Long Snapper - MS - 2008


"Hey Chris,
Just wanted to give you an FYI. This weekend my son went to a Passing/Linebacking camp sponsored by __________ at UNLV. What a joke. Registration was a nightmare and half the scheduled events never took place. CSK could teach these guys a lot. Keep up the good work."
Parent - CA - 2008

"Finally a little ink for an often overlooked position. :)  Wouldn't have happend without your help and coaching. So from a very proud dad, thank you....thank you for your commitment and passion to the game and to helping
kids get better.  Looking forward to April!  See you then."
Parent - WA - 2008

"We wanted to send you a message and let you know how much our son enjoyed the Nike Long Snapping Event that he recently attended.  This was the first event he had ever attended so we didn't really know what to expect.  He was extremely pleased with the instruction and instructors.  It was obvious as parents, that you and the other instructors really care about helping the players improve.  It is amazing how much our son picked up during the course of the weekend."
Parent - GA - 2008

"I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for what you do.  I know that this is your business, but I feel that it is more than that to you.  You really care about these kids.  You are very honest with them, but also know the right things to say.  This has been the best program that DJ has been to."
Parent - VA - 2008

Great job in Vegas!!! It was awesome to experience the event first hand and see you and your team work with the athletes and interact with the college coaches. Very impressive!!!

"I want to thank you for the great camp you and all the staff put on.  The camp was really first class."
Parent - OH - 2008

"Chris, thanks so much for putting on the event in Las Vegas.  Michael and I had a great time.  It was run professionally and I think all of the boys got a lot out of it.  I know Michael did.  As you know, Michael is top rated with other camps and have been to a bunch of their camps.  They are good, but Michael and I both agree that you are great!  A great teacher and the boys have fun while they learn from you.  You should be proud of what you and Chris Sailer have built.  We will definitely stay with you and your camps. Again, thanks for all you do.  Michael and I agree that you are super and we appreciate your honesty and your sincere concern for all of these snapper prospects to be the best they can be.
Parent - GA - 2008

"Thank you for everything you have done for Ryan in the past year.  He really enjoyed your camps and I wished we would have started with you sooner."
Parent - FL - 2008

"Thanks for the instruction and professionalism that you and your staff provided at the 6th Annual Event.  I can say beyond any doubt that my son Adam is a vastly improved long snapper for having attended.  He now knows where he compares with his piers and more importantly has been provided the tools to improve.  I have read the reviews yet I was and still continue to be amazed at how well the camp was run and at the amount of training that you were able to accomplish in such a short time.  The huge turnout of college coaches on Sunday afternoon was testament to the respect that you and Chris Sailer have earned among them.  I have no doubt that you will continue to attract and cultivate the best snappers and kickers in the country."
Parent - VA - 2008

"I can't say enough about the event, it was so well organized compared to some camps that we have attended at colleges.'
Parent - OK - 2008

"Rubio, Thanks to you for the exposure that your camp has given me. I am beginning to get some attention from D-1 Coaches now thanks to Chris Rubio and Chris Sailer Kicking."
Long Snapper - MS - 208

"I just wanted to thank Rubio for the exposure that he has brought to my son! My son played on a 4A state championship team ( 14-0 nevada) and did not get any intrest from any colleges out of high school. Two years after he graduated high school he met Chris Rubio by luck. Within a week of meeting Rubio he had been contacted by apx. 20 colleges. I want to be first in line to tell both Rubio & Sailer what a great service they are doing for our kids. Although my son had never been to one of Rubio's camps, Rubio was willing to do this for him. The Las Vegas camp was only his second camp with Rubio, but he has improved greatly with Rubio's instruction. Once again thank you Chris Rubio!!!!"

