Rubio Long Snapping
"My son had his 3rd camp with Rubio and after leaving the camp last week, he said I love Rubio Camps. As a parent watching Rubio engage with parents and the kids is a great time. Watching my son grow each camp is awesome"
Parent - NC - 2024
"Chris Rubio we appreciate all of the life lessons you teach on and off the field"
Parent - MS - 2024
"Greatly enjoyed meeting you in Tennessee and learned a lot from you and your staff. Great camp and great instruction! I will definitely recommend to others the sooner the better."
Parent - TN - 2024
"My son attended two of your camps. He was rated as a 4 1/2 out of five star with you. He tried out for the University of North Dakota, where he is going to school to become a commercial pilot. He is now a walk on on the team. Just thought I would let you know. Thank you so much for your knowledge and expertise not only for football instruction, but also to navigate the process of getting noticed."
Parent - CA - 2024
"Thanks to your instruction during my son's virtual lesson he is the starting varsity long snapper as a sophomore!"
Parent - TN - 2024
"Just wanted to drop a quick email on my son's experience at the recent Top 12 in Idaho. My son just raved about the time he was able to spend with the instructors, the other kids, and Rubio. It was great for him to see how he compared to the other best snappers, but more importantly, he was able to get to know a lot of the kids who he had only competed against for a few hours at other camps. The setting was amazing, and the down time, either at the pool, dinners, or the amazing river trip, along with the friendships built was what my son talked about the most. He also left with a renewed confidence in not only his abilities, but knowing he would be ready for the next steps in his snapping journey. I know it was your first Idaho setting Top 12, but did want to share my son's experiences as you look at doing more camps in Idaho."
Parent - NV - 2024
"Both my son and I were really pleased with the camp including the engagement of the entire Rubio staff. The individual attention that Chris and Cruz offered was matched by the care and dedication you had ensuring the entire group was engaged and on the same page. While it was our first time in Lewiston you all made us feel at home. The river boat trip was great as well, and was something both the kids and parents enjoyed. Thank you for exceeding our expectations!"
Parent - CA - 2024
"Hi Chris, a huge thank you for all the kindness and hospitality you and your staff provided to our son in Idaho. Our work schedules got in the way of us taking him and he REALLY wanted to attend. He loved every minute. We can’t thank you enough for all that you and your team did to take care of him"
Parent - CT - 2024
"Thanks again for hosting the Top 12 camp in Lewiston and providing all of us with a true Idaho experience. Having a son who has previously participated in Rubio Long Snapping, I have seen how relationships form between the snappers, but having the opportunity to get great instruction, rooming together and enjoying time in the Snake River and at BBQs will no doubt result in bonds that will bind the boys together into the next level of their snapping careers. It also allowed many of us parents to meet and develop friendships that will last for years to come. We now have several snappers to follow and support in their senior year and beyond as we were able to develop relationship with other families thanks to Rubio Long Snapping and The Idaho Experience. Anyone offered the opportunity, should jump at the chance to participate."
Parent - KS - 2024
"WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!! My son learned so much at Top 12 Camp in Idaho! Being able to compete with the top long snappers in the nation to the jet boat tour seeing parts of our beautiful country not everyone gets to see! As always the staff was awesome and my son left the camp a better long snapper. Rubio, thank you for giving my son a great opportunity!"
Parent - NC - 2024
"If you are contemplating if it is worth spending the time and money for this three Chris Rubio three day Rising Senior Experience, the answer is yes! Coach Rubio goes out of his way to welcome the players and parents immediately with an afternoon session and family barbecue. The small group size allowed for more one on one training and tips than at the other camps. The boys worked hard during the morning sessions on day two and three. Again, these sessions offered valuable insight by both Coach Rubio and his son Coach Cruz as they film, analyze and individually review players while giving each senior valuable insight and suggestions on how to best continue developing and improving their long snapping skills. Additionally, the senior experience is a unique camp because both players and parents have the opportunity to be addressed by Coach Rubio regarding the recruiting process. It was great for the rising seniors to have a few sessions with Rubio and be reminded in person once again about the importance of having patience with the recruiting process as well being told tips on communication with coaches and how to make the most of their future camp visits at different universities. Thank you Coach Rubio for creating an environment which simulates a college experience by making these seniors work hard, spend time with working with each other and providing them with valuable hands on training and competition with you."
Parent - FL - 2024
“Top 12 Camp in Idaho was a great experience for our son and us! The time competing and hanging out with the guys was an awesome experience for our son. We all enjoyed the snake river jet boat tour and the stunning views. For the parents connecting with the other snappers parents was fun and we truly enjoyed our time at the wineries and restaurants. If you get the chance we highly recommend going.”
Parent - NE - 2024
"Hey Rubio, it's _______. As my college football career is coming to an end after this season, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything. Your camps and competitions in high school were crucial in my development as a long snapper and as a person. Your dedication to promoting long snappers and the importance of our position has been incredible. The support and opportunities you provide have made a huge difference for so many of us. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all you've done. Thanks again!"
Long Snapper - UT - 2024
"You are the best, my son loves coming to your camps!"
Parent - WA - 2024
"We have been working with Rubio Long Snapping for almost exactly one year. From top to bottom, this organization is results oriented and IT SHOWS. The results are fast and furious. My high school son had never long snapped and one year in he is a legitimate long snapper. We have worked with Rubio's instructor, Jason Bertoni, for a year and he is awesome. We have attended two camps, and will be attending Vegas this year (2024). We also recently did a trip to Idaho for some one-on-one coaching with Rubio himself and the results were phenomenal. Totally blew my expectations out of the water. If the goal is to become the best long snapper you can, Rubio will make it happen. We have spent a decent amount of money and I don't regret one penny. "
Parent - CA - 2024
"I took him to Dallas and my husband took our son to Nashville and both of us loved Rubio's message and the way he handles the kids."
Parent - TX - 2024
"I genuinely appreciate your camps. Many of my players reside in poverty and I am very cautious about who I recommend as it is rare to find positive, honest, quality instruction. You provide this along with great recruiting advice. I will ensure my snappers attend moving forward."
Parent - SC - 2024
"My son and I attended your camp today in Concord, NC. We have been to numerous camps and yours was the best specialty camp I have seen. I truly enjoyed how you interacted with the kids. Even while you were just talking, you were still teaching them how to carry a conversation, look people in the eye, etc. Excellent job Coach"
Parent - NC - 2024
"Your assistance definitely helped me step up my game and was a huge factor in getting committed. I just wanted to express my appreciation!"
Long Snapper - CAN - 2024
"Hey Rubio, Thank you for the coaching and guidance through the last couple years at your camps. Thank you and your team for everything you have done."
Long Snapper - TX - 2024
"Rubio: Thanks again for another amazing camp! Your instructors were great as always. It's so impressive how you and your staff really invest in these athletes with the large numbers yet they ALL get coached up. I know my son got a lot out of the camp and I'm looking forward to seeing another jump in his growth from the feedback he received. As a coach and as a dad I enjoy seeing great instruction/coaching leading to improvement. Once again, thank you for all you do for these athletes and the game!"
Parent - NC - 2024
"Thank you for all you taught: snapping, recruiting, communication, etc. Very impressed."
Parent - SC - 2024
"It was great meeting you, your camp is fantastic"
Parent - CA - 2024
"Post Sunday’s session, my son got in the car and immediately told me mom I want to work with Rubio more. To say he took an immediate liking to your personality and coaching style is an understatement"
Parent - FL - 2024
"Just wanted you to know my wife and I really enjoyed last night's zoom meeting."
Parent - TX - 2024
"My son is a return camper from last year's Charlotte Camp. I will say that experience alone has transformed this young man into a competitive long snapper for our high school. I'm not only his dad, but I am also the offensive coordinator. Seeing his growth has been awesome from a coach's perspective"
Parent - NC - 2024
"I wouldn't have been able to receive my first offer if it wasn't for the amazing coaching, camps, and recognition from you guys!"
Long Snapper - OR - 2024
"Thank you for helping me get the opportunity to play football at the next level!"
Long Snapper - NC - 2024
"Thanks for a great camp in Vegas. My son had a blast at the camp and it was a chance for the two of us to take a trip together and spend a bunch of time together. Can’t beat that! Looking forward for the next one."
Parent - MA - 2024
"Thanks Rubio for providing such a great and well organized event. Also for having some of the best instructors in the business."
Parent - TX - 2024
"Coach, Vegas was incredible and the best the best camp we have been to yet. I want to thank you for commitment and dedication to supporting these athletes. My son started snapping in Junior Football because he had to and because of your program, he absolutely loves it and can't get enough of it. We have only been doing the camps for a year (Chicago, LA, and Vegas) but I believe they have provided my son the confidence to exceed his own expectations of the beginning HS football"
Parent - MO - 2024

Parent - CA - 2023
"It was well worth the 10-hour drive to come and get some work in"
Parent - AL - 2023
"Mr. Rubio, I wanted to reach out and thank you for being a huge part of our son's journey. Just 2 years ago our son came to us and asked for Christmas to take him to a Rubio Long snapping camp. So for Christmas we surprised him and took him to your
Chicago camp . I remember leaving that camp and he said in the car that he had new goals for his life to first be one of your top snappers with a top 12 invite.second he was going to be the starting snapper for his high school and he wanted to prove to everyone and himself that he could reach the top. He committed very fast when Maine offered him full scholarship and they told him they wanted him to be starting as a freshman. This amazing opportunity would have never been possible if it was not for your camps we attended to get him ready for the next level. We want to thank you for providing the support and inspiring these teen boys to never give up on a dream of becoming their best. Thank you again and I believe his football story has just begun!"
Parent - OH - 2023
"Thanks for the great camp in Danville (Cruz is awesome), and for answering all our questions on the post camp zoom last night. We are excited to have found your program and look forward to growing our skills. We also appreciate that parents could engage, interact, take videos and learn at the camp. It was a great experience!"
Parent - CA - 2023

"Wanted to thank you for the great camp. I especially like that its not just about snapping but you are developing the boys to be better young men."
Parent - IA - 2023
"Coach Rubio is the finest long-snapping football coach out there! My son has been traveling from Canada to his camps in the U.S. for a few years. As a result, he continues to significantly improve his long-snapping abilities in every facet due to Coach Rubio and his team. My son and I have the utmost respect for Coach Rubio and will easily attest that if your child wants to get dramatically better, there is no better camp around."
Parent - Canada - 2023
"I wanted you to know that none of this (offer to a college) would have been possible without you. We truly appreciate all of your guidance and input. Above all, we are most grateful for who you are as a person. Thank you!!!"
Parent - ID - 2023
"Hello Coach,
I spoke with you briefly today, but I wanted to send you an email just to reiterate what an outstanding and different (in the best possible way) kind of camp you run.
As a former collegiate athlete who married a collegiate athlete, my husband and I are quite familiar with sports camps. From attending them ourselves and sending our two sons to them practically since they could walk and carry a ball- we’ve been to oodles! Can I just say that your Rubio Long Snapping “school” was far and away the BEST experience for both our son and us as parents? You are definitely living out your calling! You have a true gift for relating to young men and a clear passion for making them not just better snappers but better humans! Small things like coaching kids up on how to have a conversation are so important and you took the time to do that. I just love that! My husband and I really appreciate that you also got the parents involved with the snapping and taught us what to look for and how to help, as you coached the athletes. Thank you for giving clear instructions in easy to remember ways. All of this was done with many laughs to help calm the nerves of snappers and parents alike! I can’t forget to mention the quality coaches that were helping all day. What a wonderful opportunity for our son to rub shoulder with those guys! He’s beyond excited to go home and get to work on practicing what he learned today! Talk about getting our money’s worth and then some! "
Parent - MI - 2023

