“Rubio, First off, I wanted to thank you personally for the outstanding attention you give to EACH and every student at your camps. The FBU camp was only at hit because of the following of amazing students that follow you no matter where you go. Secondly, thanks for the constant encouragement you give to my son. He has just recently started believing he can compete at the next levels. I contribute this to you and your wonder ability to coach with such a positive attitude. He just thinks the world of you, and wishes all his coaches were like you.” Parent – GA – 2014
“Rubio, First let me thank you for your work with these young men. I also wanted to thank you for the way you challenged my son with encouragement but reality of what he needs to do to get better. I have never seen him as devoted to ANYTHING as he is to long snapping. He has written on his wall TOP GUN and #1. You continue to challenge and change young men’s live and I thank you again for all you do with them and your willingness to be honest and truthful, while not compromising integrity.” Parent – NC – 2018
“Just wanted to say yesterday was our first camp!

Things we have already told him but coming from you guys probably means more.” Parent – OH – 2014

” You have meant so much to our son, and for you to have the level of confidence that you do to afford him the opportunity to tell his story means a great deal to all of us. I asked him yesterday what Rubio meant to him, and he simply said “everything! I wouldn’t be a long snapper if it wasn’t for Rubio.” Parent – GA – 2014
“Rubio, Thanks for spending the time with my son for some fine tuning in Lewiston. His form, speed, and accuracy improved within the first hour.

The world just got bigger for him, and I wish I would’ve brought him out to see you a lot sooner!” Parent – IL – 2014

“What did you do to my son at the California camp? He’s on fire!!!!

“Rubio, I wanted to drop you a quick note thanking you for everything you have done for our son over the last three years. Our son attended your first camp in March 2011 as a scrawny 150 lb. kid who had potential to snap the ball well at the high school level, and is now attending his last Rubio camp as a high school student this weekend with a scholarship in hand to play Division 1 football. Thanks again for everything you have done to build our son’s confidence and develop his long snapping skills – yes, in that order.” Parent – OH – 2014

“Hey Rubio, I would just like to thank you for all you’ve done for me and I have committed to ___________. Even though my parents never let me go to the Vegas events or a lot of camps I still consider myself a Rubio Long Snapper. You taught me everything I know about the correct Long Snapping form. I think the best thing about your camps is the encouragement you give young long snappers to never sell yourself short. Because I thought about giving up Long Snapping plenty of times but I would see a tweet of yours and become motivated. And now I can say I am a D1 football player. Something I thought about before long snapping was impossible.” Long Snapper – TN – 2014

Thanks for helping my son get to the next level! We appreciate you!” Parent – MS – 2014
“I just wanted to thank you for the great instruction that I received from you at your camps. Although I only attended two of your camps, the things that I learned at these two camps helped me improve drastically in my long snapping abilities. During this past summer, I did very well at college long snapping camps and much of this success came from the things that I learned from you.I wanted to let you know of my college decision because i’m not sure if it would’ve been possible without your instruction. Thanks again for all of your help at the two camps I attended!” Long Snapper – MN – 2014

You have given me these opportunities, and taught me how to achieve them too. You have helped shape me into a better person on and off the field. I am forever in debt to you and the Rubio Long Snapping family that has brought me to this point. Thank you again for EVERYTHING.” Long Snapper – MI – 2013
“Rubio, thanks for everything you have done for my son since the day we met in that off-chance meeting when my son was in the 8th grade. More important than his long snapping skills, you have helped shape him into the fine young man he has become. As good as he is he never stops working at being better. Thanks again” Parent – CA – 2013
“Rubio, I just wanted to thank you for everything that you’ve helped me accomplish as far as long snapping goes.

“Thanks for all that you do for these young men and especially mine! Thanks for lighting and stoking a fire for this skill within him. Thanks for creating a way to learn this skill through repetition and hard work. Thanks for creating a close, community of snappers and parents that make the entire process extremely rewarding. In a world of what is in it for me, thanks for caring about the kids at a very unexpected and deep level. And finally, thanks for taking a shy, large, and rather quiet young boy and giving him a nickname for the ages, confidence in himself and starting him on a path towards being not just a longsnapper, but a GREAT longsnapper!” Parent – GA – 2013
“Rubio, Doesn’t the English language have a better way to say Thank You? Perhaps, You’re Appreciated. Maybe, You’ve Made a Difference. Ultimately, With Sincere Gratitude could be a little better. Regardless, we are thankful that you have come into my son’s life in a way that is tangible. Not just as a long-snapping instructor, but also as a person that keeps all of life’s challenges in perspective. You teach your students to be aggressive in pursuit of what they want out of football as well as life and never forget to appreciate the ride. My son has committed to a great situation for him and earned a college scholarship to snap, his dream come true. It likely would not have happened without your instruction on the football field AND your encouragement off the gridiron.” Parent – KS – 2013
“I want to thank you for all that you do and how you”ve impacted my son in giving him something to shoot for! We”ve been to other camps, but nothing like what you and Sailer run” Parent – MI – 2013
“You told me the very first time we talked on the phone that you will make my the son the best his city has ever had. Well as of yesterday he is the only person to ever letter solely as a Long Snapper in the programs history. And is 1 of only 5 sophomores lettering this season. And 1 of 3 players to be awarded Subway Player of the Week twice. None of this would have been possible without you. From my wife and I…from the bottom of our hearts we thank you.” Parent – CA – 2013
“On behalf of my husband and myself we would like to thank you for the great camp yesterday. Our son got a lot out of it because of the approach that you have for teaching. You can tell you were a teacher at some point in your career. My husband was a center and snapper for Virginia Tech and he was amazed at the way you were able to convey the mechanics of the snap to the kids. After attending we realized that whatever effort it takes to get there it is well worth it. Once again thanks for a great day and camp!” Parent – NJ – 2013
“Rubio, My son dresses out for his second home game for _____ this Saturday. Seeing him on the field in uniform the first game was a proud moment for his entire family. Matt would not be in this position absent your instruction and encouragement. The personal confidence my son gained from your instruction and camps cannot be measured. His competition and evaluation at your camps, Vegas, and Top 12 gave him the confidence to know he was one of the best long snappers in the country. Without this confidence, he would not be at ______. This confidence carries over to other aspects of my son”s life and will continue to do so. The lessons my son learned from your instruction (hard work, goal setting and achievement, discipline, motivation) are life lessons that will pay great dividends. My wife and I thank you for your dedication and commitment. Keep up the good work. Your work is changing the lives of young men, such as my son!” Parent – TX – 2013

“You were clearly meant to help kids achieve their goals and dreams wether as a snapper or otherwise. I think that is a true gift!

My message to you is THANK YOU for helping my son maybe when you didn”t even know you were!!” Parent – CA – 2013

He has taken your life lesson’s, quotes of the day, blogs and conversations to heart. You have been, and hopefully will continue to be a major influence in his life. Thank you very much. Major full embrace.” Parent – CA – 2013

This was our 1st camp with you and we were very impressed from the start of the day, through to the very end. We really didn’t know what to expect coming in to it but we had a blast, especially our son. He way the instruction was delivered with drills and with your examples – really seemed to resonate with the guys. We’re now “hooked†and plan on attending the September – Chicago camp and the Las Vegas session. Thanks again for everything, we’re big fans!” Parent – MA – 2013
“I can”t tell you how much I enjoyed watching you run your camp. I”ve worked with a lot of businesses over the years and it was a joy to watch such a well run business model. As a parent it meant even more to me to watch you relate to the kids. You spent time with, and encouraged every camper there regardless of their athletic ability. I cannot thank you enough for caring about all the kids. This was my son”s first camp, and he has only recently been exposed to long snapping. You really encouraged him to continue with your instruction and your enthusiasm. Thanks, and thanks again for all you do for our kids.” Parent – NC – 2013

“I just wanted to take a moment to tell you just how impressed I was with the camp. My son said he truly enjoyed the experience, and couldn”t believe how much he learned in such a short time.