"Thanks again for a great camp and the individual attention you give to all the guys."
Parent – North Carolina – 2008

"CSK/Rubio is without peer when it comes to exposing a kicker/punter/LS to college ST coaches. There is no equal, period. Just look again at their alumni throughout the college and pro ranks; no other organization can compare.
My son first came to a CSK/Rubio camp in our local area. He was not known, nor was there an expectation on my part that he would automatically be in a "top" group. In fact, he did OK, but did not necessarily separate himself from the pack. He took Rubio's instruction/critique and worked hard to improve. He next went to the May Vegas camp and did quite well. Not because of the money I paid, rather because he worked his tail off; specifically working on what Rubio told him he needed to improve on. He did well enough in Vegas to be invited to the LA camp. Each camp he attended, he made significant improvement. He went in with the mindset of what can I do to get better; listened to Rubio, then committed himself to improvement. The only guarantee Rubio ever gave my son was that if he would listen to his instruction and fully dedicate himself to work-on the things that he told him to work on; he would improve. That's exactly what has happened and my son had an outstanding 07 football season. As a direct result of Chris Rubio; his fantastic instruction and his incredible credibility within the collegiate ST coaching ranks, my son now has an opportunity to continue his football career playing college ball. Talent isn't enough in this day and age; dedication, commitment and lots of sweat equity will basically get you to home plate...along with all the others. Rubio is the differentiator. We are thankful for the opportunity to learn and the exposure that was provided through CSK/Rubio's proven credibility.
I  would strongly advise any parent, who has a son who wants to improve his skills to become the very best he can be attend as many of these camps that they can possibly afford"

Parent – CA – 2008

"I had a great experience over the weekend and thanks for the opportunity in the 3rd group. I learned a lot and feel myself developing as a snapper. I loved the competitiveness in that final lesson. I never thought a group of snappers could love competition as much as any other position player. There was a lot of talent this weekend and it was a great experience. Thank you…."

Parent – AZ – 2008

"I am writing this e-mail to thank you soo much for the event in Vegas and giving me the opportunity to come up there. I have to admit I was nervous about meeting you and the counselors but all of you were so welcoming, kind, and very helpful and it was awesome to finally meet you in person. I learned a lot at the event as you and the counselors walked around helping each and every one of us with the drills. "

Long Snapper – CA - 2008

"None of the people I have met so far have the knowledge, experience, or teaching capability that you do. Aaron never would have gotten this far without your help, and he will never get any better unless you continue to teach him. Thanks for everything you do for us"

"This just came out today and I thought you might like to know since you share in this as well.  Zach was selected First Team All Southwest Junior College Football Conference (SWJCFC) Long Snapper by the conference coaches.  He’s worked hard for this honor and you’ve played a major role in this accomplishment.  Not only have you taught him well, you’ve inspired him to keep getting better.

Parent of a HS Long Snapper, CA 2007

Affter attending your camp he came back with a renewed enthusiasm for football.  This is the first time he has not started for the team he plays on(size at V level is a problem!) and was thinking about not playing on the varsity this year.  He has found a home long snapping and so far after 4 games has managed about 16 snaps all without issues!!! Thanks for your camp and Matt's renewed enthusiasm.
Parent of a HS Long Snapper, IL 2007


Chris,
Your boy, Matthew, did extremely well in the past three games as well as in the upset victory over Iowa. he is getting off the snap like a rocket, sprinting down field in a sub five forty and disrupting some return teams. You have done an Phenomenol job with him and I will be forever thankful for you in my son's life. He has total confidence in you. He is facing some difficult comments by a special teams coach with inferiority complexes but because of your strength and belief in him, he has risen above. You can be extremely proud of the job you have done and I thank you for all the effort above and beyond. There will always be a place in my family and our hearts for you.
God bless you
A very proud father,
Parent of a D1 Long Snapper, Iowa, 2007

"Joe worked real hard but without your camps and coaching his dream would have been just that!"
Parent of a D1 Long Snapper, FL 2007