Parent - KY - 2023
"Mr Rubio I would like to thank you and your staff for having my 12 year old John at your New Jersey camp.He had the time of his life yesterday. Your staff was incredible and very encouraging and I would highly recommend your camp to any serious Long Snapper and will definitely be back for more instruction. Thank you so much"

"Your camp was worth EVERY penny! The improvement in my son's long snapping is proof positive!"
Parent - NC - 2023
"Just wanted to say thank you for a great camp in Atlanta. My boys had a great time. You and your team did a fantastic job."
Parent - FL - 2023
"Just wanted to say my son and I enjoyed the GA camp this weekend. I appreciate your attention to the parents in addition to the campers, and providing some advice to the kids about how to present themselves to others (it is amazing how different that hits coming from someone other than mom or dad). We will definitely be back!"
Parent - GA - 2023
"Rubio is an excellent communicator and teacher"
Parent - GA - 2023
"I just wanted to reach out to thank you for all the exciting opportunities working with you has brought to my son. I appreciate you giving him the chance to compete in the underclassman invitational last summer, which was a massive contributor in opening the door to his recruiting. As soon as his ranking from Vegas came out, he was hearing from coaches. We are not sure where our son will end up, but we are enjoying the process as a family and are grateful."
Parent - MA - 2023

Parent - SC - 2023
"First, it was a genuine pleasure to meet you. I was really, really impressed with what you've done, and how you ran the sessions. The drills and techniques are the right ones, and I wish we would have spent our time and money with you over the last 3 years instead of elsewhere."
Parent - TX - 2023
"Coach Rubio, Happy Holidays. I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the coaches from your long snapping camp this past Sunday in New Jersey. Simply put, just another fantastic experience! This was my son’s second camp, but being a 13 year old 8th grader, and one of the younger athletes in the group, he may have been a bit nervous but that disappeared when checking in. The lead coach who lives in the Chicago area, whose name I have shamefully forgotten, actually recognized my son from the camp in April and struck up a short conversation with him. All the coaches were great, personable, connected with the athletes really well, all the while providing a ton of insights, corrections, and tips for the players and parents alike. My son and I are very appreciative of the experience and can’t wait until his next opportunity to attend one of your camps. If you would, please extend my sincere gratitude and a “great job” to all the coaches who worked this event."
Parent - PA - 2022
"Thanks for making my son's first camp amazing. We are already planning our next one."
Parent - MI - 2022

Long Snapper - UT - 2022
"Thank you for building them to be the best snappers, and men, that they can be. As I’ve told our friends with boys interested in getting started, it’s so much more than snapping a ball. It’s a great journey, full of big lessons learned both on and off the field. But it’s also a tight knit family - and that’s the biggest - and most unexpected blessing - of it all. Thank you!"
Parent - TX - 2022
"Congratulations on this great article! You continue to do tremendous work"
Parent - NJ - 2022
"Rubio! Wow, thank you for a great camp experience yesterday. I have no doubt that training with the stretching, form exercises and snapping drills we went through yesterday are going to mean great things are to come. The coaching you and the guys provided was absolutely fantastic. We are excited to be part of the family and to watch our son grow and develop into a GREAT Long Snapper! We look forward to seeing you at camp!"
Parent - NC - 2022

"Thanks for an amazing training camp on Sunday. We drove back to Jacksonville after camp, and as soon as we got back, my son wanted to work on what he had learned. We spent an hour outside working on eliminating the hitch. I know you were busy yesterday, thanks for taking time out for my son. Looking forward to spending 4 years with you and your staff."
Parent - FL - 2022
"Rubio, Now, that our son is half way through his final season of College Football, I wanted to share with you some of what he’s been able to accomplished over his college career. His Mom and I, could not be more proud of him, and we’re both mindful and thankful for the influential role you’ve played in helping him along the way. Your instruction and guidance has helped him to remain focused, on and off the field, and grow from the boy we dropped off in Norman six years ago, to the young man he is has become now. Thank you!"
Parent - OH - 2022
"in a great position as a freshman competing for the starting spot and wouldn’t be here without your help."

Parent - CA - 2022
"Coach, I wanted to thank you for doing what you do and how you do it! My two boys both attended your Nor Cal camp last month and it changed all of our perspectives. The boys had a blast while learned a ton, and for me it renewed my faith in youth football camps. A lot of youth football camps today have seemed to turn more into a money grab than any actual quality instruction. Your camp was fun, competitive, and educational…exactly what a youth football camp should be!"
Congrats to you and keep up the good work!!
Parent - CA - 2022

Invaluable lessons no doubt."
Parent - IL - 2022

Since we came back from our Lewiston visit with you before Christmas, my son has completely done a 180 degree turnaround in his dedication to school and snapping. He has built a relationship with his counselor (ex D1 baseball player) and has a solid plan to fix his past grades and excel in his classes now and going forward."

"Just attended Vegas XXXIX and could not send enough thank you's out to Coach Rubio and his entire team. It was our families first Vegas, but unless the good Lord has a different plan, it will not be our last. Our son can’t stop talking about the experience and how much he took away from the camp. It was easy to see how much the instructors wanted the kids to succeed and progress. The continual interactions they had with the kids, as well as one on one conversations was heartwarming for this parent to watch. Rubio, you have taught these young men to respect others as equal human beings, and for that you get much RESPECT from this West Virginia family. May God continue to bless you, your work, your family, and anything and everyone you come in contact with. I will leave you with this: THANK YOU SIR!!
Parent - WV - 2022

Parent - LA - 2021
"Hey Coach Rubio! Just want to thank you for an amazing experience at camp in Dallas yesterday. It was everything I had hoped my son would get to experience. It was fascinating watching him learn, not only from you and your staff but from the other more experienced and better long snappers. Literally watched him make adjustments and improve. Also want to thank you for what you are teaching these young men. I’ve seen a profound difference in my son since he started following you on social media. He’s always been a smart kid, but now he has a plan. He cares more about his grades and is applying himself. Asking me to line up tutors instead of it being my idea."
Parent - TX - 2021
"We just wanted to take a moment and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your help
instructing, training, and motivating our three long-snappers. From the moment we met you, we knew
you were going to have a tremendous impact on our boys in the most positive of ways. Heck! You had a
tremendous impact on us, as parents!"
The boys have loved each and every moment at camps and Vegas! You instilled confidence and drive and
pride in their skill. You provided essential constructive criticism in a professional and caring way to help
each of them achieve their potential. You set the bar high and assured them it was within their reach.
From our perspective, you taught us how to be "proper" sports parents. You helped us to navigate the
college search. You continually emphasized the need to maintain good academic standing. You, by
setting a standard with our children, allowed us to have open conversations about the dangers of
improperly managed social media profiles. You taught us how to support their skill and training.
Stay just as fabulous as you are now, Rubio! Looking forward to a very long friendship with you and
long-snapping careers for our boys."

Greatly appreciated the time and personal attention.
We can’t thank you enough for what you have unlocked in our boy.
The “Rubio” experience has exceeded all expectation every step of the way.
Your platform has been more of a blessing for our child, and our family, than we ever could have imagined.
So grateful to you and your team for a truly first class experience.
Amazing visit to ID.
Tremendous Vegas camp experience again. As usual."
Parent - NC - 2021

"Hey Rubio the Midwest camp was great. We had a group of instructors that were knowledgeable and helpful. I always tell people that I try to put my son around good people to help shape his life and focus on making himself better. Well I can tell you that I didn’t just put my son around good people instructing Rubio Long Snapping I put him around great people. You and Neal Dahlman have made a profound impact on my son in short period of time. Thanks for helping push son towards greatness."

Parent - GA - 2021
"Hey Rubio! This is _________ out of __________ University. I wanted to take some time to say thank you for helping me turn my life into something better with long snapping. Before I got into long snapping and went to one of your camps I was failing high school and had no future ahead of my life. You helped me realize the importance of an education and to be a leader. This transformed me and I finished high school being a straight A student and got an opportunity to play at the next level. I took all your advice that you gave me and translated it all on the field, weight room, practice and meetings. I was honored to be named a captain of the team as a freshman which was the first time that has ever happened at my school. It felt to good to be true and everything that I worked for had finally paid off. I just wanted to say thank you for helping me save my future and turning me into a young man ready to take on the world."
Long Snapper - VA - 2021
"Rubio, I know that you have texted with Scott and our son today and I wanted to send my thanks. I can’t begin to thank you enough for your honesty, support and integrity. The recruiting process was eye opening in many ways and you and Neal really helped our son with the process. He was humble, confident and stayed positive the entire time. The coaching and feedback you provided contributed to his ability to handle all situations that came his way. We look forward to seeing you in March at the Chicago Camp, but wanted to be sure you knew today how much we appreciate you."
Parent - IL - 2021
"Rubio long snapping so much more than just learning how to snap. Rubio grooms his snappers on how to withstand pressure, how to utilize social media, interviews, etc. it’s the whole package!!!"
Parent - NC - 2021
"Our son's three years at _______ College were made possible because of the help and encouragement you gave him. He snapped all three seasons, played in a lot of big games, and, during his third and final season, was captain four times! The strong legacy of the Rubio Family carries on! Our family is sending another one your way, and we are excited to get him there to you. The Rubio Brand has meant so much to him and to our family."
Parent - NC - 2021
"Can’t say enough good things about Rubio’s instruction. When my son started learning how to snap around the 6th grade we watched YouTube videos and tried to mimic what we saw and it got us started...sorta. We knew what we thought it should look like, but truly learning the art of the position and the mental as well as mechanical aspects of Long Snapping my son has learned so much from Rubio. He learned not only the craft of the position, but how to compete, and tons of life lessons along the way. Lessons that will carry on to college and in his adult life. I can’t thank Rubio for the lessons I learned along the way as well, and the experiences it has afforded my child and myself to have from one side of the country to the other together. If your child wants to learn Long Snapping.... I would not hesitate in recommending Rubio. He is bar none the best at what he does!"
Parent - GA - 2021
"Hey Coach. I wanted to reach out and give my thanks to you and your coaching staff. As this was our first experience at one of these camps, I need to tell you. Top shelf coach. Top shelf. The organization of the event and how the information was disseminated to parents/snappers before and during the event was great. I like the focus on engaging the parents, just enough, to allow for an inclusive event; but still keeping primary focus on the athletes. Your time management was spot on. I know that with a large group (and group COVID concerns) that you made an detailed effort to be on schedule. That is not easy. As I reviewed videos you posted on athletes from 2021, 2022, 2023, and the 2024 group that my kid is in, I was impressed with how much you put into each athletes review. That can’t always be an easy task; but it matters. Nice work."
Parent - CA - 2021
"Coach Rubio it was an honor to be at your camp this past weekend in Vegas. Our son as so excited to be there and has come home more committed than ever to be the best of the best.

I would recommend to any parent spend the money and go! It is worth it."
Parent - TX - 2021
"Just a note to say how much we enjoyed the Vegas camp and all the camps we’ve attended. Coach Rubio and his staff always find a way to make the kids feel confident to bring out their best. He really seems to know the kids who attend by name and not just by a number. Luke really looks forward to attending the camps and learning from the best. He really enjoys long snapping a lot. Thanks again to everyone who works hard to make these camps a success. A special thanks to Samatha too!"
Parent - MO - 2021

Parent - NJ - 2020
"Dear Rubio, As a parent, watching my son sign his NLI yesterday, I couldn't help but think of how much a part you played in this process. What started three years ago as a trip to a camp to learn a little about long snapping has definitely turned out to be so much more. The atmosphere and instruction that you and your staff provided at the camps was fantastic but most important was the mental strength and confidence my son gained through these events. I can still remember how nervous he was the night before his first varsity game, after discussing his experiences with pressure situations at your camps he ultimately went out and snapped with confidence the entire game and continued this throughout his high school career. Now as he has committed to a partial scholarship to continue his academic and athletic career I'm grateful for the guidance you have provided on staying patient with the recruiting process, which can be very frustrating at times. The information provided to the parents in regards to contacting schools, creating highlight video, attending college camps, etc. was invaluable and there is no doubt in my mind we would not have gotten to this point without it. For that I want to Thank You for everything you have done for my son and our family!"