“We thought the Underclassmen Invite Event was spectacular. It was, by far, the most comprehensive and professionally structured athletic camp we”ve ever attended. Whatever the future holds for my son, we are so much more informed and better prepared to navigate the waters. Thanks so much for inspiring our son to be the best that he can be. I know you hear it all the time, but as parents, we couldn”t hope for more positive mentor for him.” Parent – TX – 2013

“Rubio, I was at a camp a few weekends ago and after the camp a few dads came up and asked if I was a Rubio Longsnapper. I let them know that I was and they said they could tell just by the way I snapped and handled myself at camp. They said they could see how confident I looked while snapping and that they would be sending there sons to work with you. Thanks for all you do Rubio! See you soon!” Long Snapper – AL – 2013

“Thanks for what you do. You and Sailer are truly at the top of the kicking and snapping world.” Parent – CA – 2013
“Rubio, I just wanted to thank you and Sailer for the quality and professionalism of your camps. We have attended 3 of your camps and one that you ran on a college campus. All were run top notched, even the one on the college campus that you did not control the flow. Your planning and execution is very detailed, and as you put it, militaristic as times. We attended a D1 college camp this week, thinking it was run by the coaching staff. Come to find out, it was not. What a mistake we made. The camp was very unorganized, not the most professional operation I have ever seen, and it was very counterproductive for our Long Snapper. I think we set him back, by making this mistake. We had another camp scheduled in the near future at another college; we are canceling due to this camp being run by the same group as our bad experience. My wife and I just wanted to say we were lucky to find you during our search for a long snapping instructor. We also want to thank you and Sailer for not only the football instruction, but the life lessons you share with all your snappers and kickers. You are preparing them for life beyond the sport. It is no wonder that your relationships with your campers are long term. Again, thanks for what you two do and we look forward to seeing you in the future. We are a proud member of the #Team Rubio family and supporter of #Team Sailer!” Parent – TX – 2013

“Thanks again for your great program and solid instruction. You made it seem like private lessons, even with dozens of kids at camp.” Parent – TX – 2013
“After attending several college camps this summer we have found that no one does it like Rubio… There is no comparison to the instruction, competition and ORGANIZATION of your camps. It’s also amazing how easy it is to pick out the Rubio snappers at each camp. Keep up the good work!” Parent – MS – 2013
“Having you in my son”s corner is a real blessing and we are very grateful for all you have done.” Parent – WA – 2013
“My son is a 2015 player here in Alabama. He was at the Alabama camp Saturday. He just decided he wanted to try long snapping about two weeks ago. He went to the camp scared to death that he would make a fool of himself. He left the camp with drills he won”t stop doing and confidence that I know will help him excel. He has set goals to be ranked one day and he is excited. Thanks for giving him confidence in just one day. I am a high school football coach and I have been to camps that killed a players confidence. Yours did the opposite and I appreciate that. I”m also excited to watch his progress and as a dad it makes me happy to see him so motivated. Good work sir.” Parent – AL – 2015
“After attending only one Rubio camp and purchasing your DVD, I learned so much about my long snapping technique and improved my speed. I received a scholarship to __________ for Long Snapping.

“I wanted to personally thank you for all you”ve done for me. You have been a great coach, patient, demanding, honest and most importantly always there when I needed you.

Once again I can not ever thank you enough not only for the snapping experience but having met and worked with you over the years.” Long Snapper – CA – 2013
“You have had a major impact on my son that has not only changed the trajectory of his life, but given him a sense of responsibility and purpose. My wife and I cannot thank you enough.” Parent – CA – 2013
“Dear Rubio, Where to begin? First and foremost, you and Chris Sailer put on the most incredible event this weekend in Las Vegas. You made sure to educate the athletes, as well as the parents, on and off the field. The days flew by as they were jam packed with instruction, practice and most of all FUN. You mentioned it is a goal of yours that everything run according to plan, and on time. You exceeded your own goals in my opinion. Your organization is a class act from start to finish. The athletes, the parents, your staff, every single person was a reflection of you and your commitment to excellence; I did not come across one individual who was less than the utmost in sportsmanship and character. I cannot believe that you are not on the tip of every underclassman”s tongue that is serious about playing at the next level. You have given my son the tools he needs to achieve his goals. If any parents or coaches are in any way hesitant about utilizing the Rubio/Sailer team I am here to say RUN do not WALK to the next event; your son will be better for the experience, win, lose or draw. I only wish I had known about Rubio sooner. It is mind boggling to think what could have happened had my son started a few years sooner in this program. I am forever in your debt, you have my sincere gratitude for what you have done.” Parent – CA – 2013
“Rubio, Thank you for another great camp, Vegas is truly special. Well done. Thanks again, not only for improving the tangible aspects of his skills, but for the intangible aspects such as confidence building.” Parent – OH – 2013

“Thanks for another awesome camp. I learned a lot more and had a great time. This was easily one of the best weekends of my life.” Long Snapper – CA – 2013
“Hi Rubio, Just wanted to say thanks for another great camp! My son has improved so much since he”s started coming to your camps! He thinks the world of you and is working hard to continue to improve and be the best! I have no doubt with your help and his continued hard work he will accomplish his goals! Thanks again for everything and we”ll see you at the next camp.” Parent – CA – 2013
“Rubio THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT you and Sailer do for these young men! You have opened up an opportunity that others have never thought of.” Parent – MI – 2013
“Thank you very much for everything. You and Sailer do an amazing job putting all this together!!” Parent – CA – 2013
“I want to pass along appreciation to you and your staffers for an outstanding weekend. My son is at the stage where he doesn”t say much to me. But he went on and on about the experiences of the camp. And he was talking about the “next one” before we even got on the plane. And as a father I want to thank you for your assistance in his development. He may still have a ways to go. But when I think the first time he saw you was only 10 months ago, I am amazed by his progress. Thanks for all you do – not just for mine – but for all the kids.” Parent – LA – 2013
“I wanted to thank you for a wonderful camp. We had a great time and my son learned a great deal, some outside of the actual snapping fundamentals. You and your staff really went above and beyond in helping the players and also the parents.” Parent – WA – 2013
“Rubio, My son attended the NC camp on Saturday. I have attended several footbal camps both as a coach as well as a parent. Leading up to the camp, I took the time to read through as much a I could on your camps (website, social media, etc) and went in with pretty high expectations. I gotta tell you that your camp on Saturday shattered every expectation I had. It was the best run camp I have been to and the way you involve the parents as well as kids from middle school through high school was tremendous. Even though my son is only in 8th grade, he walked away from that experience excited about getting better as a long snapper. Keep up the great work and we will see you at another camp in the future.” Parent – NC – 2013
“Chris- I meant to send this Thank you last week after the NC camp. Jason and I want to thank you for the kindness you showed our son and instruction you gave him. While he was the youngest at the camp everyone treated him with the upmost kindness. It”s clear to see your organization is the Best!” Parent – NC – 2013
“JUST ONE! thats right just one session with Chris Rubio and my sons snapping ability improved dramatically Rubio”s one on one techniques were amazing and had a huge impact on my son it motivated him to succeed and corrected all his bad habits my son is now headed to college to long snap..what a ride! thanks again Rubio for all your help and belief in my son and MOST of all making him believe in himself!” Parent – ID – 2013
“Just wanted to drop you a quick email to compliment you on the camp we attended in NC earlier this month. I wasn”t sure what to expect, and I walked away impressed with the quality of the experience my son and I had. The subtle changes in technique you called out will make a substantial difference in my son”s skill over time. In fact, I started to see improvement during the camp! I most appreciated the way you welcomed parents and encouraged us to be part of the camp experience. I learned a lot by listening and participating. Looking forward to attending future Rubio camps!” Parent – NC – 2013
“Thank you for all you’ve done for our son. The time, money and effort that we have put into your camps have definitely been a great investment in our sons future. We have already seen the benefit of that investment and believe that there are still greater rewards yet to come.” Parent – MS – 2013
“Even though we just saw you a month ago, you made my son a better snapper yet again for having attended this camp. You educate the kids (as well as us parents) along the way, to the point that the kids who are working on their craft between Rubio camps gain confidence because they not only know that they are getting better, but they know WHY they are getting better.
“Good morning, Rubio! First, let me just say WOW… what a wonderful camp experience we had Sunday. I had zero expectations but was blown away with everything especially the “on field instructionâ€. I was getting heckled from some of my other “football moms†because they didn’t understand you weren’t just training my son, you were training me as well. Genius!” Parent – FL – 2013
“Mr Rubio I just wanted to say how impressed I was how you worked with those kids you have a true gift . That”s all my son has talked about since we”ve been again I wanted to thank you for allowing him to attend your camp!” Parent – GA – 2013

Regardless, you give the boys the mind tools needed to succeed in life despite what they feel is most important. My prayer is that you continue to model what manhood means even when the boys might lose sight of the message you deliver. I did, and always will, appreciate the unheard message you speak of, that drives these young men to not only succeed, but exceed all of our expectations. God bless Chris, I hope that one day you will get a chance to really appreciate the difference you make.” Parent – IL – 2013

He liked football before but he now loves it You and your assistants have given him self-confidence and purpose. He went from a 2.7 GPA to a 3.8. In just 1 semester.

It was your ideas and comments in the film sessions that taught me this…” Parent – CA – 2013

I can”te tell you how shocked I am still at the quality of instruction, but more so the daily inspiration and focus you provide through your technology outreach, and the multitude of video and instruction blogs is astounding.

