"Thank you to Rubio Long Snapping for another amazing camp experience. The relationship that Chris Rubio develops with each player, while he is teaching them valuable skills is second to none. He makes learning such a fun experience that they seem to forget how hard they are working. My son enjoys every minute of the camp and can not wait for the next one! We always walk away learning something new!"

"Dear Chris - We have never met, but you have indeed had a positive impact on our son, and therefore on our entire family. As our son's long snapping developed, we had many discussions in our home as to the right path for him. It became a matter of logistics as his school has Saturday classes and athletic teams, namely football and indoor and outdoor track, compete on Saturdays. It was frustrating for him to not be able to participate and compete in the vibrant Rubio community. This is where your messages on social media became so powerful. You inspired our son and kept him motivated with the constant positive posts. Being a long snapper can be lonely place especially in the off season. So many times our son would call me and say "Mom, did you see Rubio's post today? It is like he is speaking directly to me. He knows exactly what I am thinking and feeling" So, although we are not officially a Rubio snapper, you definitely had a hand in molding our son as a snapper and a hand in keeping him moving forward. Our family thanks you for that! Many thanks for giving so much to the Long Snapping world, and for inspiring one who you do not even know."

"This is not your typical thank you letter about Rubio Long Snapping. A typical Thank You would be about how your camp made my son a better long snapper and taught him how to compete, to be the best he could be at his position so that he could play on his high school team and then play in college. Well, for our first son that was true. He made his high school team and ended up with 2 State Championship rings and he made it on a a D1 team and ended up with a National Championship Ring. This is a letter about his younger brother who thought he wanted to follow in his brother's footsteps. He went to a couple of Rubio camps and did well. When he made it onto his High School team he did not want to be a Long Snapper, he wanted to be the center and let someone else long snap. He helped coach the snapper and was happy to play his position. What he recently told me as he heads off to college was how much he learned at the Rubio Camps. Practice, dedication to your position, passion for what you do, and most important choosing a college not for football, but for what you want to do for your life. He turned down a few offers for college because they did not offer the major he wanted to pursue. He will be a regular student this fall. He will not be playing football but instead working to do what he wants to do for a career. The lessons taught and the examples demonstrated are not always just about the being a long snapper. They are life lessons on being the best at what you do and being a good student, and most importantly a young gentleman. Thank You RUBIO you have helped 2 of my sons to excel not matter what they decide to pursue."

My husband and my son had a great time in Tampa and the amount of learning and bonding he had through the year has been wonderful. Looking forward to many more camps in the future and he is enjoying the sessions with Finch through FaceTime. The teaching and practicing opportunities are endless. Hope to see you in Idaho this coming winter or spring."

"Coach I wanted to let you know how much my son enjoyed your camp. I was so surprised how interactive it was with the parents. I was a specialist in college. We can't wait to get to another camp and we're looking at the Charlotte one if summer football allows. What he enjoyed the most was being around the older kids and them taking him under the wing. Little and McLaughlin from North Carolina both made it a point to come up to him and talk to him. What great role models. Thank you again for the experience and we can't wait for the next camp."

"Just wanted to thank you for an awesome camp experience this past Sunday in Georgia. It was my son's first time attending! He was intimidated at first, but that quickly wore off once the camp started. We were so impressed with how nice and helpful the "veteran parents" were to us as well as the "veteran campers" were to my son. The camp was so informative and my son learned so much. His snapping has already started to improve. We definitely will be attending the camp in GA on July 1st. Thank you again for an awesome day."

"Rubio, We wanted to let you know how impressively Casey Hales singlehandedly ran the Arizona camp today. His time and attention with each snapper, along with such a great positive uplifting attitude all day long was enjoyable to watch. Every kid improved from the morning to the afternoon as a result of his time and detailed attention to every kid. It’s hard to believe that one person could do what he did. Thanks for all you and your staff do for these boys."