"Hey Rubio! I wanted to thank you for all of the camps I’ve gone to. I’m very thankful for how much you’ve helped me, snapping and recruiting wise. I wouldn’t be where I am without you and I’m very thankful for that! I always recommend other snappers to go to your camps because of how great of a coach you are.

I’ve met many amazing friends along the way and I wouldn’t trade any of my experiences at your camps for anything. You’re the number one snapping coach in my eyes."

Teacher - 2019 - ID
"Coach Rubio,my son talked about the experiences of the camp all the way home and cannot wait for the next camp.For me (the Parent)
This was the best camp we have ever been to. (I have been to MANY camps. I have 4 children all are multi-sport athletes, Baseball, Football, Softball, Volleyball, etc.)
Check-in went quick and easy. May have been in line 30 seconds.
The amount of instruction was over the top and greatly appreciated.
Instructors were eager to help, friendly, easy to approach. Almost as if my player was the only player on the field with them.
Instructors were extremely knowledgeable about Long Snapping.The structure and flow of the camp was great as well. The Campers (and Parents) never got bogged-down in one drill or exercise.The fact that the parents are involved in the entire camp and are able to hear all of the teaching points was phenomenal.Breaking down video of each player was very helpful. It allowed everyone to see what you are supposed to be doing versus what you ARE doing. I cannot thank you enough for allowing us this experience"
Parent - AL - 2019
"Know that our family is thankful that you were part of our son's life. While he did not chose to pursue LS after graduation he did have the opportunity. The life lessons at your camps as well as the technical teaching was incredible. The greatest thing you did for my kid was to infuse a confidence in him that we could not. You helped him/us with a really tough time his senior year of football.
Many times since my son has been in college his mom and I have reminded him the words you repeated so many times. “Your are not the first person to experience this and you won’t be the last one to go through it.” We are thankful that you found your calling to be a mentor to so many kids. It goes a lot deeper than teaching a kid to snap a ball."
Parent - WA - 2019

Parent - MA - 2019
"Hi Mr. Rubio, I just wanted to thank you for your GA camp. We weren't sure taking him this year in 8th grade was going to be worthwhile, but quickly realized it was! We traveled with our crew from the Pittsburgh area to come--and we were not disappointed. It was a great group of kids and coaches. My son mentioned how he appreciated the level of feedback he received from several coaches throughout the day and seems encouraged to continue to get better. We hope to be back for more! Thanks for doing what you do."
Parent - PA - 2019
"Rubio, as a parent, thank you for putting on such a good camp. This was my son's 2nd camp and he continues to tell me what he is going to work on so that he can take his skills to the next level. It was also nice being able to talk to the college players and hearing the stories of their journeys."

Your support and guidance has helped our son mature as a snapper and overall man as he enters into his college career. The way he has perfected his craft through your instruction has been amazing to witness. We couldn’t have been more prepared for this process and we have you to thank for that. We are glad he will be so close to you because we will be so far if he ever needs a good kick in the butt. The Rubio family is strong and our son can’t wait to learn under the other Rubio Long Snapper at the school . We will see you in Vegas for another great camp! . #godsplan #thefactory

The Brotherhood he's formed with long Snappers from all over the country at these camps is a huge part of his journey and for me it's a joy to watch. The enthusiasm you bring I truly believe helps all these boys enjoy the experience it's an amazing culture you've created, as a coach myself I appreciate all the time and effort you put in along with all the other coaches. I'll be sad when it's over."

She also made new friends at the Camp and they are planning to meet up again at the next one! Thank you for taking the time to talk to the parents, too. We are brand new to long snapping and this was our first Camp, so the information you shared was much appreciated!"
Parent - CA - 2019

Parent - NC - 2019
"Your training was priceless, and it helped him gain an athletic scholarship to play college football. He had several offers from each level."
Parent - CA - 2019
"Rubio,
You don’t need to respond to this email, I’m sure you get so many after a whirlwind week like you just completed.
Just wanted to thank you for a great camp. We have gone to quite a few over the last year and it’s easy to see that some are “money grabs” with little thought put into the agenda or instruction. Your camps always leave us feeling like we received our money’s worth. The campers get great instruction and have fun in the process. I have never seen a camp coach spend 3 hours one-on-one with the campers. That was impressive.
And the camps are great because you’re a teacher. I know you’re no longer in the classroom but you are a teacher- and a great one. As a 14 year high school principal/administrator, I have always said your best coaches are also great teachers. This is because they’re great communicators and they know how they get their message across to kids. Watching you communicate with kids, it’s easy to see that you were and are an outstanding teacher.
I understand in my position that people often stop only to communicate when you’re doing something wrong, or they’re unhappy. I wanted to be sure you realize, from a parent’s perspective, there is nothing but positive going on at a Rubio Camp."
Parent - LA - 2019
"We just wanted to thank you so much for all your support--always! Your guidance, coaching and mentoring for Rocco is very much appreciated."
Parent - FL - 2019
"Rubio, The _______ Family wanted to thank you again for everything you have done to help prepare our son and us for the next step in his long snapping journey. When we first started with long snapping we attended a few other camps, but once we discovered Rubio Long Snapping, we knew we had found our long snapping family. From the very first camp to TOP 12 we found students, families, and coaches that were welcoming and helpful, and most importantly we found you and a great team of professionals working together to develop the very best long snappers. Like you always say, to be the best you have to compete against the best and the best is what we always found at your events. We will miss all of the long snappers and families we met through your program, but will look forward to following their careers and cheering for them on Saturdays!"
Parent - CA - 2019

"Just a note to complement you and the Rubio team for creating a great first experience for my son at yesterday’s camp. He really enjoyed the whole experience from getting to meet others kids to the speed competition at the end of the day. He learned a tremendous amount in the one day camp and is looking forward to others to come. Thanks again for running a well oiled machine of a camp and creating a positive influence for my son."
Parent - TX - 2019
"As a mom I would like to simply say thanks to you and all your staff for helping our son when he came to your camp in 2015. This was his 1st long snapping camp ever to attend. I remember him telling me and his dad how much he loved being able to go because it taught him all the fundamentals that he was lacking. He was saying how all the coaches there helped him perfect his skill and it was something he would never forget. So with that being said THANKS SO MUCH for that r are opportunity from our family! My son has committed to ______________ College to play at the next level."
Parent - 2019 - LA
"Coach I wanted to personally thank you for your program and for all of the work that you put in to the long snappers around the US. 14 months ago, our son had his first official training event and it was with the Rubio program. I look back on the videos from that first training event in Dallas and it is very clear to me that the Rubio program works. From the warm ups, at home drills and specific snapping techniques, everything is a tool for improvement. Our goal was for our son to be able to play on varsity as a junior and attending that first camp was meant to be an opportunity to improve and give our son a better chance of achieving that goal. That camp not only gave him the tools to succeed, but it also gave him confidence in the technique and in the position. Your approach is very thoughtful and incredibly effective. My son is blessed that you took the risk to create the Rubio Factory and we are very appreciative and grateful for everything you do and how hard you work for your long snappers. We look forward to seeing you at the Rubio Dallas event in April. Thank you again for everything you do!"
Parent - TX - 2019
"Just a quick note of thanks for the awesome weekend in Vegas. My son learned a ton, had a blast and made a bunch of new friends.the professionalism and organization of your camps is unlike any camp my kids have ever been associated with. Loved the music as well. Watching the kids and instructors jam to tunes showed the spirit of what the boys and your camps are all about. Amazing experience that I’m glad we all were a part of."
Parent - CT - 2019
"Rubio, Just wanted to drop you a quick line and say thank you. Our son, had never attended any camps before and had started to try and learn long-snapping on his own. (With some help from his parents, mostly his Mom.) We came across you on social media and decided to sign him up for the Vegas camp. (We had no idea that was kind of a showcase event, but Vegas in January coming from Colorado sounded nice.) As we drove in on the morning of day one, he and I knew that maybe we had bitten off a little more than we could chew. As we warmed up, it was apparent that he had a long way to go to be in the same league as the other athletes that were there. As a parent, I was concerned, wondering how much time and attention he would get from the coaches. Happy to say we were thrilled. You and your staff were great. They treated him well and man did he improve. Competition day was a great experience. He struggled at times, as you might expect. I highly doubt any college scouts will be looking at him based on his performance, but he got much better and more importantly, he’s excited about it and wants to come back next year and attend some of your other camps in the meantime. Point is, I know a lot of people come to you with hopes of getting exposure to colleges and instruction for their athletes. We came with a different goal, we simply wanted him to learn how to long-snap from the best. It would have been easy for your staff or you to overlook our son at an event like that, filled with the top HS long-snappers across the country. I walked away impressed and grateful, because he gained a lot of skill and a lot of confidence from being there. Thank you. We’ll see you again soon."

He hasn’t been part of your program for nearly as long as a lot of the other kids, but the impact you’ve had on him both as an athlete and as a person is very much appreciated. Thanks Rubio! You’re the real deal."

"It’s official. Thanks for helping my son reach his potential. It’s and rare honor to be able to play Division 1 football. But through long-snapping, my son will be playing D1 football at one of the best schools in the world. Neither of those things would have been possible without the development of his long-snapping skills and the national evaluation that you do to help college coaches find talent."
Parent - IL - 2018
"Having gone around the country with our daughter to national volleyball events and showcases I usually go into them skeptical seeing if they are a money grab or a legit event. I can say with 100% certainty your event was one of the best instructional camps I’ve been to. To see my son improve that much in just a day was awesome to see. You were amazing with the boys and the parents while giving quality instruction and critique when necessary. So thank you so much for hosting such a great event. It was an A++. Looking forward to the next one."

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

Parent - IL - 2018
"Thank you for Rubio Long Snapping! I remember taking my son to his first camp when he was just going into 9th grade. He could barely snap 8 yards and it was horrible. If we didn't find you, we would have never this day!" (after he just committed to college)
Parent - CA - 2018
"Rubio, I hope all is well with you. I wanted to share some thoughts with you. I was looking back at the videos on your web site of my son when he went to the first Rubio camp in Chicago. I watched the videos as he progressed through the years and then had the extreme pleasure and pride to watch him run on the field at __________. I have to admit I had a tear in my eye. I thought of the other players on his high school team who thought long snapping was not a real position, who laughed when he was on the side of the field going through his slow motion drills and snapping into a net, while the “real” players practiced. He is the ONLY D1 player from his team now. I thought about the role that you and your program played in this progression and I have come to the following conclusions:
1. The drills, the form, and the technique provided the base.
2. The competitions at the camp provided the confidence to snap under pressure
3. The fun atmosphere at the camps made the experience one that wanted him to not want to miss a camp
4. The fairness of the rankings provided a realistic set of goals to achieve
5. The Vegas camps provided a forum for the boys to create friendships with others around the country.
I think the fact that you have created a stage that allows the boys to showcase the results of their hard work on a National level is what allows the opportunity for these boys to be a part of D1 teams that would simply not exist if your program was not in place. Let’s be honest, 99% of the boys in your program could not play other positions at top D1 programs due to size, speed, and overall abilities. Not much of a calling for a 6’2” 230 pound player who runs a 5.0 40 in major college football. Well there is now!
I am very thankful that we discovered you and your program. While I know that my son had to put the work in and he did, I know that that you played a large role. I have been thinking about this email for a few weeks now since the first game they played against Michigan and am sorry it has taken me so long to send this. I am proud to say we are part of the Rubio family.
In summary, Thank you!"
Parent - IL - 2018

Long Snapper - OK - 2018
"Hi Rubio! I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the great job you do. My son has been to 12 of your camps now and he has learned something at each and every one of them! He has gained skills, confidence, meeting other players, experiencing the pressure, info on recruiting…etc. The funny and laid back way you run your camps makes the boys want to learn and work hard. What you do for the players and for Long Snapping in general is much appreciated and you are a great role model!"