Thank you, Rubio for turning this almost 50 year old woman onto at least a part of football and an incredible interest in Long Snapping! We couldn”t be more grateful to you for all that you have done and continue to do for our family. My only regret?

Who was making their first trip to the east coast? Well, it was our lucky day because it was your name that popped up! Who would have thought 4 years later, my son is living out his dream of playing D1 College Football. Your phenomenal instruction paired with your genuine love for these boys is apparent in everything you do. And most importantly, your availability to these boys is there 24/7 to help them get through the rough times as well. Rubio, my husband and I can not Thank You enough for what you have done for our son. You not only taught him how to snap, your taught him so much more that many boys never have the opportunity to learn and experience. To the Class of 2012..

The time you spend with these kids will help them to have have that opportunity. The time and effort you put into your program will give them a lifelong experience and a future to look forward to. Again – thank you for allowing my son the privilege of being at your camps — we feel he learns even more at each and every camp. Thanks again for a wonderful experience” Parent – IL – 2012
“It never ceases to amaze me how you run your camps – always top notch! Your passion for not only the instruction but the kids is awesome. You are making young men out of these boys, imparting more than football wisdom but life lessons. It’s difficult for kids to listen to parents, but you have an uncanny way of reaching the kids and I commend you for it” Parent – OH – 2012
“Chris Rubio is to young long snappers what Steve Clarkson is to fledgling quarterbacks — the guru; the font of knowledge; the last word; the ultimate reference on a resume.” Al Lesar, SouthBendTribune.com, 2012
“Dear Rubio, I want to extend my sincere thanks for a wonderful weekend in Sherman Oaks, CA at the Underclassmen Invite Event. The whole weekend was run top-notch, just like your one day camps. My son was thrilled to be a part of the event and has not stopped talking about everything he did and learned while there–not to mention the new friends he made. In short, the entire weekend was a great experience and learning opportunity, not only for Jeremy but for me too. I met many wonderful parents who were very open and willing to answer any of my questions during the weekend. So again, thank you for hosting and running the Underclassmen Invite camp, my son looks forward to participating in the camp again in the future.” Parent – KY – 2012
“I can”t thank you enough for what you have helped me do, I have listened to you and got a D-1 offer. The private lesson in Idaho was huge” Long Snapper – AZ – 2012
“I just want you to know that I owe everything to you, you are are great teacher. Anyway, you deserve the credit and I just wanted to let you know how appreciative of your time and efforts over the past couple of years I am. I only wished I could have started with you sooner. You are the best!” Long Snapper – CA – 2012
“Thank you for another outstanding camp. So often I leave your camps realizing that even though my knowledge of long snapping is always increasing, that you have forgot more than I will ever know.” Parent – OH – 2012
“Rubio, First, thank you for a great weekend. The program was fantastic and the information you provided to both parents and kids was outstanding. My son”s sister plays volleyball in college and we went through three years of the recruiting process with her. However, in all honesty, we learned more about recruiting and how to properly prepare for the process this weekend than we did in three years with our daughter. Each session was well planned, extremely informative and the presenters couldn”t have been better. Thank you for including us. Well done!” Parent – CA – 2012
“We have a scholarship in our pocket, thanks to your help and training!” Parent – TX – 2012

“We want to thank you for providing our son with an outstanding camp experience this past weekend. He has not stopped talking about it! It is great to know about all of the friends he made, the fun he shared and the insight he gained, not just as a snapper, but as a young man preparing to leave home for college. We appreciate all that you do.” Parent – OK – 2012
“Thank you for helping with the growth of our young men. Your program is more than just long snapping. Thank you!!” Parent – ID – 2012

“Thanks for all your blogs, they really help a lot mentally.” Long Snapper – IL – 2012
“I wanted to thank you for the experience my son had at the Las Vegas camp….. Though he had a lot of trouble with hitting the targets and using his legs and the heat, he was proud that he was able to finish — and a lot of that had to do with being around you and the energy you put forth BETWEEN camps – blogs, postings, emails, information for and about your snappers (past and present) – it really inspired him to step up and compete and not drop off… He gets a lot of inspiration from you to continue to drive and you put it in a way that I sometimes totally miss when it comes to him….. he is really looking forward to seeing you in the future. We appreciate how you have helped our son and the effort you put forth and the results you generate by multiplying yourself and your approach through others and those that follow (also – my son has a younger brother (class of 2016) that snaps – you will see him in the future too)…. Parent – WA – 2012
“Well done Rubio for helping these boys get their dreams. We are all so blessed to have found you and become part of your Rubio family.” Parent – CA – 2012
“Proudest day of my life!! Commited to ___________! Thanks goes out to my whole family and Chris Rubio!!” Long Snapper – IL – 2013

“My son”s finally building confidence and I want to tell you, as a dad, I”m convinced that a lot of that development is due to you.” Parent – TX – 2012
“What you do for kids and their confidence is amazing. You genuinely care about the boys and that is so great to see these days. Even if they don”t go on to play in college the confidence you instill in them will last a life time. Continued successes to you and Sailer” Parent – CA – 2012
“Rubio has a special gift that allows him to encourage, motivate, and teach young men. My son is a better snapper and human being just by being associated with Rubio.” Parent – NC – 2014
“I just wanted to let you know I signed a scholarship to ________ University. With out your help none of this would have been possible. You helped turn a dream into a reality. Thanks for all your help. You area great instructor and I wish you the best in the future. Thank you again for everything Rubio.” Long Snapper – CA – 2012
“Thank you so much for helping him become the snapper he is today and the tools he learns from you to get better everyday.” Parent – CT – 2012
“You hear all the time about how great your instruction and camps are. I had to drop you a note on how great the instruction at the one day camp in North Carolina was. It is one thing to see how much information and instruction goes on at one of your camps. It is an entirely different thing to see the effect it has on your son. The improvement in my sons performance is not only recognizable in the “Pop” in his snaps, but the stop watch shows just how much of an improvement has occurred. We finally put a stop watch on him today and we were quite surprised at the numbers. So much so I had another coach run the stop watch. Now my son has to toughen up the inside of his thighs from the impact of his arms when he snaps. I can”t tell you how thankful we are that we found you.” Parent – VA – 2012
“Rubio, I am writing to thank you for all you have done for us. As my son has told you he has accepted a fullide scholarship to ______ University. The reason I make that statement is because I know it would have not been possible without you or what your name and reputation means out there to schools. My son had several other offers to ” walk on” or as a “preferred walk on” at several other schools . I”m not saying this to gloat but just to prove the fact that every one of these coaches mention you by name and attribute their interest to you or your website (rankings). I could go on but I won”t. It is this simple. My son has worked hard and has been successful and that has assisted him in this wonderful opportunity. But a lot of that would not have happened if it wasn”t for you and your camps. Your camps are second to none and we know because we had been to others. Nothing compares. What I see as the most significant advantage to your camp is the competition. My son knew this and seemed to work hard just to prove himself against the best competition and worked his butt off prior to every camp, especially the Vegas camp. He was determined to finish in the top 12. One of the recruiting coaches from a Division 1 school text my son to congratulate him on his performance before we even left the Las Vegas University campus. That is how closely they follow you. You have done wonder for my boys confidence .So your reputation, the reputation of your camps and the competition they bring are what assisted my son. Lastly, my son was with you for just over a year and if you showed anyone the first video tape of him snapping and compared it a year later to his most recent tape the comparisons is unbelievable, that is what made me a true believer. I was really planning on keeping this short but the other thing you have done that is above and beyond is that occasionally my son, who takes his job of snapping very seriously, has emailed you a question when his snaps aren”t perfect during practice, about his hand placement or something similar. He is trying to perfect his craft and you always respond immediately offering him advice and encouraging him. I have no doubt he will probably email while in college just to fine tune things. So that is just one more thing that sets you apart, it is your sincere interest in the kids no matter what their skill level is. For this we thank and in this day and age what a great feeling to get a free college education, at a great school and have no debt. Just saying thanks does not do it justice but thanks for everything you have done for my son and our family.” Parent – CA – 2012
“Hi Rubio, Our son really got a lot out of the camp on May 6th. He learned so much and came home so motivated to get better! He seems to be more motivated in general. It”s great to see him excited about football again. It”s been a real pleasure reading all your blogs — the information, the motivation, the inspiration. You do good work. Our family thanks you.” Parent – CA – 2012
“I just wanted to thank you for helping my son to have another fantastic experience at your long snapping event this past weekend. Each time he attends an event of yours he leaves with more knowledge to help him become better.” Parent – AZ – 2012
“I really enjoyed the camp! I learned a lot and it will help me so much for the future.” Long Snapper – NC – 2012
“My son and I were talking on the way home after the camp and we thought you should know how much we appreciate you and all you”ve done for him. It”s not everyday that you have an opportunity to meet a genuine and caring sole. My son couldn”t have dreamed of doing as well as he did yesterday without you. Want to thank you for everything, you”re the greatest.” Parent – CA – 2012
“Rubio, just wanted to express our satisfaction with your camp we attended yesterday in Georgia. Both my son and I felt it was an excellent, wellun camp and he came away with having learned a great deal which will help him improve his snapping skills. From experience, this camp was heads and shoulders above your competitions! Great experience!” Parent – SC – 2012
“Hi Rubio, I attended your last Texas camp and I really felt improvement in myself and my high school coaches have noticed also and they have asked me to snap for them on varsity as a sophomore! Of course my response was YES, But all the thanks goes to you. Without your instruction I never could have gotten to where I am now. Thank you so much Rubio.” Long Snapper – TX – CA