"I just wanted to tell you how much Ty & I enjoyed the Top 12 camp. We both felt it was an intensive 3 days of work. Having the opportunity to compete against that caliber of snappers, along with the fundamental drills you taught should take everyone of those young men to a higher level of snapping.
In addition to the improvements Ty has made while attending your camps, he and I have always came away with at least one drill to add to our workout routine. This has helped Ty improve his snap times, accuracy and footwork.
Thanks for your devotion and promotion of long snapping."
-Parent of a HS senior, Atlanta,GA 2007

"Thank you for helping me develop into a better snapper, you and the chris sailer kicking website played a big part in exposing me and giving me plenty of oppurtunities to continue playing football in college."
-Division 1 Long Snapper, Florida, 2007

"Thank you again for helping him to become a better long snapper and especially for the pub.  Your program is outstanding, I only wish we had known about you earlier."
-Parent of JC Long Snaper, 2007

"I would like to personally thank for you for the private instruction that you gave Chase in the summer of 2006 at the University of Hawaii. I can say without a doubt, that Chase attending your instructional event was THE TURNING POINT for him as far as getting him to the next level and for the constant motivation that he has acquired. Chase and I often review the video that we took ofyour instruction and I am still impressed with your teaching skills and format. You are responsible for putting Chase in a position to continue to play the game that he loves and to continue his education. Again Chris, thank you for things you have done for Chase, it is truly amazing at how a weekend can change a lifetime and this has been evident in Chase's case. "
-Parent of a High School Senior, HI 2007

"On behalf of Nolan and our family, we are honored to speak on behalf of Chris Rubio and Chris Sailer and what they have done for our son.  Nolan came to Chris Sailer Kicking early in his sophomore year and immediately connected with Chris Rubio and the long snapping program.  As parents we were unsure of where this would lead but along with Nolan made a serious commitment to long snapping.  Fast forward to 2007 and Nolan has just committed to play for a major university on FULL SCHOLARSHIP.  If it weren’t for Chris Rubio and his techniques, expertise, instruction, reputation and dedication to the art of long snapping Nolan would not be playing for a division 1 football program.  Chris is more than just a long snapping instructor he’s a master at it.  Just take a look at the list of past and present recruits and you’ll see the success of his program.  It’s with deep appreciation and gratitude we have for Chris Sailer Kicking that we say THANK YOU.  We hope to make you proud for years to come!"
-Parent of a High School Senior, CA 2007

"Chris:
What can I possibly say? Thanks for:
- Making every snapper feel like they are most important to you.
- Running a true world-class event (and making it look easy to do).
- Going above and beyond expectations.
- Infusing the guys with your passion.
- Going 100 percent, 100 percent of the time."

"Just wanted to drop you a line and congratulate you and Sailer on a first class camp. Your organization and instruction was commendable. Jake learned a lot and is now challenged to become a D1 snapper. That you for challenging my son and showing him what goes into making a true long snapper. I would whole heartedly recommend your camp to any long snapper wishing to improve themselves."
Parent of a High School Sophomore, IL 2007

Parent of a High School Freshman, CO 2007

"Rubio, I would like to thank you for all of your efforts in putting on the Las
Vegas event. I was totally impressed with the quality of the instruction and the instructors. The exposure to college coaches these boys are getting is impressive. I appreciate the one on one attention you have given my son Michael. I have seen a dramatic improvement in his ability and his desire that I directly attribute to your encouragement. Again, thank you!"
Parent of a High School Junior, AR 2007

"I am not much for words, but you two guys operation is waht I consider as professionalism from top to bottom. The camp you provide and run is excellent. I wish we would had known of you guys a couple of years ago."
Parent of a High School Senior, TX 2006

"It has been a surreal experience for me to watch him perform at this level, especially being an alumn of the school. The camps and work that you have personally provided to him has been invaluable in his achievement.  I am sure he will continue to work with you in the summer camp and whenever possible.  I cannot thank you enough. "
Parent of a D1 Snapper, KS 2006