Parent - IL - 2018
"Hi Rubio, First of all, you and Samantha run a great camp! Secondly, thank you. Thank you for this opportunity for these guys to get together. Look at this picture. A thousand words can’t explain how I feel right now. Two years ago my son would not speak to anyone out of shyness and low self esteem. Last year he started coming out of his shell because of your instructors. They gave him encouragement that he could be good at snapping, but the most important thing was they just showed interest in him. During the last two Vegas events he finally started talking to other kids. And then last night happened....He and one kid decided to get a burger together. Then two kids became four, then ten! They all went to the movie together, got ice cream and hung out until we parents had to make them go to bed. They call themselves the “Sauna Club” because they all hit the hotel sauna together. It’s not about rankings for me. It’s about this. Camaraderie, relationships and friends for life. Thanks again for putting this event together!"

He is shining amongst several clearly non-Rubio trained snappers. The factory is real. My son looks like a professional in that he’s been taught well and has honed his craft and has confidence in his process. Don’t know that we’d even be attempting this journey without the Rubio family and training."
Parent - VA - 2018
"I want to thank you for the part you played in my son's development into the fine young man that he is today. Your camps and mentoring have been a vehicle for my son to follow his dreams. They have kept him focused and driven and I owe that all to Rubio Longsnapping. I’m sure many parents tell you similar stories. You have developed something that provides a lot of young men direction and purpose and that’s pretty cool."
Parent - OH - 2018
"Rubio - Just wanted to thank you for being you!! The coach, the mentor, the motivator and the man that you are. All that you do via social media, recruiting and the camps is TRULY appreciated. We’ve been discussing daily about him starting to “get it” and really apply himself to his studies and his long snapping. Seeing your daily motivational meme today really hit home. As parents we can talk and talk, but when our kids hear our message from an independent source.... they start to see the light and start to “get it”. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you!! We are proud to be part of the Rubio family."

From beginning to end, and third Vegas for us it’s great to be a part of the Rubio family. So nice to meet new families from different areas. Thank you again."
Parent - NJ - 2018
"Rubio, I wanted to reach out and acknowledge how impressed we were with the Las Vegas event. My son has experienced many camps to-date for a rising ninth grader, but this weekend’s event was by far the best. The training, the competition, the preparation and setting was outstanding. Thanks again."
Parent - MS - 2018
" we wanted to thank you for everything you have done for our son. When he went to his first camp in April of 2015 he was a shy little kid that didn't know anyone or what to expect. After attending many Rubio camps he now has a confidence that is amazing. He had made a lot of friends at your camps and he communicates with his peers regularly. You have given our son so much more than the ability to be a good longsnapper. You have taught him life lessons that have made him a better person. We couldn't be happier with the progress our son has made both as a longsnapper and as a person and you are such a big part of that."

Parent - OH - 2018
"Coach I wanted to let you know how much my son enjoyed your camp. I was so surprised how interactive it was with the parents. I was a specialist in college. We can't wait to get to another camp and we're looking at the Charlotte one if summer football allows. What he enjoyed the most was being around the older kids and them taking him under the wing. Little and McLaughlin from North Carolina both made it a point to come up to him and talk to him. What great role models. Thank you again for the experience and we can't wait for the next camp."
Parent - NC - 2018
"Just wanted to thank you for an awesome camp experience this past Sunday in Georgia. It was my son's first time attending! He was intimidated at first, but that quickly wore off once the camp started. We were so impressed with how nice and helpful the "veteran parents" were to us as well as the "veteran campers" were to my son. The camp was so informative and my son learned so much. His snapping has already started to improve. We definitely will be attending the camp in GA on July 1st. Thank you again for an awesome day."
Parent - SC - 2018
"Rubio, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the time that you spent with my son this past weekend at the GA camp. Your attitude and words of inclusion made him fell at ease around others despite his youth and level of experience. Moreover, the older kids emulated your attitude towards all of the other younger athletes making them feel as though they are part of the Rubio Family."
Parent - GA - 2018
"Rubio, As my son leaves college football behind, he is not headed to the NFL, but he IS headed to Harvard Law School. The connection to long snapping may not be obvious to those who have not spent many hours sitting at your camps, but I think I owe you a thank you.
Thank you for drilling into your students the need for character, responsibility, and hard work. Thank you for always being honest with them about their strengths and weaknesses and for not handing out participation trophies. Most importantly, thank you for your constant refrain to be extremely thoughtful about their social media presence. That lesson alone might be worth the cost of the camps."
Parent - GA - 2018
"Dear Rubio,
Not Coach or Chris (paid attention) I always looked forward to listening to your instruction, your humor and seeing your passion displayed and shared. My son, his father and I appreciate everything that you have done for us these past four and a half years. Florida,
Chicago and Las Vegas were each special. My son has signed with _________ College to be their long snapper. I wanted you to know that your lessons, words of wisdom and knowledge has made a huge impact on all of us and I wanted to thank you for that. I also personally look forward to your daily quotes. Thank you and God Bless you and your family."
Parent - IL - 2018
"Rubio, We wanted to let you know how impressively Casey Hales singlehandedly ran the Arizona camp today. His time and attention with each snapper, along with such a great positive uplifting attitude all day long was enjoyable to watch. Every kid improved from the morning to the afternoon as a result of his time and detailed attention to every kid. It’s hard to believe that one person could do what he did. Thanks for all you and your staff do for these boys."
Parent - AZ - 2018
" I want to tell you what being part of the Rubio Family means to our family. I decided to bring my son son to a camp in 8th grade after he decided that he wanted to attend high school at football powerhouse. My goal for him was to get him a spot on the bus. At his first camp he was the only 8th grader, I remember him standing next to all the senior and JC players. I really thought I may have brought him too early. As the camp concluded, there was a competition. He competed against a JC player who had a hair bun and facial hair. That JC player went out of his way and encouraged my son. My son looked at him with great admiration, not only because of his snapping but because of his humility. My son left that camp and went home and practiced, even though he wasn't playing football.
A few month later we went to another camp, ironically, he was paired up and competed against the same JC player. This player remembered my son and again he was very gracious. On the surface he didn't do much, just provided encouragement. The reality is it meant a lot to me and it left a lasting impression to him. That JC player was Wes Bertoni.
At the time, I was debating the value of your camps. I know it's something you hear often, especially from parents of young long snappers. I'll tell you what sold me. First, it has very little to do with Long Snapping. You preached of good grades, good social media, being a good person, addressing coaches in a proper manner and working smarter not harder. But seeing how the other kid treat each other and seeing my son’s confidence grow I was hooked.
It was not until my my sons’ 10th grade year that we started going to Jason Bertoni. I cannot even begin to write about Bertoni, without getting emotional. He has done so much for my son and his snapping. The reality is Bertoni often acts more as a sport psychologist than a snapping coach. He is the most sincere coach I have ever met. Without a doubt, my son would not be in the position he is in without Jason and Wes Bertoni.
As my sons’ high school journey comes to an end, it is amazing to reflect back on everything you have taught US. I am currently in the position of remembering to breathe. More importantly, my son has learned life skills by coming to Rubio Long Snapping and going through this process.
Work smarter not harder, being consistent and steadfast not only in snapping, but also in his work ethic.
Give a firm hand shake, look the person in the eye and introduce yourself with confidence.
Market yourself appropriately, you are not only a reflection of yourself, but also your team.
You will compete and be ranked against your peers, if you don’t like your ranking keep working. Ironically that is how the promotion process at my work is conducted.
You will face rejection, move on. My son has sent hundreds of emails and received just as many rejections. I have also seen him bulldog his way past offensive lineman and quarterbacks to get face time in front of a college coach.
I often tell my son if he takes the lessons he has learned from long snapping and he applies them to his career he will be miles ahead of his peers.
However, my proudest moment came this weekend in Arizona when a young long snapper looked up at him with same star-struck eyes that gave Wes. My son recognized that the young man looked up to him and took him under his wing and provide him encouragement.
Rubio, my son’s journey is not done with you, however I want to sincerely thank you. Thank You for being a part of my son’s life and helping him grow into a young man. Whether you know it or not, by teaching him to long snap and recruit himself you reinforced life lessons that he will take with him outside of football. Quite frankly if all you taught was snapping, I may not have sent my son to so many of your camps. I am not trying to devalue your long snapping instruction, but I feel the true value of Rubio Long Snapping is in the life lessons that you teach. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the Rubio Family."
Parent - CA - 2018
"My sons both had a great time and I feel they learned a lot. Thanks for making your camps so much fun. I was pleasantly surprised at how different the camp was from the one we attended in Seattle last year. I was a little worried it would be the exact same thing and was happy that we did several drills we didn't cover last year."
Parent - ID - 2018
"Thanks for everything you have taught me. I received six offers. These opportunities were a direct result of adding the link to my Rubio profile to my scouting profile. Without your evaluations I am doubtful that I would have received these offers. I have committed to _________ as I felt it was the best fit for me academically, socially, and athletically. What a great experience this has been."
Long Snapper - LA - 2018
"We had a blast at the camp on Sunday, My son was very nervous being his first time ever long snapping but yourself and all the other guys made him feel comfortable. We learned so much in 1 day and will be back this fall. One more thing, a lot of the dads where very helpful in teaching me what I need to know, again thank you so much."
Parent - CAN - 2018

Parent - MS - 2018
"Dear Rubio, I recently watched your documentary, and I wanted to take time to add to what some of the parents shared about you. I am a teacher, and as you know, teachers are observers. I have watched children interact, parents interact with their own children, and other teachers interact with students, for more than 20 years. It is with these teacher eyes that I watch, and have made decisions over the years about who my children have continued to work with in their sports ventures. I hope that parents appreciate all the things that are truly going on at your camps beyond just the long snapping. I see you "read" the long snappers, and it is here that my "teacher eyes" see what sets your camps apart. It is not just their long snapping that you are watching. It is their stress level, the overall vibe of the group, and so much more. I have seen you make adjustments in an instant at several camps, and watched you ensure that your staff does the same. You know just when to adjust the work, and when to call the parents to speak with them. Someone who knows students knows there are many reasons why this is happening, and it is appreciated. You know what your long snappers can do, and you ensure they end on a positive note, even if it was just an off day for them. You read the parents, you see how they interact with their children, both at the regional camps, and at the larger events like Vegas. (I know parents are often the hardest part.) Your words of wisdom shared with the parents, for the benefit of the players, are superb. Likewise, is the interaction of your staff with parents. Our family is glad to have become a part of the Rubio Family. Have a wonderful spring camp season!"
Parent - NC - 2018
"We want to thank you for the last three days. They have been nothing short of amazing. What a wonderful experience for our son and for us as parents. Our son said “I can’t believe how much I improved just being there”. It truly is “ The Factory”."
Parent - NJ - 2018
"Rubio, Thank you for more than you’ll ever know: i.e…. For providing great instruction, motivation, leading to success and confidence. Providing a positive environment with integrity giving each individual the ability to grow and improve… with the bonus of making great friendships along the way. Friendships not just for the long snapper, but for the parents too!Having other parents to talk to, ask questions and share experiences with, has been a tremendous help. The contacts you have with colleges, coaches, the exposure your website, and social media provide are second to none. These words don’t seem to do justice to the amount of gratitude that this parent feels for your part in making their son’s dreams a reality."
Parent - TX- 2018
"I recommend you to anybody whose child is currently or even thinking of long snapping. The number that have gone on to college is very impressive. Even more impressive would be the number of kids whose grades have improved or number of kids whose communication skills with adults improved or number of kids who have more self confidence because of words you have spoken at camps. You are a factory that improves outcomes for life."
Parent - SC - 2018
"I just wanted to inform you that I have signed with Wesley College at the division III level as a longsnapper. I wanted to thank you for helping me achieve this dream of mine. You and your staff helped teach me a lot at the camps and I always watched your instructional videos to learn more about the position. I am honored to be a member of the Rubio Longsnapping family and once again, thank you for all you have done for my longsnapping career, and for helping me become a better person."