“This past weekend was our first camp with your company and let me say we had a level 10 on a scale of 1-10 based on overall experience. We have been fortunate enough to participate In a lot of camps throughout the country with several different organizations and yours was first class. The professionalism, amount of information, time you took with each kid, will definitely bring us back to future Rubio Camps.” Parent – TN – 2012
“Thanks for putting on such a great camp yesterday. Way to keep it fun and informative.” Parent – GA – 2012
“Rubio, just wanted to tell you guys that your camp was great . The camp was well run and very informative from on field instruction to recruiting. My son had a blast. Again many thanks to you and your awesome staff for a great experience we will definitely be seeing you at your future camps” Parent – GA – 2012
“Just when I thought that the level of instruction couldn”t be any better after Vegas I realized just how wrong I was. The camp in Charlotte exceeded all expectations of what a camp should be. The instruction, critique, involvement of parents, life lessons, recruiting, competition, and above all fun are what every camp should strive to be. You and Chris Sailer have something that every longsnapper and kicker should strive to attend. My son is so excited to work on what he needs to to be great and become a top “12” longsnapper that he spent 6 1/2 hours in the car ride back home talking about what, where and how he was going to become better before the next camp, football season and the event in Vegas next year. He is working on a plan on how he is going to get there. This is not just him but the inspiration and motivation that we as parents strive to teach our children. You have helped to reinforce and validate the life lessons that we are teaching our children. THANK YOU My wife and I cannot say enough about the change that we are seeing in our son since becoming involved in your camps. You will see us again and as often as we can with our oldest and starting next year his little brother. THANK YOU” Parent – VA – 2012

“Rubio, thanks for another great camp in Georgia this past weekend! My son had a great time and continues to learn” Parent – MS – 2012
“Rubio, my son felt so good about himself after his first camp with you on Sunday in Roswell. He has been getting so much conflicting instruction on long snapping from all of his coaches, none of whom were long snappers themselves. He was getting frustrated and was doubting himself. Now that he knows the “right” way to do it, he knows that he can truly be successful from now on. He is already practicing his form every day, and is excited about his next Rubio camp in July. He can”t wait to show you how much he”s improved from his first camp. We can”t thank you enough for helping him feel comfortable and confident in himself” Parent – GA – 2012
“Rubio, Just a quick note to thank you for another great camp! My wife and I were so happy to see my son compete on his own against the older boys and how happy he was in doing well.

“Just wanted to take a minute and let you know your Spring Long Snapping Camp was the best camp I have every attended. Having two boys, I have been to a lot of camps over the last ten years and by far your camp excels over them all. The camp was well organized and well taught. I think it was great that you incorporated the parents in to your training and video session. Since your camp, my son has me filming his long snapping and watches his snapping over and over for form. It’s cool that you have given him something to be motivated about and excel.” Parent – IL – 2012
“My son only got to attend one of your camps but what he learned there helped him get this scholarship. His velocity and accuracy were much improved after he adapted to your techniques. I feel like if he had been able to attend another camp or two last summer that he might have gotten even more attention. I thought that you”d want to know that what he learned from you made a big difference.” Parent – KY – 2012
“Thanks for all your help and exposure!” Parent – IL – 2012
“Thank you very much for taking time out of your day to coach. It really helped me to improve, and I feel like I have greatly progressed in my ability. I look forward to attending your camps and continue to improve” Long Snapper – IL – 2012

“Another great camp, Bravo! One of the many things I love about the camps and the instruction is that they are consistent and they always reinforce your basics.

“Chris, if my son hasn”t told you yet, he signed and sent the NLI this morning to _______. Thanks again for all you”ve done to coach him up and get him the visibility he would never have had coming out of Alaska. Your college connections and your willingness to make calls on his behalf were essential to his recruitment. He is truly a Rubio Long Snapping product and is very proud to be associated with you. You do an amazingly outstanding job with training the boys and the recruiting process” Parent – AK – 2012
“Thanks for everything you have done for my son over the past year. I never knew there was such a Longsnapper sub-culture until we discovered Rubio. What a great fraternity of boys who support each other even though they are all hoping for virtually the same position! Wish we had started earlier.” Parent – IL – 2012
“I can”t thank you enough for everything you”ve done for me Rubio. It was a dream to play college football and you helped me make that into a reality. My family is so grateful and we would recommend you to anybody, thank you so much. I just officially signed!” Long Snapper – MD – 2012
“I wanted to thank you for being such a Pro! Your camps are run so well. The information you provide makes it so easy as a parent. Most camps are run so poorly and attendees are left wondering what to do next. Thank you! See you in the Spring!” Parent – GA – 2012

“Rubio, I wanted to thank you for the great camp you put on in Vegas this past weekend. It was extremely organized and you had an EXCELLENT staff of long-snappers on hand. The young men you chose to assist with your camp were all outstanding in character and worked really well with the kids. My husband and I were very impressed with all of them. Also, my son had a great time and learned a lot. Your camps, watching the older snappers, and experiencing the final competition have all inspired him to work harder and make himself better.” Parent – KY – 2012
”I would like take a minute and congratulate you on a great weekend event. This was our first trip to the Vegas Event and we were impressed with the way it was ran. The college and pro guys that you had in place to help those young men were impressive on their own and that reflects greatly on you” Parent – GA – 2012
“I just wanted to say THANK YOU! It was our first time at the Vegas camp and it was incredible. We really appreciate all the time and effort you put in to helping these boys.

“It was a pleasure to meet you. Great event, well run, and tremendous venue, UNLV!! My son was impressed with the competition, the coaches and the talent” Parent – TX – 2012
“Coach Rubio, i just like to thank you for having camps and competitions like you do. I had a absolute blast at Vegas and i hope to see you again soon! I learned a tremendous amount of knowledge and made many friends in Vegas. I always had a hard time in high school getting made fun of for being a long snapper but at this camp it was nice to find out there are so many snappers who love snapping just as much as i do. Snapping is my passion and each day God provides me with i take full advantage of it to snap a football. Thank you again for all you do in the world of snapping you are an inspiration to me and i am sure to the entire snapping community! Keep doing what you do! Have a blessed year and continue to create and mold great snappers for the future of football!” Long Snapper – MS – 2012
“I wanted to thank you for your continued mentorship of my sons. I said this in the note I sent you along with the check, but what you continue to do and mean for both of my sons is far more valuable to me, and I believe to them as well, than what you teach them about snapping a dead animal in between their legs. To me, your program and what you do for them in the long run of their lives has little, if anything, to do with getting them a scholarship or an opportunity to walk-on and play college football. That is a unique and often unachievable dream – even if you are a great long snapper – there is so much luck and other factors working against the achievement of that dream. The true value of you and your program is the unique ability and talent you have to be able to reach teenage boys through the vehicle of your long snapping teachings while teaching them how to become good men. It is a truly remarkable gift that you have that I have seen play out again and again for more than 4 years now for those parents and kids who are open to receiving what you are really offering to them. To me, that is your true value and is priceless in helping mentor my sons in how to become good men. Your long snapping skills and teachings on the field are the best, but what you teach my sons off the field is even better. I cannot ever thank you for that enough” Parent – CA – 2012
“I have to be selfish and just thank you so very much for ALL you do and have done for my son and thereby our family! Rick was so great at texting me from Vegas to let me feel that I was a part of it. Heard nothing from my son which was great because it meant he was either in camp or having the time of his life with some great friends that he has made because of your incredible program. I continue to be amazed by how you put together such an incredible experience for these athletes but also how you support, mentor, encourage and set such a great example for them by being a man of character and integrity. It”s so hard to believe that a little over a year ago, my son attended his first camp. Had he not tried out for the position in football (I thought a coach encouraged him but it was his idea) and then followed up with your camps, we wouldn”t have the interest he is enjoying from colleges right now. As I stress about it all, I find comfort in reading your wonderful blogs over and over again. My husband”s had to continue onto a business trip from Vegas and texted me how sad he was that this might be my son”s last Rubio camp and how much he has enjoyed them along with what it has done for their relationship. All of this would not be happening without you. We look forward to a continued relationship with you and are so grateful to have found you. Thank you!!” Parent – GA – 2012
“Rubio, I just wanted to make sure that I personally thanked you! I can”t tell you how much I appreciate the specific instruction that you have given me. Now when I look back at my old long snapping videos (Pre-Rubio) they are really just ridiculous and laughable” Long Snapper – IN – 2012

