick note say how much I was impressed by how your camp in Las Vegas was run. It was extremely organized. The skills were broken down and taught in a progression. I observed each player to receive some “one on one” time from your instructors and yourself. I do believe you knew every players name, I don’t know how but you did! Your passion for this unique but vital part of football was clearly evident and it was infectious with the players. I am a high school and club rep coach and I recognize a good practice when I see one.

My son enjoyed the experience thoroughly; he learned a great deal and is motivated to improve. He was very excited to see his results that you posted so quickly and he sees his potential and how it can be realized with hard work and commitment. What more could a coach and a father ask for from a skills camp?

We will be back next year for sure!"
Parent - CANADA - 2009


Rubio, first I forgot to tell you what a great camp Chris and you ran.
It was incredibly well organized and everything ran on time and smoothly. You and your team did a fantastic job. Congratulations. He really looks up to you. You have inspired him to work really hard to be a better long snapper.
Parent - PA - 2009

"Congratulations on a great camp! My son is already looking forward to the May event. Regardless of what happens with his football career, you and your program are helping my son become an even better person and student than he already was. I am sure that years from now he will look back and consider you to be one of the more influential and important people that helped shape and influence the person he becomes in his adult life."
Parent - CA - 2009

"Wanted to say thank you for a well run and worth while event this weekend. "
Parent - CA - 2009

"Thank you for the encouragement my son came home with, he came home mad (that's motivated man). He felt like he was better than he showed and he felt like he should have made the top 12 finale. So Monday here he comes in the room with his new "goal sheet" to get ready for the next camp and go against the best of the best. Knowing his mind set and the fact he puts all his goals on paper and reads them everyday he'll be ready.
He had a great time and had the opportunity to meet some other great kids from around the country. Be ready for e-mails! Thank you again for all your hard work with all the young men. Not just football, but their preperation in the game of life. See you at LSU if not before"
Parent - LA - 2009

 

"My son and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the great National Snapping Event in Las Vegas this past weekend.

I feel it was very informative for my son, and you and your staff were fantastic to work with.

We look forward to seeing you again in May, if not sooner.

Thanks again for all you do for my son."
Parent - AZ - 2009


"First of all I need to thank you and congratulate you and your staff on this years camp. It seems to get bigger and better every year. Thanks for all you and your staff do, its a great program. Keep on doing what you all do, it is working."

Parent - CA - 2009

"Wanted to say that the camp was GREAT!. Some great instruction from top name college players and great competition. My son met and made some new friends from around the country and learned a great deal from the college guys. It is nice that you have them come work with the high school guys as it allows them to see where they need to be for the next level. Looking forward to May and next Jan!"
Parent - GA - 2009

"Keep up the awesome work. You guys are THE BEST."
Parent - TX - 2009

"Just a quick note to say thanks for a great camp. With 5 kids at home, we tend to be big on orginization & not wasting time or effort. I was over joyed at the way this camp was run. The kids were not idle for more than a few seconds if at all. For our first foray into the snapping world, this will not be our last. Our son only started snapping mid-way into the season & with wrestling going on now, has had minimal time to practice. he came away from Vegas with new desire & drive (& a healthy dose of humility) to work on his craft. also I wanted to give you a bit of info for his profile when you get to them. Thanks for getting the results up so soon ! "
Parent - CA - 2009

"Okay...this is why we love you so.....you tell it like it is and you
really can relate to these kids! Love it! THANKS Rubio!"
Parent - NC - 2009

"I really enjoyed the parent session/college recruiting tips session. That was extremely helpful to me. Thanks again for such a great weekend. "

 

Rubio,
Six camps, about 15, 042 miles and more then 30 highlight films later we've finally done it. I'm going to college in the big time. I say WE'VE done it because I would not have been able to et thisf ar without your help. Since my first camp sophomore year I was amazed at the wealth of knowledge you have about snapping. I can truthfully say I am lucky to have been able to learn from someone of your caliber. You have probably forgotten in all of your years of experience than I could ever hope to learn.
You are more than I could have ever asked for ina snapping coach and a friend. You have helped make me who I am and and you are the reason I can play at such a top quality school. I can't thank you enough for everything you have done to help me along the way. - LONG SNAPPER, 2009, IL



"I wanted to let ya'll know that even though i only attended the long snapping camp one year that, i learned more with ya'll camp than i ever did throughout my whole career as a snapper" - LONG SNAPPER, 2009, LA


Coach Rubio,

 

I have to tell you how much fun I had at the camp on 10/11. This was the first camp I attended with my son and husband and I must tell you I had a lot of fun. My husband has told me how much you care about all of the boy's and after seeing it first hand I must tell you I'm impressed. I enjoyed every aspect of the day and by days end I felt connected with both you and all of the other parents. I'm so impressed by the "family atmosphere" and the fact that the parents from all over the Midwest and beyond, all seem to become friends.

I can't thank you enough for all of your help and guidance. My son really looks up to you, and I think you are a great role model. My son has become much more confident in his skills and I love being the long snappers Mom. I just want to say thank you again, you have had a major role in our sons success. - PARENT, 2009, IL



Rubio, Thanks for all you do for the position and the sport! My son and I wish we would have hooked up with you much earlier. - PARENT, 2009, IL

 

I want to thank you for yesterday's camp for my son.  He walked away with a lot more confidence and in knowledge in his snapping. - PARENT, 2009, IN

Chris Rubio:

Hope all is going well with you and your family,looks like thing are going well with your business.

Just wanted to let you know (with out our son's knowledge) whats going on with him he graduated in May 09 and is enrolled in grad school playing his fifth year.So far so good he's getting a good deal of interest from pro scouts (just not any Texas teams ha ha) I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the things you have done to help him in his endeavors at long snapping you have had a lot more of a impact than you'll ever know believe me I see things you showed and taught some yrs ago being used every day in his routine. I think this is a list of the scouts that have cone to at least one practice to see our son since the beginning of the season.