"there are no adequate words to express the family JOY in how we feel about my son committing to _________. So I won’t try to describe the feelings…but I want you to know that a simple “thank you” is far inadequate to express our appreciation for all that you and your program have done in my son's journey.
Thank you for being a long snapping savant.
Thank you for being a teacher, a mentor, an encourager.
Thank you for instilling a sense of pride into the young men…to be proud of their craft and the importance that the rest of the sporting world rarely appreciates.
Thank you for creating competition and pressure…invaluable.
Thank you for that smile that always lights up the room.
Thank you for being you.
Long ride since that lanky guy strolled into a Rubio Camp in 2012. Every step of the way has been worth it. Some of those steps more trying and painful than the rest…but one thing that my son never wavered from was belief that EVERYTHING happens for a reason…and something great would come from all the hard work, dedication and perseverance. That day is here! See you soon. And did I mention…THANK YOU?!?"
Parent - CA - 2018
"Just a big thanks to you and your entire staff for another great Vegas event. You are a huge role model for my son and for that I have to commend you. I don’t think there has been a day he has not gone to school without some form of RUBIO attire. He looks forward to each and every event you put on. All I can say is thank you thank you thank you!!!"

Parent - TX - 2018
"Because of your instruction, he not only had the skill, but the confidence, to compete on the field at that level. "
Parent - LA - 2018
"Throughout my career I have attended and hosted many large athletic events. I want to say I have never attended an event as well organized as your Long Snapping camp. You really have that thing dialed in. To keep over 300 young people engaged and on task is no easy feat. The college players you have working are outstanding role models for the kids attending your camp. I was also very impressed that the very talented individuals and those who possess very little talent got equal attention and encouragement from your staff. That does not always happen at these types of events. But, it's obvious you stress the importance this camp holds for every individual. Normally we only get emails when something goes wrong or when a parent is unhappy. I just wanted to drop you a note and say how much I admire and appreciate what you are doing for these young people. We need more individuals like you involved in the lives of these student athletes."
Thanks for the excellent work you do.
Parent - OR - 2018
"Hi Rubio. First, thanks for another great camp. You and your instructors in Vegas were phenomenal. When we were on the field we were surrounded by support and talent."
Parent - NC - 2018
"We first met you in May of 2016 at the Vegas camp where our eyes were really opened to the possibilities of long snapping after high school. It is hard to believe only 19 months later he signed a scholarship to Long Snap in College. There is no doubt in my mind that Rubio Long Snapping was a huge part of my son’s success to date in long snapping. A sincere thank you for helping to make our son’s dream a reality."
Parent - TX - 2018
"This was my first (hopefully of many) experiences with the Rubio Long Snapping team. I can't begin to tell you how much I (and my nephew) enjoyed this. Your instructors were absolutely phenomenal! I'll never forget Varnell's "WOOOOOOO", you and Arroyo's 15 minute bro hug, or Johnny from UCLA putting his lunch on the ground and putting off his well deserved break to help a father and son that were practicing their long snapping. You run a tight ship which is much appreciated, and I just can't tell you how much I appreciate the positive energy from the Rubio team! Great job and huge love and respect, looking forward to Dallas and Vegas!"
Uncle - TX - 2018
"Just wanted to say thank you again for a great experience in Vegas. My son had a blast and can’t stop talking about it. For what it’s worth I was very impressed by the way you and your staff communicated with the kids. Being a coach myself, too often I see the other end of the spectrum with coaches. You all were certainly a breathe of fresh air and I appreciate that as a coach and parent. Absolutely incredible what you have been able to do for the longsnapping position. I would have never dreamed that the art of longsnapping could have been taken to this level of exposure...very impressive."
Parent - FL - 2018
"Rubio, I’m sure are recovering from another successful Vegas Extravaganza! I just wanted to thank you and your staff for a fantastic first experience. Your enthusiasm and that of your instructors never wavered in spite of the long days. The organization and preparation made the event run like clockwork. We are excited about continuing the journey with you. Thank you again for your dedication to developing young minds and bodies in ALL aspects of their lives!"
Parent - SC - 2018
"The entire weekend amazed me. It started with three finalists speeches, one was better than the other. I was so impressed by each and everyone of them. They really made me look forward to a few more years with the Rubio family. All of the instructors at the camp couldn’t have been more attentive, positive, and so enthusiastic about being there. It made the days very entertaining . Finally, I was blown away by the class act of Ross Reiter giving up his #1 spot for another snapper. WHAT A GEM! If that is not family, I don't know what is. This was again a great experience for my son, with our second year with you and our second time in Vegas, we just wanted to thank you for yet again another great memorable camp. The improvement and motivation in one year is incredible and we are looking forward to seeing you soon"
Parent - NJ - 2018
"words can't describe how thrilled I am that my son is part of this unique and wonderful family of Rubio Long Snappers. We have been invited to stay in people homes From California, To Alabama to Georgia if we attend a camp in those areas. Thank you again for creating such a positive, inspiring and special environment for my kid and others to be part of. The lessons learned at these camps and being part of this fraternity that you have created go much further than just Long Snapping. But I think you know that. You are not just creating D! Long Snappers, you are helping create D1 Men. Thank you again for all the support you have given my son."

Parent - OH - 2017
"Rubio, I just want to let you know what your camps and guidance mean to us. It is always such a pleasure watching you connect with the the boys. You are clearly able to remember what it was like for you when you were their age. You relate as a friend while remaining an authority figure, mentor and guide - for the kids and the parents. My son has a great time every time we come. His confidence is growing not only with snapping but with the ability to break in to social circles and make friends. It was fun to see him mixing it up with the top snappers while also helping out some newer ones. Of course, the fun and increasing confidence has caused my son to increase the work he is putting in - yes for snapping, but life in general - because he is feeling good about the results. Hopefully he can continue to climb the ladder with you and in the world. We also have a great time spending those camp weekends together getting to know each other a little more. Just another grateful parent..."
Parent - IL - 2017

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

Parent - FL - 2017
"Dear Chris - We have never met, but you have indeed had a positive impact on our son, and therefore on our entire family. As our son's long snapping developed, we had many discussions in our home as to the right path for him. It became a matter of logistics as his school has Saturday classes and athletic teams, namely football and indoor and outdoor track, compete on Saturdays. It was frustrating for him to not be able to participate and compete in the vibrant Rubio community. This is where your messages on social media became so powerful. You inspired our son and kept him motivated with the constant positive posts. Being a long snapper can be lonely place especially in the off season. So many times our son would call me and say "Mom, did you see Rubio's post today? It is like he is speaking directly to me. He knows exactly what I am thinking and feeling" So, although we are not officially a Rubio snapper, you definitely had a hand in molding our son as a snapper and a hand in keeping him moving forward. Our family thanks you for that! Many thanks for giving so much to the Long Snapping world, and for inspiring one who you do not even know."
Parent - VA - 2017
"Keep up the great work that you do with these boys. Proud to be part of the Rubio family."
Parent - SC - 2017
"Dear Rubio,
A few weeks ago our son was fortunate enough to attend the Underclassmen Invitational in Tampa, FL. He had a great first day on Thursday, and really enjoyed getting to see friends he has made from around the country over the past few years, not to mention the great instruction that we value so much.
At about 6:00 am on Friday morning we started out on our drive over to the Underclassmen Invitational from our hotel for the start of the competition phase of the event.
As we were driving my son said to me "You know what Dad . . . today is going to be a great day". To which I replied, "That's great Son, what makes you say that?". He replied "Well you know I have been working hard, and today I get the chance to compete with a bunch of great friends, all of us just trying to get better at what we do together." Normally his demeanor on such a ride would be more reserved, more introspective, almost worried. But this was different, this was new, he had a different perspective.
And that is when it hit me, and I truly understood what was different. He was confident. I saw the value of great instruction and the satisfaction of having been prepared yielded CONFIDENCE.
The ability to have confidence in one's self, and understand what it feels like to be confident (yet humble) is an amazing gift. Anything is possible when a young man whole heartedly believes in his ability to work hard and have success, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
The more I thought about it, I realized that whether he becomes a D1 Scholarship Long Snapper or whether he never plays a down of college football, he will always have the experience of competing at a very high level with Rubio Long Snapping. He will always have this journey to self-reference, to build on, and grow as a person, and THAT is what I am truly thankful for.
Thanks for what you have done this far, and what I know you will continue to do in the years to come. We are proud to be part of the Rubio Family and Team Rubio.
Respectfully,
A Proud (and Thankful) Rubio Parent

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

"Rubio,
Now that the summer camp blitz has ended, I thought I would drop you a short note to thank you for the fantastic experience at the Underclassmen Invitational in Tampa. You and Sailor out did yourselves! What a great experience! While this was only my son's third camp with you, he has improved 10 fold under your guidance and tutelage. He gets really stoked when discussing his camp experiences and the work he knows he needs to put in to try to climb the Rubio ranking ladder. The life lessons he has gained from you is immeasurable and has changed him from a quiet shy kid to a confident young man. We can’t wait to see you again in Charlotte, NC in the fall and Vegas in January! Again, a big thank you for all you do for all the young long snappers and parents around the country."
Parent - SC - 2017
"The reason I am sharing this with you is because none of this would be as possible without YOU! I appreciate you helping to get my son to one of the finest universities in the country.

Parent - TX - 2017
" Hi Rubio,
I just want to officially thank you for the influence that you've had in my son's life. When he entered the world of long snapping, we had no idea how important the position was. We sent him to his first camp as a Sophomore and we were skeptical, to say the least. We saw a difference in him after attending 1 camp. He had a new found confidence and a desire to become better. He had found a group of kids that he could relate too.
As parents, my husband and I were impressed with the way parents were included in the camps. We learned the importance of practicing at home and were given the tools necessary to assist him in his growth as a long snapper. We were determined to have him attend every camp to improve his ranking.
The Vegas Camps were an experience that he'll never forget. He learned how to snap a ball under pressure and with every Vegas camp and local camp, we saw his ranking move up. It motivated him to keep training.
Senior year he was worried when the offers didn't start rolling in but you always reassured him to "ride the wave" and keep building relationships with coaches. Earlier this year, that offer finally came and it was an offer he couldn't pass up. He was offered a full ride to a D2 University based on his film, his grades and the fact that he is a product of Rubio Long Snapping.
As he prepares to leave California and head to Alabama, it is reassuring that he has a family of long snappers and trainers all over the country that he can reach out to. My family will always be grateful to you and your staff for helping him reach the next level."
Parent - CA - 2017
"I also appreciate the encouragement of the parents to be on the field. We have been to other camps, but this was the first one that I was able to be close and take notes and pictures"

Looking forward to many more camps in the future and he is enjoying the sessions with Finch through FaceTime. The teaching and practicing opportunities are endless. Hope to see you in Idaho this coming winter or spring."

He commented that it was the little things you pointed out that, once corrected, he could tell made a big difference in his snaps. We both appreciated your willingness to answer our many questions and I learned a great deal (and took notes) on how I could help him as well going forward. Even better, I was able to spend three days with my son doing something he truly loves."