“Rubio, I just wanted to send you an email to thank you for everything. The vegas camp was incredible. It was organized and executed very well, the set up was fantastic.” Long Snapper – GA – 2012
“Sending my son to your camp was the best present we gave him for the holidays. You managed to do 2 things in 8 hours that his school coaches have not been able to do in 2 years.First, as the long snapper on his team, my son was never taught how to long snap. He was put on the field to do a job without any coaching. I guess they figured as long as he got the ball to the right person, it really didn’t matter how he did it. After 1 day at camp with you, he now knows the right way to long snap and what he needs to do to improve. Second, and most important, you gave him confidence. I truly believe that the lessons taught by coaches cross over into everyday life. You opened my eyes to what a positive impact a truly good coach can have. I only wish my son could have such a great coaching experience from every coach” Parent – CA – 2012
“I wanted to let you know how impressed we were with the Las Vegas camp. My son was extremely happy to attend. His comment was that he learned more at this camp than anywhere else. Once again we Thank You for the excellent camp and look forward to the NC camp.” Parent – VA – 2012

They really took the guys under their wings and took a personal interest in seeing them improve. Very best regards and I look forward to seeing you again soon.” Parent – KS – 2012
“I wanted to take a minute and thank you again yesterday”s camp, it has completely changed my son”s outlook on what it takes to be a good longsnapper. Your camp is by far one of the best that he has attended in terms of knowledge and skills gained. Your ability to teach, the talented staff and organization of the camp are outstanding as well.

Your camp was, by far, the best camp I have ever attended! Being a first timers to your program, both my son and I, wanted to keep an open mind of what to expect. We are both very happy to tell you that every expectation we had was exceeded! You have a great program and I am very happy that my son is able to be a part of it starting his Freshman year.

I just want to tell you how grateful we are and how excited and proud we are. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Parent – FL – 2011
“We can”t thank you enough for your instruction and encouragement!” Parent – AR – 2011
“I really wanted to give you a HUGE thank you. Without football this place (his college) would not have been as easy to get into, and honestly I don”t think I would have even considered coming here. But due to the exposure from your camps and all the excellent coaching you gave it was made possible. I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and I know that I am meant to be here, football or not. Also, I not only want to thank you for teaching me everything there is to know about long snapping and making me much better, but for the mentoring outside of football you gave me and all your other students. Your optimism and great outlook on life helped me EMBRACE everything I used to dislike. I believe I will become a better man for knowing you and taking the lessons you taught and using them in my life” Long Snapper – IL – 2011
“When my son first met you, I knew immediately that you were different from any other coach (sorry) he’s ever encountered. Well, since then it’s been quite a ride for my son. He escalated so fast (athletically & mentally) & made so many wonderful relationships that will last his whole life. All through Rubio Long Snapping. You, the 2012 guys, Sailer, the college guys in Vegas. For my son, meeting them, well, I just can’t tell you what that in itself, has done for my son. As a parent, I have always told him to hang out with the winners. You are a winner. You not only taught him how to Long Snap, got him a full ride to the college he thought he never could go to, but most importantly have been teaching him life lessons all along the way. There are certain people you meet that REALLY make a difference in your life & you most definitely are one of those people. I have seen such a change in him this last 1 ½ yrs, that is priceless. He’s always been a happy kid, but add this happiness & a boat load of confidence & even to him &, well, it’s just more than a parent could ever ask for in their child! And as for me, I got to watch all this & was lucky enough to be a part of all this. Through all this traveling & practicing, our relationship has gotten much stronger. I think, better than his scholarship that you got him, the best part for me is this relationship with my son. We can (pretty much) talk about anything, which is what is so important to me. To communicate with your kids, I think is key. We always had a great relationship, but we are closer now than ever! We laugh so hard about things & these things are usually things that you have said or done. THANK YOU for giving my son such wonderful direction in such a crucial time in a teens life” Parent – IL – 2011
“It just gets under my skin that Long Snappers are so under-appreciated!!! Thank you for how much YOU are changing that view!!!!” Parent – TX – 2011
“You keep up the great work and continue to mentor and inspire the future generation of snappers, and more importantly, the next generation of great young men. You do a fantastic job!” Parent – IL – 2011
“I remember our first phone conversation about 2-1/2 years ago. I had talked with several other snapping coaches around the country in my attempt to find the right guy for my son. I found you on the web, and you were the last one I spoke to. I remember getting off the phone and telling my son later that day that I had found our man. Shortly after that, we were on the ground with you on the other side of the country at the park for a private lesson. My son was jacked at his marked improvement by the next afternoon. He showed up in California already believing in himself, but I know that from that weekend he was truly inspired and determined that he could/would make it to D-1 football. Thanks for what you taught him about snapping. But equally if not more importantly, thank you for who you are…for challenging, taunting, and loving these boys to believe in themselves and rise to their God-given potential…especially my son! I absolutely love your joyful, fun-loving sense of humor, and your love for the boys that are placed into your care. For these reasons, I have got to be among your greatest of admirers! I hope that you live out half of these qualities with your wife and sons, and in so doing you will be a blessing to many of your generations after you. Blessings to you Chris!” Parent – GA – 2011

Although we have never met (I have to stay home with our daughter and horses), I am so impressed with your approach, motivation and dedication to these young men. I find that you are that mentor I have been hoping my son would find in his life. Thank you not only for putting these incredible camps together for these young men but for giving it your all in more ways than one: your time, individual attention, motivation, inspiration, website, youtube videos, rankings, etc. are changing lives! Please express my gratitude to your wife and children as well for I know they make many sacrifices so that you can be there for our children. Personally I love your sense of humor, blogs and tweets.

You have helped my son grow in so many ways; has a better sense of direction, goals, confidence and college football in his future. He has made new friends from all over and I truly believe, some of which are going to be life long connections. I know long snapping is your livelihood and it is business yet, as I watch you run your clinics, I see a person who really cares. Despite the fact you have done 500+ clinics- your presentation is still fresh. Your enthusiasm is so contagious and inspirational to all. Hope you never lose the pixie dust! You are a straight shooter, wonderful coach, role model, and not a bad snapper yourself…. and just a good person. I have had the pleasure of getting to know some of your “rubio regulars”– all have the greatest respect for you. You are doing something right! More importantly, your influence/training goes well beyond long snapping and helps young boys prepare for the many trials of life. I know we have many Rubio years ahead just wanted to say thank you!

I remember you having 4-6 snappers at camps back then and now your sold out 3-4 weeks before the camp starts. Positive feedback of a job well done.

“I was at the Alabama camp and i have learned more from that one camp then i have in my life” Long Snapper – TN – 2011
“”Coach” Rubio (I will explain later): I want to first of all express appreciation and gratitude for what I (actually – my son) experienced during our brief day together at the Oregon camp……We were exposed to so much and left with so many takeaways that I can”t believe it was all accomplished in a single day….. We have an entirely new view and knowledge base for what it really means to be a successful longsnapper…..
As for the greeting at the beginning of this email….. at the camp, you told the players and parents to call you “Rubio” rather than coach or Chris – in watching you work and play with the boys — and how you are able to convey so much meaningful data in so little time and have it stick shows a skill and passion that only the best coaches and teachers possess – many can go through the motions and “coach a position” – you bring a love and awareness and energy that draws the players in – at all ages – a rare gift….. Thank you for that…….You will see us again.” Parent – OR – 2011
“My son will be attending ______ as a preferred walk on simply because he attended your Vegas competition and you recommended hm.
After a disappointing football season his senior year, we were looking for a LS camp that my son could attend. I came across several online but yours stood out especially seeing how many of your LS’s were going on to play at college level. We decided to attend the competition in Jan. 2011 and it was the best decision we ever made and best money we ever spent. Although my son only attended this one camp, you and your program have had a huge impact on his football future. Being a LS for a team with a losing record didn’t exactly bring him much recognition. He had always wanted to go to college and play ball but realized that was probably not going to happen. Now this is where you come in, by simply recommending him, my son will be attending __________! Your recognition, expertise and respect from college coaches are valid and true. Everything you say and preach on your website is accurate. I can attest to it. I truly believe my son would not have been a preferred walk on at _______ if it were not for you and your program. A heartfelt thank you to you for the opportunities you give LS’s and for your passion in what you do. It is evident you love this and were meant to do it. Keep up the great work!” Parent – VA – 2011
“By the way, since the camp we went to last time in Chicago, and since he has been to other snapping camps, your camp is by far the most educational for snappers. As a parent, I have always tried to not stay at practices and camps because of all the politics in schools that are played. But the way you encouraged parents to stay and the way you trained parents on how to work with our kids was one of the most beneficial things I have ever been a part of. Your camp (and the book we bought from you) has really allowed me to have confidence in training with him. So since your camp and your encouragement for parents to be part of the training process, I decided to stay and watch at some other camps he”s attended in Michigan and I cannot believe how much your camp really does blow anything else out of the water. So I just want to thank you for that.” Parent – MI – 2011
“My son attended the U of A and TN camps this past weekend that you directed. He learned so much in that short time and appreciated the extra tips you gave him at the end of day two. He feels like he learned more the past two days than he has since he started snapping.” Parent – TN – 2011