"Dear Rubio, A few weeks ago our son was fortunate enough to attend the Underclassmen Invitational in Tampa, FL. He had a great first day on Thursday, and really enjoyed getting to see friends he has made from around the country over the past few years, not to mention the great instruction that we value so much. At about 6:00 am on Friday morning we started out on our drive over to the Underclassmen Invitational from our hotel for the start of the competition phase of the event. As we were driving my son said to me "You know what Dad . . . today is going to be a great day". To which I replied, "That's great Son, what makes you say that?". He replied "Well you know I have been working hard, and today I get the chance to compete with a bunch of great friends, all of us just trying to get better at what we do together." Normally his demeanor on such a ride would be more reserved, more introspective, almost worried. But this was different, this was new, he had a different perspective. And that is when it hit me, and I truly understood what was different. He was confident. I saw the value of great instruction and the satisfaction of having been prepared yielded CONFIDENCE. The ability to have confidence in one's self, and understand what it feels like to be confident (yet humble) is an amazing gift. Anything is possible when a young man whole heartedly believes in his ability to work hard and have success, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. The more I thought about it, I realized that whether he becomes a D1 Scholarship Long Snapper or whether he never plays a down of college football, he will always have the experience of competing at a very high level with Rubio Long Snapping. He will always have this journey to self-reference, to build on, and grow as a person, and THAT is what I am truly thankful for. Thanks for what you have done this far, and what I know you will continue to do in the years to come. We are proud to be part of the Rubio Family and Team Rubio. Respectfully, A Proud (and Thankful) Rubio Parent

" Hi Rubio, I just want to officially thank you for the influence that you've had in my son's life. When he entered the world of long snapping, we had no idea how important the position was. We sent him to his first camp as a Sophomore and we were skeptical, to say the least. We saw a difference in him after attending 1 camp. He had a new found confidence and a desire to become better. He had found a group of kids that he could relate too. As parents, my husband and I were impressed with the way parents were included in the camps. We learned the importance of practicing at home and were given the tools necessary to assist him in his growth as a long snapper. We were determined to have him attend every camp to improve his ranking. The Vegas Camps were an experience that he'll never forget. He learned how to snap a ball under pressure and with every Vegas camp and local camp, we saw his ranking move up. It motivated him to keep training. Senior year he was worried when the offers didn't start rolling in but you always reassured him to "ride the wave" and keep building relationships with coaches. Earlier this year, that offer finally came and it was an offer he couldn't pass up. He was offered a full ride to a D2 University based on his film, his grades and the fact that he is a product of Rubio Long Snapping. As he prepares to leave California and head to Alabama, it is reassuring that he has a family of long snappers and trainers all over the country that he can reach out to. My family will always be grateful to you and your staff for helping him reach the next level."

"Chris, My son has been attending your camps for the last 3 years. He is now a freshman in high school. My son made the Varsity Football team as the long snapper. He beat out 8 other upper classmen who tried out. There is no way a Freshmen makes the Varsity football team unless he has attended Rubio Long Snapping camps! He has your Long Snapper full size target and stand in the yard and practices daily. My son said being in the games and every other Lineman is a senior is an amazing feeling and he is having the time of his life. My son is looking forward to future camps and his goals is to one day be invited to Top Gun in Vegas!"

"Rubio, Now that the summer camp blitz has ended, I thought I would drop you a short note to thank you for the fantastic experience at the Underclassmen Invitational in Tampa. You and Sailor out did yourselves! What a great experience! While this was only my son's third camp with you, he has improved 10 fold under your guidance and tutelage. He gets really stoked when discussing his camp experiences and the work he knows he needs to put in to try to climb the Rubio ranking ladder. The life lessons he has gained from you is immeasurable and has changed him from a quiet shy kid to a confident young man. We can’t wait to see you again in Charlotte, NC in the fall and Vegas in January! Again, a big thank you for all you do for all the young long snappers and parents around the country."

"Rubio, As my son leaves college football behind, he is not headed to the NFL, but he IS headed to Harvard Law School. The connection to long snapping may not be obvious to those who have not spent many hours sitting at your camps, but I think I owe you a thank you. Thank you for drilling into your students the need for character, responsibility, and hard work. Thank you for always being honest with them about their strengths and weaknesses and for not handing out participation trophies. Most importantly, thank you for your constant refrain to be extremely thoughtful about their social media presence. That lesson alone might be worth the cost of the camps."