Parent - IN - 2017
"Dear Coach Rubio, We wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for the time and attention you give each and every one of your long snappers. In January, my son went to Vegas for his first opportunity with Rubio. My husband and son were in awe by the camp that you ran in Vegas in January. My son came back very motivated to work even harder and was excited to sign up for the Arizona camp. With so many boys at the camp, we were amazed at the ability of you and your coaches to provide such helpful and specific feedback. I was able to attend the April camp with Ethan. We were so impressed by the time, attention, and expertise provided not only to the boys, but also to the parents about long snapping. We walked out of the recruiting meeting with our jaws on the floor. The information shared was incredibly informative and we know what we need to do if Ethan decides to pursue long snapping after high school. We were excited to see the improvement Ethan made from January to April, and we so appreciate the write-up on your blog and subsequent press release. Every person we have met in your organization is a class act. They are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and truly enjoy working with these young men. The example your coaches set for the boys is outstanding."
Parent - AZ - 2017
"Rubio- I must admit I was somewhat uneasy about attending a camp w/out you being there. I gotta tell you Corey did a phenomenal job!!
Obviously you already knew that to intrust him w/ your "name". Just wanted to give him kudos for an outstanding job and to you for always putting on absolutely the best camps in the world."

Parent - IL - 2017
"Rubio, Reflecting on yesterday's camp in Texas and all of our experiences with you, I wanted to send you a note to let you know how much I appreciate what you do. You have an amazing approach to connecting with the snappers. Teaching them in a fun way with examples they can relate to keeps them engaged and wanting more. Your positive attitude is contagious and encourages everyone that they can improve. My son has learned the art of long snapping from you but also what it is like to be coached through positive critiquing and sheer enjoyment of the sport. All of these things are priceless as we continue to encourage our son's passion for the game of football as well as the need to be a good human being. From my perspective, I would be remiss if I did not also share with you how much I appreciate what you have given us as parents. Coming in with no idea what to expect our son's sophomore year, the guidance you have given us along the way got us to the point we are now. Through your spot-on blogs, helpful and timely responses to our emails, informational camp details, and recruiting seminars that always have new and pertinent information for every step of the way we have felt informed and supported. Though the process is scary and often very frustrating and overwhelming, we so appreciate that the guidance you give was so accessible and applicable each and every time we felt we had hit a wall.

Parent - NV - 2017
"Thank you so much, Rubio! My family really appreciates all of the love and attention you have given to our son. It is amazing that you take the time to always go above and beyond the call of duty to promote the young men you are working with. You are a class act! There are a lot of organizations that are in your type of business who are in it for all of the wrong reasons. You set the standard of greatness. Our son is so much better as a long snapper and as a confident young man since he has been working with you. We plan on being continual members of the Rubio Family throughout his college career and beyond."
Parent - NC - 2017
"Rubio, Yesterday, I committed to ________ College in South Carolina! I really owe a great deal of my success to you. I really appreciate all of the help and feedback, not just on the field, but off the field as well. You've been a major help, and your camps are irrefutably conducive to player success. I'm really excited for this opportunity to play at the next level. Thank you! I'll see you on Sunday! EMBRACE!"
Long Snapper - NC - 2017
"By the way, that was a fantastic camp. My wife and I are both board members for _________ Youth Football. Through that we have seen many camps, from local high schools to FBU to colleges and yours was the most engaging, organized, and fun camp I've seen. My son hasn't stopped talking about it and telling everyone about it. We will definitely be seeing you again. Thank you."
Parent - CA - 2017

Rubio, What a day, I want to thank you & your staff for all the time and effort they have put into helping my son to be a better person & Longsnapper.

Long Snapper - MO - 2017
"Being able to be part of your program with my son, I notice that my son has learned fundamentals that he never properly learned in his 4 years of high school. His first experience at your camp was his senior year (imperative to start much sooner) and the skill that he learned in an 8 hour day is remarkable! Just want to give you a huge shot out and thank you!"
Parent - CA - 2017
"I had a wonderful time in Vegas. You have a talent that reaches far beyond football. Your ability to engage and teach is remarkable."
Parent - WA - 2017
"Rubio, Thanks for putting together a great Vegas event. This was our first time and came away impressed with how well run it was. The staff you had helping, really made it a fun event."
Parent - WA - 2017
"Rubio, I just want to thank you both for the incredible weekend. in Vegas. This was our first Vegas experience, we didn't know what to expect and we were blown away! I can't imagine what you all do behind the scenes to make the camp run so smoothly. We loved the format of the camp and all the coaches there to work with the boys. What an amazing group of talented athletes. Every coach there helped my son with technique or encouragement. I spent the last six years in the All Star Cheer World with our daughter and never attended an event that was run as smoothly as your camp this weekend. (I'm happy to report we are no longer in All Star Cheer!) Many thanks to both of you and everyone who made this camp so successful. We look forward to attending more Vegas events in the future!"
Parent - NC - 2020
"Rubio, Just wanted to reach out and say thank you for such a great camp. It was a great time. My mom was very impressed with the way the camp was run and how well it was put together, being her first time at a camp."
Long Snapper - IL - 2017
"Chris, I wanted to drop you a brief note and let you know how impressed I was by the camp this weekend. You did a great job and I know it meant a lot to my son to get a chance to compete against the top kids. You are an pioneer and clearly have created a business that affords many kids a new avenue to play college ball and beyond."
Parent - GA - 2017

Parent - TX - 2017
"Rubio, Thanks for a great weekend in Vegas. My son had another super experience with you and the staff. So well organized."
Parent - IL - 2017
"Chris, as the dad of a first time attendee I wanted to tell you how much we both enjoyed your camp. Even though conditions at the GA camp forced us into the gym, I was impressed with how organized and friction-less the camp operated all day. You and your staff made the cramped quarters work and I even think the intimacy contributed to greater energy and focus (the comedic relief among you and the guys was also great fun). Never had any idea that storms were rolling through outside and the temperature plunging 30 degrees during the day. I was especially impressed with you taking time to individually review and comment on each snapper during film and found the recruiting session to be especially helpful"
Parent - GA - 2017
Rubio: As my son nears his final decision as to which school he will attend after high school I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. Your snapping instruction is top notch! Your results speak for themselves! Because of your instruction/help my son completed two high school seasons without a single bad long/short snap while playing every down at center! I also want you to know that players can benefit greatly from attending your instructional camps, Vegas, and the various informational sessions you offer. It goes way beyond snapping...my son learned the importance of "the tennis match" that is college recruiting. I have enjoyed watching my son stand with poise and confidence while speaking to a wide range of college coaches. Also, I really focused on not getting in my sons way during this process. I really took it to heart that parents can really be a negative in this process and tried not to duplicate the many stories you shared where college coaches wanted to recruit players but didn't follow through because of annoying parents. I always stepped back and let my son take the lead...thanks to you."
Parent - OH - 2017
"Hi Rubio, Just wanted to say what an awesome camp in GA yesterday! Competition was probably the best we have seen other than Vegas!"
Parent - GA - 2016

Parent - IL - 2016
"Chris, I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for today. My son and husband aren't even home from camp yet, but they both already raved about the experience. My son is a huge fan of yours and learned a ton from the camp. Thank you so much for a great day!"
Parent - TX - 2016
"Thank you very much for the great camp. You have a tremendous staff that was very helpful in every aspect.
I have been Coaching High School Football in Illinois for over 24 years and It is amazing how much I didn't know about long snapping. My son really enjoyed your camp and did not stop talking about the things he learned all the way back to Chicago."
Parent - IL - 2016
"You have been a huge part of this journey as well. Words cannot fully articulate what your relationship with our son has meant. You've helped uncover something that has changed our son's life, and is helping him realize his dream. I just wanted to make sure I said thank you for everything."
Parent - NC - 2016
"RUBIO, Thanks for working your magic. Don't know what you did or said but it worked. Last few games he was on fire and most importantly really relaxed and happy!"

Parent - NC - 2016
"As a coach and parent, I would like to say what a great camp you provide for the young men!"
Parent - SC - 2016
"A Rubio camp is so much more than playing with a ball. It is about life changing experiences, camaraderie, positive motivation and learning to overcome obstacles. The money spent on this camp despite still being out of work, is the best money I have spent in a long time. Thank you"
Parent - SC - 2016
"Thank you for your support of our son (and the rest of these boys). In addition to Long Snapping skills, you have taught them many other life lessons"
Parent - CA - 2016
"Rubio, you are a class act. Watching you the last 4 years has reminded over and over again...you are THE BEST at what you do. Somebody could do a thesis on the journey a snapper and his parents take with you. You have been a huge part of our son's success on and off the field. This family is forever grateful!!!"
Parent - CA - 2016

Parent - CA - 2016
Coach Rubio, I am not sure where to begin with this but here we go. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a great experience that we had this last weekend in CA at your camp. You and your staff are amazing coaches, the way you interact with the kids and the parents is awesome. We have been to other football camps ( not snapping camps) in the past and the parents were treated like an inconvenience. We were first time campers and we felt at ease and totally welcome by not only you and your staff but by the other parents as well. Your coaching skills and organization of the camp are second to none. My son had never long snapped until about three months ago when our youth football team had a kid who could kick. Up until this point he had been a center and line backer for years. He started long snapping and loved it. The only instruction I could give him was what ever we could find on YouTube. As a testament to the ability of you and your staff I could see a huge improvement in just the few hours we spent at the camp on Sunday. Although we have a lot of work to do I noticed an increase in speed, accuracy and form throughout the day. It was amazing to see him progress in such a short period of time. We did some drills last night when we got home and he is at a Yoga class with my wife tonight. Can't wait for another camp and hope to see some big improvements at the next camp. I hope this note expresses my sincere appreciation and gratitude for what you have done for us thus far. Thank you"
Parent - CA - 2016
"We appreciate everything you have done for our son, not just with Snapping but his overall confidence in everything he does."
Parent - LA - 2016
"We really appreciate this extra step you took for our son. We feel so fortunate to be part of the Rubio family!"
Parent - CA - 2016
"We can't thank you enough for all you have done to get him to where he is today. We look forward to seeing where he can go with hard work and your guidance. Looking forward to Vegas."
Parent - LA - 2016
"Thanks so much, I wouldn't be here without you. You've taught me a lot."
Long Snapper - UT - 2016
"It was awesome meeting you, the man that my son has so highly looked up to for the last three years. I see now, why he admires you like he does. Thank You for everything you have taught him, and I am referring not just to long snapping but to life itself."
Parent - OH - 2016
"Mr. Rubio, I would like to personally thank you for coming to the Pittsburgh area. My son has attended other long snapping camps over this past summer and your camp is head and shoulders above the others. The instruction you gave to the young men in the first 4 hours of this camp was so much better and more in-depth than the other camps combined. It appeared to me and my son that the other camps he attended were centered solely on the kickers and punters. The snappers were an afterthought and only there to assist in evaluating them. Even though my son was disappointed in his personal performance yesterday it has not discouraged him from wanting to attend and compete at your camps in the future. Again, Mr. Rubio thank you and please come back to the Pittsburgh / Pennsylvania area soon."
Parent - PA - 2016
"Because of you Chris Rubio, our son is getting a free college education. I hope people pay attention to you and your posts."
Parent - IN - 2016
"Thanks, Chris Rubio, for this and everything you do. Joining #RubioFamily is one of the best decisions we have made."
Parent - MO - 2016
"Rubio, I want to thank you for what you do. You have provided the platform and the motivation for my son to become an elite long snapper. It is ridiculous how much better he is compared to the other snappers on the teams that we face.
Your drills, film study and parent involvement, provides both the parent and the long snapper the understanding of what to do on or own to get better between each time that we see you. I have shared with you before that the "Quote of the Day" helps my son stay focused to get better each and every day. I feel the new format for the Top 12 will elevate all snappers to even a higher level. Thank you you again and you can count on the fact that he will continue to put the work in to get better. It is a complete joy to watch him snap."
Parent - FL - 2016
"I wanted to share with you how appreciative we are having found Rubio Long Snapping. 10 months ago in Chicago, you and your staff inspired a first time camper. You inspired him to train, work even harder in the classroom, to set goals, be prepared for opportunities and to DREAM. Thanks again look forward to seeing you in the future"
Parent - IL - 2016
"I wanted to once again thank you for everything you have done for my son. I have attached his first snap of the season as the starting Varsity Long Snapper. This was a very special moment to see our son succeed with the tools and confidence Rubio Long Snapping has provided him to be able to reach his goal."
Parent - MI - 2016
"Hello Coach Rubio, I would like to say thank you so much for the instruction we received from you and your coaches over the summer. The lessons we learned on how to make adjustments on his approach, snap and finish have attributed to him earning the starting job as LS on Punts, FG & EP at a 6A Texas HS. That would not have been possible if not for and your organization. Thank You for helping my son and we look forward to seeing you in Vegas in January."
Parent - TX - 2016
"We came to your long snapping camp in Dallas back in March. He's been long snapping since middle school, but it was the first training he’s ever gotten. It was amazing! I’ll always be thankful for what he learned from you! I will forever recommend your camps and clinics! You definitely have a first rate operation!"
Parent - OK - 2016
"Just wanted to let you know it was a great camp today. I think it was tough with a lot of new kids, you handle it well. "
Parent - CA - 2016
"Rubio, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the teacher you are to our children. Being a teacher myself, I know what I look for in a good teacher as well as the qualities I'd like to exhibit for my own students (although some days I miss the mark). I love watching you interact with the boys and how you have nicknames for them. I love how you engage the parents in your camps and really involve them in the learning process because, for us personally, we were clueless about the whole process before March of this year. My favorite thing, though, which is something all teachers who really love their kids do, is you called them "My kids" yesterday and explained how you feel when they screw up or do well. You take them as part of your own. They know it and we know it, and we could not have asked for a better teacher for our son to be associated with. I truly appreciate all you've done for my son this year and look forward to our next camp."
Parent - SC - 2016
"Rubio, I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all you have done for my son and our family. During the last week and over 2000 miles we spent in the car, I have thought a lot about how much my son has changed since we started coming to your camps. He has gained confidence and believe it or not actually spoke to college coaches. In full sentences. Without us prompting him to.
As my wife and I stood back and let him and the coaches talk, I was not only proud of my son for how far he's come, I was also proud to be part of the Rubio family. I've always felt we were making the right choice coming to you, and this was reinforced when a major D1 special teams coach with 20 years experience in college and the NFL looks at Ryan's Event Elite shirt and says he thinks you're the best instructor in the country. I don't know how this recruiting process will end, but no matter what, you have changed at least one young man's life forever. And for that, I thank you."
Parent - SC - 2016
"I wanted to personally thank you for all you do for me. You push me to be better than I was and to be the best I can be"