“Rubio, You and your people where dead on. Everything that was told to me at your clinics was RIGHT on. You can use this letter as a testimonial or have any perspective client of yours contact me at anytime, I am that big of a believer in you. Today, my son received an e-mail from ______________ Special Teams coach requesting my son”s services at their school. It happened just as you told everyone at your last clinic in LA. They heard about my son from you. What a great reputation you have. This was a personal e-mail from the coach and not just a form letter. The HUGE fact is that Matt”s name is out there, mainly because of you. We can not thank you enough. I know you are a busy man and I am not the type to bother people, but I felt the need to pass this on to you. Everything that was told to me in the classroom or that I read on your web-site has come to fruition. My only regret is that we had not heard of you earlier in my son”s career. Once again Rubio, you are a man of your word and your word is solid. Like I said, we have not committed to anything and we have not even contacted the coach, but just the fact that this program reached out to us, and my son”s name is out there on people radar, because of your reputation, is as they say “Priceless” to my son and myself. Just to see the look on his face when he was reading the coaches e-mail was unforgettable. Sorry for the long correspondence but I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your services and efforts” Parent – CA – 2011

“Hey Rubio, I had my spring game yesterday on ESPN 3. I had 12 punt snaps, 6 pat/field goals, a tackle and nearly had a fumble recovery (even though I know that close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades 😉 It was a great day for my family and me, and I just wanted to take the time to thank you for everything you have done for us. I can”t even begin to tell you the profound impact you have had on my life. You”re right when you say that you are far more than a coach: you are a mentor and a role model. It”s hard to believe how things have fallen in place for me, and I know that you have played a huge role in the shaping of the man I am today. None of this would have been possible without your positive reinforcement, and it seems you have squeezed out every ounce of potential I have within my sub-six foot body. The things you have taught me exceed far beyond the long snapping world and, for that, I thank you.” Long Snapper – VA – 2011

I thank you again, for everything! You have played such an important role in his life. Parent – IL 2011
“The best part about Rubio is his integrity and knowledge. I am appreciative of the way he conducts himself and the way he encourages the athletes. I enjoyed the way Rubio spoke to the parents in encouraging how we can be coaches with our athletes. That has really improved my ability as a parent to help my son. He practices almost everyday now.

“Rubio- Just had to send you and email and let you know how appropriate your blog was today. We have been following your blog which has had been great for answering questions and also, dealing with life. I encourage him to re- read different things in your blog which I think were written just for him. I have encouraged him and told him this wont be easy, but if he works hard, improves and continues to work with you, I have no doubt in my mind he could be a good college snapper. I think he has had trouble seeing that. I have been sending him texts and ask him if he has read your blogs and especially the ones that I think will help him. Well, today, he sent me a text and asked me if I had read your blog. I had not yet (sorry, I was busy taking out wisdom teeth!!). After I read it, except for the part about wisdom teeth-given, I thought it was exactly what he needed to hear!! Hopefully, he did hear what you said. Thanks for being there for the boys not only for the snapping, big part, but for the life lessons that they need to hear. Thanks again for all you do, and keep it up!” Parent – TX – 2011

“it was another great camp in Sherman Oaks a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to let you know what long snapping
has meant to me as a father. My son is young for his grade and most other lineman have 40 to 80 lbs on him at our school. He sat most his Freshman year and it was frustrating for us both and of course there is no long snapping culture here as they used the center to muscle back knuckle balls. I saw an opportunity and after your first camp he was hooked. dragging me to the park and gym 5 days a week snapping, watching endless you tube footage ect. At last years H.S. summer practice when the long snap try outs started my son caused such a stir that all the coaches Varsity included stood and watch my son as he dominated that position. my son had a season of perfect snaps and secured his spot as a player. Thank you!” Parent – NV – 2011

The other camps I”ve attended have told me that I need to use my legs more, but you were the first person to actually show me how to do it!

“Hey Mr. Rubo, I”ve never been to a long snapping camp or competitions or anything, but I would like to thank you for all of the long snapping advice you have put on facebook in the past. I live in North Carolina and played organized football for the first time this past season for my senior year on my high school team. I was trying to figure out what positon to play and decided I wanted to be a long snapper after I watched some college football on television. So I went outside and started snapping at a pine tree in my yard. After a lot of practice I won over my high school team”s starting position at Long Snapper. After a sucessful season, I was recruited by ________. I signed my letter of intent as a preferred walk-on.. It”s a dream come true after just one year of organized football. So thank you for all of the tips and advice that helped me along the way.” Long Snapper (someone who I have never actually even met!!!)- NC – 2011

Keep up the good work.” Parent – 2011 (Anonymously sent to me after reading Rubio Long Snapping blog)
“Hey Rubio, I never got to say thank you for all you have done for my boys. Without you we would not be in this position. It”s absolutely amazing that I have not 1, but 2 kids that are going to play for a major D1 school on a full ride. I would of never thought that was possible.” Parent – CA – 2011
“Chris, I”ve spent my entire adult life in the sports business, as a D1 baseball coach; Asst Olympic baseball coach (Italy); & MLB Player Agent; I currently represent NBA coaches & MLB managers & coaches; So I think I know and understand what a quality, effective coach is when I see or meet one. You and Chris Sailer both have an amazing gift as contemporary coaches who definitely connect with young athletes. I have spoken with many of the other people across the nation who teach/coach LS & kickers, either @ clinics, lessons, in person, or by telephone. Most of them are amateurswhen compared to you. My son and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as a Long Snapping coach and mentor for the past 5 years.

“As my son signs his National Letter of Intent and Full-Ride Scholarship Agreement today to attend and play football for a D-1 BCS Conference school, I am reflecting back on that chance meeting we had when my son was a 5’3â€, 115 lbs 8th grade boy practicing his snapping for his Pop Warner football team on a random Sunday afternoon. From that point forward until today and beyond, through your training, motivation and personal attention to him you have been and continue to be instrumental in training and perfecting his long snapping skills. Beyond that, through your long snapping teachings you have taught my son valuable lessons that he will carry with him and that he will be able to draw upon for the rest of his life in whatever he does. Lessons like the importance of quality practice over quantity repetition. Working hard and being diligent, yet having fun while you are doing it. Seeing the big picture while practicing and perfecting specific detailed drills. The importance of being positive, encouraging, enthusiastic, passionate and having fun in what you do in order to get better and become the best. The confidence in knowing that you will perform at the highest level when you have prepared yourself through hard work and quality repetition. The importance of being confident that you will do your job, yet be humble in your achievement. All of these attributes and more you continue to teach my son. You are truly his mentor and you have become my dear friend. My family is grateful and blessed for all that you have done and continue to do for my son.” Parent – CA – 2011

