"Wanted to say job well done in Vegas this weekend. It was a great learning experience for my son, really liked how the whole weekend was structured. I also wanted to let you know that since my son won your Los Angeles camp, my son is receiving quite a bit of college interest"

"It has been a surreal experience for me to watch him perform at this level, especially being an alumni 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
"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."

"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."

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!

"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 interest 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."

"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
"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!"

"I am not much for words, but you two guys operation is what 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
"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
"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
"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/long snapping 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."

"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.

"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 of your 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. "

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.

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."

"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
"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."

Thank you for making a difference in his life. You have established a goal for him to strive for. Once again thank you for all that you do for DJ. Your expertise makes our team even better."

"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."

"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" "Las Vegas was great for Josh, he got a good look at what it will take to get to the next level.

"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."