Parent - MA - 2016
"My son loves the instruction from your camps and I love the parent involvement at your camps"
Parent - NC - 2016
"I first wanted to start out by saying the biggest thank you I can. I'm sure you've heard this a bunch of times but, I wouldn't be where I am without you and my family helping me out. You are what I've considered my mentor, both on and off the field. You have given me motivation to do more than I thought I could."
Long Snapper - MA - 2016
"Rubio, s I sit here, after having my first FaceTime since I dropped my son off, I really do not have enough words hat can explain my gratitude. His transformation has begun and I couldn't be any happier or proud. I hope when you are sitting on your recliner that you realize you too are a father for those hundreds of young men you teach each year. Without your words of wisdom and teaching of those things both pigskin and non, these boys couldn't further themselves. I don't just mean snapping. I mean things like courage, determination, pride, self worth, and commitment to name a few. You too have a purpose in my son's journey and his new found freedom, and have played a large part in a short amount of time. So his success in carving his own path is your success whether it be on the field or off. Thanks again for everything"
Parent - LA - 2016
"He learned more yesterday in 3 hours than he has learned in all the time at the other persons camp in three years"
Parent - TX - 2016
"My wife and I are impressed with your coaching. I have observed first hand from camps that he has been invited to at colleges that you can pick out the kids that have attended your training and camps. Every one of them have the same form, stance, technique that you taught yesterday. The other thing that has impressed me is the discipline and respect that your athletes have shown at these camps. Every one of them have been respectful and have offered suggestions to my son. They are sure of themselves but in a way that doesn’t come off arrogant and cocky."
Parent - TX - 2016
"I am thankful for the way you have helped me sharpen my skills and boosted my confidence. Couldn't have done it without you."
Long Snapper - GA - 2016
"Hey Rubio~ I wanted to let you know what an inspiration you are to my son. We were talking about grades and GPA and teachers and I asked my son, "who has had the biggest influence on you at school this year?" and he quickly responded, "Rubio". Which kind of made me laugh, because I was talking about academics, but it made me appreciate his answer even more:)"
Parent - CA - 2016
"Sitting here at OTA's, I can't help but think about how much of an impact you have had on me as a football player and as a young man. You were an incredible help for me and truly learning the fundamentals of Long Snapping. Thank you for being such a positive influence on my life, and my transition from not only high school to college, but now college to the NFL"
NFL Long Snapper - 2016
"Thanks for all the time and effort you have invested in me. I would not be the person I am today if it were not for you. I will always be a Rubio Long Snapper!"
Long Snapper - TX - 2016
"Rubio, Once again as parents we want to extend another thank you for running a first class organization. With only two camps under his belt our son has learned so much and is so focused on building his college future thru long snapping."
Parent - WA - 2016
"We really enjoyed Vegas! The camps just keep getting better."
Parent - TX - 2016
"Good evening Rubio. My son & I are still collecting our thoughts about Vegas XXVIII (and recovering from an overnight flight home). When I got the info packet, I didn't know how you were going to look at 185 kids, wasn't sure I should have spent the money for an hour and a half of attention each day. Like our first camp with you in March, I guess I learned that this wasn't your first rodeo. I'm still in awe. The structure, the instructors, the planning, the flow...all first class. The preparation & the thought...watching your instructors studying lists so they could call kids by name and encourage them. We're in! If this is how its gonna be, the relationships with the instructors, the other parents and the kids, I'll get him to every camp I can. Thanks for delivering."
Parent - SC - 2016
"Rubio, thank you so much for all you do for each of these boys! You make such an impact in their lives!!"

Long Snapper - CA - 2016
"Rubio, Jeff and I wanted to express our appreciation for all the years you’ve helped our son. He has learned a lot from you and has always enjoyed your camps. I have also learned a lot…I can look at the snappers and know if they’ve been to your camps or not! We know that Andrew is at a higher level college for his last years due to what you have taught him. Don’t ever think that what you teach doesn’t influence these boys, not only during their high school and college years, but for the rest of their lives. The guidance you give them about work ethic, social media and grades holds more power coming from someone they look up to, like you, than just a parent. "
Parent - MS - 2016
"RUBIO, I wanted to send you a note to thank you for all that you have done for my son. Within 18 months you have taught him the technique and work ethic to become the Long Snapper that he is and helped him achieve his dream of playing D1 college football. From the first camp he attended in November 2014 in NC, you saw the potential in him and encouraged him to “believe in himself”. As a parent, I especially appreciate the way you relate to these teenage boys. Your style and instruction really resonates with them. Thanks again. #teamrubio, #rubiofamily."
Parent - FL - 2016

Parent - NJ - 2016
"Rubio, I want to sincerely thank you for everything you have done to help me in long snapping.

"Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to all the kids. What your program has helped my son achieve has not only proven to be very useful to him as a student-athlete, but has also provided him with invaluable life skills that he can use for the rest of his life. He has grown leaps and bounds, in every sense of the word, within the last year. I can't wait to see what he does next."

"thank you for I instilling confidence, commitment, and pride in him at Long Snapper. When he told his Special Teams coach that he was "Rubio Trained" his response was "Music To my ears"!
Parent - OK - 2016
"You taught my son values and always were so encouraging and positive with him. He felt like a million bucks every time he left you. When he was having difficult emotional times as he went through the "formidable years" of a teenager you were the one that always told him he was a great person and that he would do great things when others did not."
Parent - CA - 2016
"Thank you for all you have done for all my kids for so many years. You have taught them so much more than snapping - forever grateful"
Parent - CA - 2016
"Thank you so much for all that you do! Without you, none of this would have been possible. Without your camps, Scott wouldn't have known where he stood against the rest of the competition in the country. Love that you provide a program that allows them to focus and train on their craft year round. We met a lot of coaches that said "I only get my guys from Rubio", So thank you again for EVERYTHING!"

"I wanted you to know that the experience my son, and our family, had in Vegas last weekend was profound. The event itself was extraordinary, but what was even more amazing was the fact that Tyler left feeling more inspired and equipped to strive to be the best long snapper he could be. He enjoyed the time of being surrounded by the best snappers in the country, learning from you and your staff, and he is literally counting the days until the March 13th camp in Charlotte."

Parent - CA - 2016

Parent - NM
Rubio, I wanted to thank you for everything that you have done for me and my family. You are by far one of the most genuine, thoughtful, hardworking men I have ever had the pleasure to work with. What I respect most about you is not your ability to teach a kid to snap a ball, but the life lessons you integrated into your coaching. That being said, you are the best in the business at your craft and your success speaks for itself. I appreciate the time you took out of your busy schedule to take my phone calls, emails, and texts to give me advice on what to look for in schools"
Long Snapper - TX - 2016
"You took a skinny unconfident kid and made him into one of the best in the country and that's a debt I'll never be able to repay. Thanks Rubio for everything!"
Long Snapper - IL - 2015
"Your commitment and enthusiasm to all long snappers in helping them to attain their dreams, and to being the very best that they are capable of is greatly appreciated."

Parent - GA - 2015

We will always be grateful for the time our son spent with Rubio Long Snapping and the role you have played in his life. We would highly recommend you and your program to anyone."
Parent - CA - 2015
"Rubio...I just cannot thank you enough for what you've been to my family! On the way home from the Chicago camp, I had time to think and reflect on what I saw on TV on Saturday and then on Sunday. On Saturday, when I saw my oldest son run out get into his stance, snap and then glide down the field for his first collegiate snap of his career. Words that describe how I felt were, excitement, proud and confident. Excited because he was about to step onto one of the biggest stages of his 19 year old life. 106,000 fans, snapping at an away game and the game was nationally televised. I was not nervous for him. I was confident, he has been snapping for years and had 9 months of snapping at practice in front of Coach Harbaugh. But he had a great foundation put down by his snapping coach, you! This is where I want to thank you for contributing in building the foundation of my son. Your knowledge sharing, guidance and the situations that you put these young men in to be able to step up and have confidence is tremendous. As I re-watch the PSU game and see the confidence that my son demonstrated, thank you just doesn't seem to be enough. My wife and I are happy that you came into both of our son's lives 4 years ago. We look forward to continued years ahead! THANK YOU, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"
Parent - MI - 2015

"Hi Rubio, Your long snapping camp is amazing! The Georgia (October 11) camp was my sons 3rd Rubio Long Snapping camp. RyMy son and my husband Bob raved about two previous Rubio camps they had attended ….so I was intrigued and decided to join them for the October 11 Georgia camp. Well, I have to say the instruction and overall experience exceeded my highest expectations. The camp was extremely well-organized, provided high-level instruction to the boys while engaging the parents every step of the way."