You have done so much for my son I can’t thank you enough” Parent – AZ – 2011
“I know my wife has told you this, but I wanted to reiterate it and thank you for your coaching of my son. His high school experience was so miserable, they nearly sucked all his passion for the game out of him and certainly didn”t encourage him to improve or pay any attention to Special Teams in general. Seeing him the past month at your lesson and camps, I finally saw his interest return and enjoy being around the football field and smiling on the filed again.You”ll probably remember that I was very skeptical in the beginning of guys being able to play D1 ball and get scholarships with your program, but we”ve literally seen your business explode since we came into it and boy was I wrong!” Parent – CA – 2011
“Rubio, just wanted to say thank you again for helping my son get to the next level. Your camp has been a big part of all of our lives for the last 4 years” Parent – AZ – 2011
“Rubio, I did not get the chance to say hello or goodbye but I did want to send you another note of thanks. My son had an awesome experience and continues to grow and learn as a long snapper. I was very impressed, but not surprised, at how well run the camp was. We will definitely see you in May, actually twice, in GA and again in Vegas!” Parent – GA – 2011
“Rubio-I wanted to thank you for the event in Vegas. I could see how much work you and your entire staff put into that event and I am sure you are wiped out and hopefully will get some rest. My son and I had a great time while we were there. We appreciated the instruction that you and your staff provided and being able to see all the different snappers at one camp is a vital part of the learning process as well. Thanks again!” Parent – TX – 2011
“I did not get a chance to talked with you this weekend but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all you have done for my boys the past 6 years I know my son would not have went to college with out your help and on to the NFL and with my other son you have been great with him and I really appreciate everything” Parent – TX – 2011
“Thanks for an awesome weekend – can’t wait until May” Parent – CA – 2011
“Rubio, Great Event this weekend, i was amazed at the talent. Now i see the things we have to do to get to the top. Lots of hard work. Thanks, for what you do, it”s completely awesome. In my 18 years of coaching football you rarely find a person who is tuned in to all his players, no matter age, size or where he comes from.” Parent – CA – 2011
“Rubio, Thanks for everything, over the weekend. Getting involved with you has been the best thing my son has ever done. You have created such a postive enviroment for our kids. Long Snapping requires dedication away from your camps. The kids have to work at it all year round. Your attitude stays with the kids. You provided the incentive and commitment that keeps our kids working.” Parent – IL – 2011
“Thanks so much for everything you have done for my son” Parent – TN – 2011
“I wish everyone was like you Rubio. You are a straight shooter” Parent – OK – 2011
“Thanks again for great weekend! You by far are the best in the business, and I love the organization with which the camps are always run.” Parent – GA – 2011
“Rubio, My son has attended several of your deep snapping camps over the last several years. He got his 4th D1 scholarship offer yesterday. We felt like they were going to offer him so he has waited and he got the offer. This was the school that he had dreamed of playing for. He has four D1 scholarship offers and numerous invited walk on offers. This would not have been possible without the skill development and the drills that he learned at your camps. I know that I nor his high school coaches could not have helped him develop these skills. Your camps and his hard work has paid off. I wish I knew how many thousand balls he has snapped into that net and how many times we have laughed at your likeness on the net. My son will never forget your encouragement and the friendships that he has made at your camps. Rubio, I wanted to thank you personally for all that you have done for my son.” Parent – MS – 2011
“I know you already know this but i”ll say it anyway. Your Prep Camp was amazing, the way you ran things and are so organized is what i”ve been looking for. Most camps don”t give you a tenth of the instructions that you gave. My son and I are very excited for the upcoming events and years we will be going to your camps for coaching and valuable lessons you will teach him. Thanks again, and looking forward to tons more opportunity to spend time with you.” Parent – CA – 2011
“I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the session you and Chris Sailor held for the veteran snappers and kickers at the camp in Georgia. You and Chris were so incredibly helpful with your insights, and answered the many questions that have come up more recently in the recruiting process. Thank you so much!” Parent – NC – 2011
“I must tell you I am very pleased with all the communication you have provided for this event and information on your website (including all info on facebook). What I have read, it seems like your camps and events are very well run. We are looking forward to the event. I only wish we knew about Rubio Long Snapping a couple years ago! Your hard work is definately paying off and so great to have found someone with a great passion for long snapping and helping athletes advance to the college level.” Parent – VA – 2011
“I am very thankful that another one of your long snappers turned us on to you. What a difference you have made in our lives. Thanks for all you do for these kids!” Parent – CA – 2011
“Great blog! It was great to read how you started it all. Keep them coming!!!!!!!” Long Snapper, IL, 2011
“We were so impressed with you and the lesson!!! He and I loved it!! I love your teaching style and your focus on details, you are worth every penny!! Again looking forward to seeing you soon. You are much more than I ever expected and I can”t believe you had my son long snapping after only a 30 min session!” Parent – CA – 2010
“Anyway, thank you very much for your time at the lesson. You squeezed more information into 1 hour than I thought possible. My son was wiped out and so pumped up at the same time” Parent – CA – 2010
“My son has been working hard so I though I would reward him and take him to another company”s camp about 2-1/2 hours away in wisconsin. I thought it would be a good warm up for Vegas. Well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a disappointment. Going to that camp confirms that you are the best at what you do hands down. The competittion was about 1 minute and very uneventful. It was as if they just wanted your money, put there time in and then sent you off.The only good that came out of the camp was my son got to know meet another one of your long snappers and I probably sold two dads on going to your next local camp in Chicago. On the way home my son said it plain as day, “Dad, that was NO fun.” Thought you should know. Also, I believe when your a coach part of coaching is not only developing a kid athletically but also developing there character. Thats what makes your camp fun but also provides the incentive for the kids after they leave to continue to workhard. Thanks for all you do for all the long snappers. One other thing, I never thanked you for going out of your way to visit with my Dad. He talks about that camp and meeting you all the time. He is coming to Vegas with us and is excited. You didn”t have to do that and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate it.” Parent – IL – 2010
“I know you see and teach a lot of kids. But as I sit here at the stadium waiting to see my boy come out on the field, whether he ever plays or not, I just wanted to thank you again for all you have done for him and our family. You made him feel special. Thank you.” Parent – CA – 2010
“I follow your web page and I think it”s great you have coached / mentored another bumper crop of fine young LS”s. You should feel proud and honored to have influenced so many young lives in such a positive way. Again, my thanks to you. He received the national attention due to your coaching and reputation.” Parent – IL – 2010
“Thank you so much for all you have done for my son!!! He is ecstatic about his opportunity to play at the next level and we are so thankful for the training and exposure you and your program have provided. We couldn”t have gotten there without you!” Parent – AZ – 2010
“Thank you Rubio couldn”t have done it without you and I”d like to thank you for everything. I know the school I chose is a perfect fit for me and the coaches are awesome there. Once again thank you for everything Rubio.” Long Snapper – NJ – 2010
“I wanted to thank you again for instructing my son so well last Sunday. He walked away from your camp feeling excited about what he had learned from you. Thank you again for all your help. He really enjoyed every minute of it!” Parent – AL – 2010
“My son was awarded most improved player on the JV team. As the coach was introducing, he mentioned that my son played every single offensive play this season without a bad snap including all shotgun, field goal, extra points and punts. All of that is a result of your great mentoring of all those kids – I thank you for all you do for them.” Parent – CA – 2010
“I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for me Rubio. It means a lot of my family and myself” Long Snapper – GA – 2010
“Rubio, Thank you again for the great camp today and positive instructions for my son. As I mentioned to you as we were leaving, we attended a different camp last December in Nashville and I found your camp to be far better in instruction, information, and the amount of strong competitors. One of the aspects that stood out to me the most as I watched was the care you have for your students and the positive relationship you have with the multitude of repeat attendee”s to your camp. Thanks again for your help today. It was a pleasure meeting you and I wish you continued success” Parent – GA – 2010
“Thanks for your support of my son. He has gained immensely from your instruction and inspiration over the 4 camps and Vegas Showcase last year. I know that he considers you his most important mentor.” Parent – NC – 2010
“Thanks for a great camp at Roswell on Sunday. My son learned so much during the day and he is definitely interested in attending more of your camps in the future.” Parent – GA – 2010
“You do a wonderful job of making snapping fun, my son really enjoys being part of your program. You have been and are a great help to Tucker and we really appreciate it.Thanks again for your work ethic as an example to these boys; you do everything when you say you will, and to post results and videos in two days for all the snappers is amazing. Thank you for your commitment to excellence.” Parent – GA – 2010
“The Georgia camp was just amazing! My son really got a lot from it and is already starting utilize the tools he learned. The camp was a great experience for the entire family. We were a little nervous about coming just because he almost had zero experience and no training, but what he learned was extremely helpful and went a long way. He went in with the attitude “I know I”m not good, but all I can do is my must and learn”. I think he came out with a little more confidence and a real fire about long snapping.” Parent – MO – 2010
“Thanks for a great camp today. Both my boys enjoyed it as expected. They both came away with a lot more confidence.” Parent – GA – 2010
“Dear Rubio, My son participated in many of your camps, lessons, and National Events in Vegas. While all were impressive, one never knows the effectiveness until it comes time to apply the skills you have taught him. Sure, he showcased his skills at the high school level, but I am talking about how he would perform in a NCAA D1 environment. For my son, there were numerous “proof is in the pudding†moments. Here are a few:
