"Just a note to complement you and the Rubio team for creating a great first experience for my son at yesterday’s camp. He really enjoyed the whole experience from getting to meet others kids to the speed competition at the end of the day. He learned a tremendous amount in the one day camp and is looking forward to others to come. Thanks again for running a well oiled machine of a camp and creating a positive influence for my son."

"Rubio, Just wanted to drop you a quick line and say thank you. Our son, had never attended any camps before and had started to try and learn long-snapping on his own. (With some help from his parents, mostly his Mom.) We came across you on social media and decided to sign him up for the Vegas camp. (We had no idea that was kind of a showcase event, but Vegas in January coming from Colorado sounded nice.) As we drove in on the morning of day one, he and I knew that maybe we had bitten off a little more than we could chew. As we warmed up, it was apparent that he had a long way to go to be in the same league as the other athletes that were there. As a parent, I was concerned, wondering how much time and attention he would get from the coaches. Happy to say we were thrilled. You and your staff were great. They treated him well and man did he improve. Competition day was a great experience. He struggled at times, as you might expect. I highly doubt any college scouts will be looking at him based on his performance, but he got much better and more importantly, he’s excited about it and wants to come back next year and attend some of your other camps in the meantime. Point is, I know a lot of people come to you with hopes of getting exposure to colleges and instruction for their athletes. We came with a different goal, we simply wanted him to learn how to long-snap from the best. It would have been easy for your staff or you to overlook our son at an event like that, filled with the top HS long-snappers across the country. I walked away impressed and grateful, because he gained a lot of skill and a lot of confidence from being there. Thank you. We’ll see you again soon."

"It’s official. Thanks for helping my son reach his potential. It’s and rare honor to be able to play Division 1 football. But through long-snapping, my son will be playing D1 football at one of the best schools in the world. Neither of those things would have been possible without the development of his long-snapping skills and the national evaluation that you do to help college coaches find talent."

"Rubio, Yesterday I played my final college football game. I started every single game (43) for Northern Michigan throughout the last four years. I wanted to thank you for all of your guidance, teaching, and wisdom. You played a role in helping me live my dream of playing college football. I felt confident and prepared to snap in college, which translated to a successful four seasons."

"The entire weekend amazed me. It started with three finalists speeches, one was better than the other. I was so impressed by each and everyone of them. They really made me look forward to a few more years with the Rubio family. All of the instructors at the camp couldn’t have been more attentive, positive, and so enthusiastic about being there. It made the days very entertaining . Finally, I was blown away by the class act of Ross Reiter giving up his #1 spot for another snapper. WHAT A GEM! If that is not family, I don't know what is. This was again a great experience for my son, with our second year with you and our second time in Vegas, we just wanted to thank you for yet again another great memorable camp. The improvement and motivation in one year is incredible and we are looking forward to seeing you soon"

"As a mom I would like to simply say thanks to you and all your staff for helping our son when he came to your camp in 2015. This was his 1st long snapping camp ever to attend. I remember him telling me and his dad how much he loved being able to go because it taught him all the fundamentals that he was lacking. He was saying how all the coaches there helped him perfect his skill and it was something he would never forget. So with that being said THANKS SO MUCH for that r are opportunity from our family! My son has committed to ______________ College to play at the next level."

"Having gone around the country with our daughter to national volleyball events and showcases I usually go into them skeptical seeing if they are a money grab or a legit event. I can say with 100% certainty your event was one of the best instructional camps I’ve been to. To see my son improve that much in just a day was awesome to see. You were amazing with the boys and the parents while giving quality instruction and critique when necessary. So thank you so much for hosting such a great event. It was an A++. Looking forward to the next one."

"Rubio, I hope all is well with you. I wanted to share some thoughts with you. I was looking back at the videos on your web site of my son when he went to the first Rubio camp in Chicago. I watched the videos as he progressed through the years and then had the extreme pleasure and pride to watch him run on the field at __________. I have to admit I had a tear in my eye. I thought of the other players on his high school team who thought long snapping was not a real position, who laughed when he was on the side of the field going through his slow motion drills and snapping into a net, while the “real” players practiced. He is the ONLY D1 player from his team now. I thought about the role that you and your program played in this progression and I have come to the following conclusions: 1. The drills, the form, and the technique provided the base. 2. The competitions at the camp provided the confidence to snap under pressure 3. The fun atmosphere at the camps made the experience one that wanted him to not want to miss a camp 4. The fairness of the rankings provided a realistic set of goals to achieve 5. The Vegas camps provided a forum for the boys to create friendships with others around the country. I think the fact that you have created a stage that allows the boys to showcase the results of their hard work on a National level is what allows the opportunity for these boys to be a part of D1 teams that would simply not exist if your program was not in place. Let’s be honest, 99% of the boys in your program could not play other positions at top D1 programs due to size, speed, and overall abilities. Not much of a calling for a 6’2” 230 pound player who runs a 5.0 40 in major college football. Well there is now! I am very thankful that we discovered you and your program. While I know that my son had to put the work in and he did, I know that that you played a large role. I have been thinking about this email for a few weeks now since the first game they played against Michigan and am sorry it has taken me so long to send this. I am proud to say we are part of the Rubio family. In summary, Thank you!"

We have been invited to stay in people homes From California, To Alabama to Georgia if we attend a camp in those areas. Thank you again for creating such a positive, inspiring and special environment for my kid and others to be part of. The lessons learned at these camps and being part of this fraternity that you have created go much further than just Long Snapping. But I think you know that. You are not just creating D! Long Snappers, you are helping create D1 Men. Thank you again for all the support you have given my son."

"Coach I wanted to personally thank you for your program and for all of the work that you put in to the long snappers around the US. 14 months ago, our son had his first official training event and it was with the Rubio program. I look back on the videos from that first training event in Dallas and it is very clear to me that the Rubio program works. From the warm ups, at home drills and specific snapping techniques, everything is a tool for improvement. Our goal was for our son to be able to play on varsity as a junior and attending that first camp was meant to be an opportunity to improve and give our son a better chance of achieving that goal. That camp not only gave him the tools to succeed, but it also gave him confidence in the technique and in the position. Your approach is very thoughtful and incredibly effective. My son is blessed that you took the risk to create the Rubio Factory and we are very appreciative and grateful for everything you do and how hard you work for your long snappers. We look forward to seeing you at the Rubio Dallas event in April. Thank you again for everything you do!"

"Rubio, I just want to let you know what your camps and guidance mean to us. It is always such a pleasure watching you connect with the the boys. You are clearly able to remember what it was like for you when you were their age. You relate as a friend while remaining an authority figure, mentor and guide - for the kids and the parents. My son has a great time every time we come. His confidence is growing not only with snapping but with the ability to break in to social circles and make friends. It was fun to see him mixing it up with the top snappers while also helping out some newer ones. Of course, the fun and increasing confidence has caused my son to increase the work he is putting in - yes for snapping, but life in general - because he is feeling good about the results. Hopefully he can continue to climb the ladder with you and in the world. We also have a great time spending those camp weekends together getting to know each other a little more. Just another grateful parent..."