"Thanks for everything you have done to support Corey during the entire recruiting process. You never made a promise you did not keep, or a committment you did not follow through on."
Parent of a High School Senior, CO 2006

"Chris Rubio, of Chris Sailer Kicking, is simply the best long snapping instructor in the world. He is a gifted instructor; an expert in the technique, art, and science of long snapping; and the number 1 resource the nation's top football programs look to when they need to find long snapping talent. His track record of developing long snappers for the collegiate level is unparalleled. The value received from attending Chris Sailer Kicking & Long Snapping Camps far exceeds anything we could have hoped for."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, TX 2006


"I highly recommend the Chris Sailer National Long Snapping Competition. Long Snapping Instructor, Chris Rubio, is a role model for athletes because of his talent, motivation, and encouraging manner. As a Long Snapper, my son's skills greatly improved from attending this competition and, as a result, he earned a full athletic scholarship to an outstanding Division 1 College."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, CA 2006

"You are by far the most knowledgeable person when it comes to long snapping we have meet."
Parent of a D2 Snapper, Florida 2005

"I have never been to a combine, camp or competition as well run as the one that you and Chris Sailer put on. It ran on time, followed the schedule, and delivered what was promised better than any event that my son has participated in or that I have gone to in my role in the media and following college football recruiting. I was wondering about the promise of coaches attending the finals, but I have to admit that I haven't seen that many Division I, I-AA, II, III, and JC coaches in one place other than the AFCA Convention."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, Oklahoma 2005

"I really wanted to just say thanks for all of your help. My son would not be close to where he is today without you. You are a great teacher, coach and mentor. Rarely does my son look forward to a workout; he does with you, because it is you. Thanks again."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, California 2005

"Your attention to detail along with the genuine care shown toward the kids has set you apart from the rest. As parents we sometimes worry about the people that come into the life of our kids that have influence, such as teachers, coaches, etc. We pray that some of them will have a positive influence. I'm proud to say that Scotty has met you and that you are part of that circle of influence. Your passion for helping the boys was evidenced by you and your staff's willingness to teach, instruct, and coach the group throughout the weekend."
Parent of a High School Snapper, Louisville 2005

"My son has been to other football and baseball camps and we both thought that your camp was the best he has been to. Other snapping camps he has gone to have not been as helpful and the staff not nearly as knowledgeable as yours was last weekend."
Parent of a High School Snapper, Texas 2005

"Chris, words cannot describe my gratitude. You have played a very major role in Ed's success. Without your training and guidance we wouldn't even be talking football beyond the high school level. You have helped hone his skill to D-1 level."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, Ca. 2004

"I just wanted to write to you to tell you and your staff thank you so much for the camp you put on last weekend. You guys did an excellent job with coaching and teaching everyone the in and outs of snapping."
Long Snapper, Kentucky 2004

"Congratulations to both you and Chris Sailer on a job well done at the Las Vegas Kicking/Snapping Competition. The event was well staffed, ran smoothly and was very organized. There was very little down time so the participants kept warm and on-track. The talent was excellent and from all parts of the US and the number of coaches in attendance was impressive."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, California 2004

"My son is an invited walk-on to one of the most prestigious football programs in the nation thanks to your program. I can't say enough good things about the long snapping instruction, and exposure that your camps and competition offer. Thanks for all you do to help get these kids exposure that they would otherwise not get. Your program is invaluable to long snappers wanting to go to the next level."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, Texas 2004

"In a relatively short amount of time Chris Rubio has become the # 1 authority on coaching and evaluating long snappers throughout the country. When a coach wants a long snapper, they know to go through Chris Sailer Kicking and contact Chris Rubio. I would highly recommend to any long snapper wanting to be seen by college coaches to attend the National Kicking Combine in May and the National Kicking Competition in January."
- Special Teams Coach. D1A 2004

"Schools are realizing that special teams are becoming more and more important and that everything starts with the long snapper. Chris Sailer's National Competitions and Combines are the place for any long snappers wanting to be noticed an