· My son was offered a “preferred walk-on†spot at the D1 school of his dreams mainly due to his relationship with your program
· As a true freshman, he beat out the incumbent senior (not a Rubio student) to earn the starting Long Snapper position
· His first college snap, occurred in a major NFL stadium , inside the 5 yard line, in front of a very noisy opposing student section, whereby he nailed the snap, then went on to make a solo tackle on the return man.
· He’s had 62 great punt snaps this season, many coming against teams ranked in the Top 25 and at very imposing stadiums with 90,000+ attendance
· This week, the school awarded him a scholarship that starts in spring.
You not only taught him the necessary technical skills needed to become a great snapper, but also gave him the ability and confidence to perform under great pressure.
THANKS!!!!!!” Parent – CA – 2010
“Hey Rubio, I just want to let you know my first year in college has been great. I was a travel redshirt this year and second string. I just want to thank you again for all you have done for me.” Long Snapper – 2010 – VA
“Thank you for all you do & we want you to know that our son is getting several interests from various colleges. The most recent indicated they were interested in offering a scholarship because of his versatility. We are so grateful to you & others that have such positive influence on our son. Words just can”t say how his mother & I feel toward you & the others.” Parent – GA – 2010
“Rubio- I wanted to tell you how much my son and I enjoyed the camp in Dallas. We both learned a ton about long snapping technique as well as the overall process. I think you do a great job with the boys and I like the fact that you try to make each person the best long snapper they can be!” Parent – TX – 2010
“Rubio, Wanted to let you know my son enjoyed the camp again. I cant believe the improvement he has made since March. He started at center on his middle school team and once the coaches figured out he could long snap at 10 yards punting became a huge weapon for them .He didn’t have any bad snaps I was shocked he was very consistent.” Parent – TX – 2010
In regards to having great pressure snaps in a major loss from a D1 long snapper “Win some and lose some, but the snaps were easy cause I learned from the best” D1 long snapper – ID – 2010
“Thank you again for bringing the Long Snapping Camps to our part of the country. Had a great time yesterday and we continue to be impressed and amazed what you do with these boys. The difference from the start of the camp to the end of the camp on a lot of these snappers was amazing. You have a true gift in teaching Long Snapping.” Parent – SC – 2010
“We owe all of this to you. As you can see, you were his first true long snapping coach. Although he may not say it, I know how much he admires you and finds you to be a great role model. The top twelve and event elite did more for his confidence then I can tell you. After spending time at an “other camp”, I can assure you that you are the real deal…period. I”ll be happy to tell anyone this,along with all of the reasons why.” Parent – IL – 2010
“I chose not to talk to you about this at the camp Sunday because you had far more important things that needed your attention … like coaching the proper L-S techniques, etc
I know that I am not alone when I say I really appreciate the fact that you are all about being at your camps and teaching them yourself.
We have been to other good camps, don’t get me wrong, but It is troubling to see the trend that is to simply send a few good local college players to do the actual teaching. A good college player does not necessarily make a good teacher… I love seeing the accomplished college players helping at the camps, but they should simply not be teaching without being supervised by the camp-directors or founders.
My son came away with renewed enthusiasm, some great new ideas about how to become a better long-snapper and most importantly a big smile on his face.” Parent – NC – 2010
“Rubio, I would like to thank you for the years of instruction that you have provided. Since last May, I have taken your critique and worked tirelessly to perfect my skills. Over the summer, I attended numerous camps and the Rubio Long Snapping students certainly are a cut above the rest; a true testament to your efforts. I accepted the scholarship offer to ______ because I felt it was the right fit both academically and athletically. With thanks to you (and my family) my ever-lasting goal of playing college football is becoming reality.” Long Snapper – NY – 2010
“Hi Rubio,
I just wanted to let you know, that I have accepted a full athletic scholarship offer to the University of ________ to play Tight End, and I will also be their long snapper. I was recruited and offered for the tight end position, but being able to long snap allowed me to rise up over all the other athletes. I can”t thank you enough for all you knowledge and how much you have taught me.” Long Snapper – PA – 2010
“Also, I wanted to compliment you on how you handled that kid who was on the verge of tears. Your response was perfect! I have coached dozens of teams at all levels of youth sports, and I know that you can make or break a kid in how you respond. I don”t know if he is any goood or not, but your excellent response will make a huge difference!” Parent – CA – 2010
“I can”t thank you enough for all that you did for my son. If it had not been for you my son would never have signed a scholarship at a D1 School.” Parent – MS – 2010
“Rubio, thank you for everything you have done for my son. The camps and the exposure that came from them was great but the fact that you stayed in touch with my son between camps and the phone calls you made on his behalf mean even more. Thanks again for helping my son reach a goal that seemed improbable a few years ago.” Parent – AZ – 2010
“Rubio,
I have been meaning to catch up with you for some time.
First, I wanted you to know how much my son enjoyed your Top 12 camp. It was no doubt a once in a lifetime experience for him. Getting the boys together by themselves and allowing them to bond or spend time with each other without family distractions is a great idea. I can tell that my son considered this trip very special. I think he will remember this fondly for the rest of his life.
Second, I hope you know how much you have meant to my son over the relatively short period of time he has known you.
When he first met you last December, he had just finished his first season of long snapping and was just another one of thousands of high school long snappers simply playing football because he loved the sport. He was extremely raw and never had any formal instruction. I believe his high school coach gave him an old DVD to watch. In less than 7 months you transformed him from anonymity into one of the best high school long snappers in the country. Yes, he did work his tail off. But truth be known, he could not even have come close to this accomplishment without you. For this, I thank you very much.
The extremely high level of respect that you garner from all of these young men across the country is quite remarkable. You have a tremendous talent and gift that you are able to communicate to these kids that few others possess. My son is not the easiest kid in the world to win over. I have heard him talk about you to his friends, other long snappers, parents, teachers, and coaches. His respect for you is tremendous.
From what I understand, he is no exception. The other kids across the nation feel the same way. Many have the ability to teach at a high level. Few command the respect and adoration that you obtain from your students. I hope that at least one of my younger two sons follow his older brother”s footsteps down the path of long snapping. The only way for me to feel more blessed that you have crossed paths with my son is for you to cross paths and influence two of my sons.” Parent – GA – 2010
“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 !I know that you have hundreds of “campers” but I wanted to thank you for treating Jackson and me as if we were the “only” ones. This is one of the greatest contributors to the continued success of your business.We are big fans of you personally and professionally.”Parent – AL – 2010
“Man you are fast. By the time I got home, you had already made the update. This shows just how professional you & your company are.” Parent – TX – 2010
“Wow, today it has just “sunk” in how much you have done for my son and even for ME! I just want to thank you for all the knowledge and information that I have absorbed while at all your camps, from your website, and emails, etc.” Parent – NC – 2010
“Thank you again for being what you are to my son. I hope you really get what you do and are for him. He has flourished, since starting your program, in more ways than just snapping HARDER Jand that is something that will be part of who he is forever. Just know I appreciate you a whole bunch!!!!!” Parent – TX – 2010
“Like all parents, I can”t say enough good things about the camp, how it was run, and certainly the expertise you showed (and shared) with the guys. My son really will be a better player because of the few hours spent yesterday. I would like share a lot more with you, but like you, time is short.Also, I am tremendously impressed with how fast you updated the camp info on the web.” Parent – TX – 2010
“I can”t tell you how pleased I was with the camp you conducted in Georgia last week. The drills and instruction you provided are already being utilize by Jackson during his off-season program.”Parent – MS – 2010
“As always, we appreciate what you have created and feel honored to be a part of your success.”Parent – CA – 2010
“Thanks so much for all of your great instruction, it really helped him achieve his goal of continuing his football career at the next level.”Parent – AZ – 2010
“Just so you know, we are very happy that we were fortunate enough to find you.”Parent – SC – 2010
“Third and finally I just wanted to tell you and Chris Sailer. that I appreciate everything you guys have done to help me out in my career. I had an absolutely awesome time every time I came out to California great guys and people all around. Thanks again for everything you guys have done I can”t tell you how much I appreciate it.”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.”Parent – TX – 2010
“This event was SOOO well organized! Thanks again!! I”m still on Cloud 9 from it all!”Parent – NC – 2010

“Thanks for all that you did. WONDERFUL CAMP. Look forward to seeing you again”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.” Long Snapper – 2009 – NC
“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.”

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.”

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.”

“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”

“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 ! ”

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 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. Carolina ,San Francisco,New Orleans,St.Louis,Indianapolis,New England,Minnesota,Washington PS. This is not about Justin its about YOU! PARENT, TX, 2009

“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.

“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 – 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.”

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”

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,

“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.”

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. ”

“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!”

– Going 100 percent, 100 percent of the time.”

“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.”

“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.”

“You are by far the most knowledgeable person when it comes to long snapping we have meet.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