Parent - GA - 2015
"Coach Rubio: We wanted to take a minute to Thank You for an amazing camp in Seattle this past weekend! Coach Adams and Coach Lopez were AMAZING and gave us so much time and information that we are going to be able to utilize in working with our son. Being able to be on the field and to actually participate in the camp as parents was an incredible experience. The information and coaching regarding both Football and College recruitment was invaluable. This was our first camp and we can't wait to attend the next one!"
Parent - ID - 2015
"Hi Rubio, I just wanted to say again thank you for all you did to help my son prepare to play college football. It was such an awesome feeling to be able to watch him start in his first college football game as a true freshman against Nebraska in front of 90,000 fans and on National TV and have no bad snaps is a testament to his hard work and dedication but also a testament to you, your coaching and mentoring. Thank you Rubio for helping him achieve his dream of playing college football." Parent

The game had the biggest turn out in our schools history (5,112 people) and your camps and drills gave me the confidence to just trust my ability and snap straight."
Long Snapper - GA - 2015
"Rubio, I know many parents have thanked you for helping their son become a better long snapper. In addition to that, I want to thank you for helping mold my son into a more confident and more determined individual. His confidence was always high when attending one of your camps. He may not have been one of the best, but you always made him feel like he was the number one guy there. He saw many guys, both older and younger that were better than him at your camps and that just fueled his fire. Your camps were one of the best things that I ever gave my son."
Parent - TX - 2015
"Thank you for your time and being such an inspiration for my son. We need great leaders out there for our children"
Parent - NM - 2015
"I can’t thank you enough for all that you did for my son! Certainly you had a huge impact on his ability to long snap a football. I think the bigger impact you have with the young men you work with comes from the wisdom and confidence you instill in them. This allows them to enter their college football playing days knowing what will be expected of them, the experiences to expect and (more importantly) how to deal successfully with those. That is invaluable! Please accept my heartfelt “thank you” for playing a huge part in my son living his dream of playing D1 football at _______!"
Parent - CA - 2015
"Rubio, I got a text from my son on his first day at football camp at ______. It said " Practice went great I only had 1 bad ball all day and they were really happy with my times. I would not have been able to do any of this if you guys didn't give me the chance to go see Rubio."
Parent - PA - 2015

Parent - IN - 2015
"Rubio, I wanted to let you know that you hit a home run again. My son enjoyed the college camp more than any he's ever done. I don't know if its the format or the fact that he was interacting with his piers or maybe something totally different. But he came back extremely excited about the trip. He was already talking about the next one. Hopefully you'll continue to hold them. Thanks for everything you do."
Parent - LA - 2015
"Rubio, I would like to commend yourself, Sailer and your staff with the professionalism and passion working with the kids. We have been spoiled with the engagement with the parents and active participation during the camps. We have been to several college camps this summer, and a few camps, the parents were only allowed on one section of the field and the snappers were on the other side-parents unable to hear any instruction to the snappers. I also appreciate the advice you provide to the kids about the importance of school and personal conduct. Thank you again for all you do and see you soon in Illinois!"
Parent - IL - 2015

Parent - PA - 2015
"Rubio-I sat back and watched my Kid today. You know, the one you've mentored, trained, pushed towards greatness for well over a year now? It's AMAZING to see the transformation, to see him speak up, shake hands with sp teams coordinators, and to overhear kickers' parents saying "yes, he got 'that snapper'- he's good." Bittersweet days as I watch my son become the young man he was destined to be, and I would be remiss not to thank you for the role you've played and continue to play in his life."
Parent - SC - 2015
"we cannot thank you enough for all that you have done. Your influence on our son has been so great and such as positive aspect of his life. It amazes me how you can do what you do. Truly a talent a gift!"

Parent - CA - 2015
"Rubio, A quick note to say thanks for the FBU camp in Chicago. My son attended Friday/Saturday (FBU) and had a fantastic time with the great instruction and organization at the camp. Rubio Long Snapping staff member Corey Adams did a great job working with my son and the others. Thanks again for all of the long snapping help for these young men."
Parent - TN - 2015
"Rubio, I wanted to thank you and everyone associated with Rubio Long Snapping for all you have done for my son. The experience of attending your camps throughout the country, training with you in Idaho and be able to participate in the "Event Elite" has been transformational for our son in so many ways. Thanks again for the difference that Rubio Long Snapping has made in our son's destiny."
Parent - NJ - 2015
"You are an amazing teacher, inspiration, cheerleader and example all rolled up into one man."
Parent - TX - 2015
"Rubio, Little did I know how much more we were getting into than just a camp on long snapping. Over the past year we have gone to 7 camps. But honestly the camps to me are secondary. My son was always a good student and a semi dedicated athlete. Since starting to attend your camps and falling under the influence of both you and the young men that you have sent onto college already his level of focus and self-dedication make me very proud as a parent. I have talked to my son his whole life about the importance of good grades and about the importance of keeping his weight in line. You mention how important grades are and he takes it as gospel. I mean that in the best way. He trains and works out gets home at night at 10pm and goes straight to his room to start his homework and I never need to say a word. He gets straight A’s because he says that Rubio says “it doesn’t matter how fast you can snap if you can’t spell snap”. The self-confidence and friendships that your camps and your instructors have given and instilled in my son in just one year are worth more to me than saying my son got a football scholarship. I just wanted to let you know and to say thanks."
Parent - PA - 2015
"Team RUBIO is second to none and we’re glad to be a part of it."
Parent - FL - 2015
"MR. RUBIO I can't express how much my son enjoyed the FBU long snapping camp in New Jersey. He learned so much how to become better at his craft. I will give you and your staff an A++ rating. My old coach use to tell me if you want to be the best, train with the best. My son has found the best. After attending this camp he has a new found love for the art of long snapping. Thank you so much"
Parent - NJ - 2015

Long Snapper - CA - 2015
"Rubio, Thank you for a fabulous weekend. I've said it 100 times but will say it again. Thank you for being such a positive influence and a motivator for our son."
Parent - CA - 2015
"Hi Rubio, Once again, your camp was amazing and stretched my son to his competitive limits. But he is also a shy player, so the one thing I noticed about your camp that I haven’t noticed before (aside from all the technique instruction) is that your instructors shake the athlete’s hands and make them learn how to grip a firm handshake and look them in the eye. This is very important for athletes to learn and grow and develop social skills in life. Thank you sincerely for all you do to inspire and motivate your long snappers. I firmly believe that they are gaining so much more than just the ability to snap a ball. It makes a difference. Please send a big BRAVO ZULU to your staff for their support and motivation."
Parent - NV - 2015

Parent - VA - 2015
"Just wanted to send you a note about your camp this past Saturday. Both my son and I thought it was tremendous. The content was great and the way it was presented really kept everyone focused and entertained. The steps and techniques he learned will keep him practicing until the next camp.

was excellent. We will try and see you in Las Vegas in a couple of months."

Parent - GA - 2015
"We just wanted to say thank you for all you are doing for our son. It is amazing how he is developing as a long snapper and as an outstanding young man. He has a passion for long snapping and you have instilled in him a great work ethic. This will follow him years beyond football. Also, for the first time our son has confidence in his life. We so love the "confidence" bracelet that you gave out yesterday! For example yesterday when the group of snappers and kickers were together, you were calling on a few guys then a few stepped in to snap. I think my heart stopped beating for a few seconds when I saw my son stand up to snap......Prior to Rubio Long Snapping, my son would have stood in the back and never would have volunteered. Today because of you, my son has the knowledge, ability, and confidence needed. He understands that hard work does pay off. After the snap, my heart swelled with pride....for two reasons- good snap! and that he stood up and had the confidence in himself to do it!! Also, you have created a brotherhood like no other. On our 4 hour trip home, he was texting his friends that he has met from your camps that are located across this country. Amazing!!"
Parent - TN - 2015
"Rubio- Just a quick txt to say thanks for everything you have done for my son. He is on a trajectory that is excellent and without your involvement / coaching it would have been much different. You change kids lives with your work. Much appreciation on this end."

Parent - TX - 2015
"thanks to you and your staff for a TOP QUALITY camp. I was very impressed with how you related to the young men and how they responded to you. I was impressed with the parental involvement as well as how you take each kid seriously. I will highly recommend your camp to others"
Parent - TX - 2015
"Thank you for all you have done for our son in his long snapping but most importantly in his development as a young man and student-athlete. We owe a great deal to you for this experience and what it has meant for Marco, and us. It will be one we will never forget. See you soon!"
Parent - MA - 2015
"Rubio, I wanted to reach out to you and let you know how much the Rubio target has helped my son. Since our first day with it, he has made huge progress and it has really come together over this past week. He actually says “it makes Long Snapping fun”.

Parent - AZ - 2015
"It’s all your fault! Because of you, my oldest son has played in every PAC-12 stadium in the country. Because of you, he has played in AT&T Park, Qualcomm Stadium and CenturyLink Field. Because of you he earned an athletic scholarship, has a beautiful bowl ring and is about to graduate from the finest institution in the great state of Washington! Because of you he has met a girl, applied for his dream job and is ready to make his mark on the world. Because of you, my second son has just committed to being a student-athlete at one of the top-rated university’s in the country. A university that is only able to accept 5% of those who apply. Because of you, he will soon be part of a football program that is getting ready to absolutely dominate Division 1 college football. Because of you, he is working harder and smarter to be ready to follow in the footsteps of legendary Rubio long snappers. I can still remember that fateful day in March of 2009, when I made the phone call and my family became part of the Rubio Long Snapping family. It’s been a ride Rubio, and I can’t wait for the future. Yes, it’s all your fault and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you!"
Parent - CA - 2015
"Rubio, I just wanted to say "Thank You" for a great (albeit wet) camp in California. This was my son's first ever instruction for long snapping, and all of the information and instruction was more than worth the price of the camp. He is is already bugging me to schedule the next camp. Love to see the confidence in him, and am ready, willing, and able to recommend your camps to anyone willing to listen. Thanks again!"
Parent - WY - 2015

Parent - IN - 2015

I believe we have reached our goals and your instruction was a big part of it.
Thank you again for all you have done."

Long Snapper - UT - 2015
"The sense of camaraderie that they all feel for one another has been absolutely amazing. My son has made friends all over the county, all over the state, and truly, all over the country. The way that they all pull for one another and the sense of fraternity that they feel for one another is absolutely awe inspiring. The guidance that you have given over these years has set a foundation for life. I cannot express to you enough how grateful we are for the advice and inspiration that you have shared. I will forever be indebted to you for all that you have done, not only in making this dream come true for Travis, but for surrounding him with such support and friendships that will last him a lifetime. Grateful beyond words"
Parent - GA - 2015
"Chris, I just wanted to personally thank you for your help with my son! Attending his first camp (Chicago) with you the summer before his Junior year in high school “flipped a switch” for him where he was determined to snap at the next level. It has been so much fun to see him improvement over the past 2 years. He has met some awesome people along the way too including fellow long snappers, instructors, and parents. Those friendships will last a very long time too. Additionally, it will be a lot of fun watching guys at the next level – all over the country at all levels. Thanks again Chris – just wanted you to know how thankful we are to have been a part of the Rubio following!"

"Rubio, I want to say thank you so very much and let you know how much we appreciate everything you do and all that you have done to help my son reach and achieve his lifelong goal of earning a scholarship and having the opportunity to play football at a Division One University. As a parent, being able to watch our son sign his National Letter of Intent this past Wednesday was one of the proudest moments of our lives. To see the countless hours of training, hard work, sacrifice and preperation that he has put in thru all of his young life, pay off in earning a scholarship is truly priceless. What is even more incredible is the lessons he has learned about not only being a great long snapper but being a person of great respect and character. The friendships and bonds that have been made over the years with the other members of the "Rubio Family" are friendships that will last forever. As the countless hours of hard work and preparation are continuing, I want to say thanks again and we are looking forward to seeing you soon as this incredible journey continues. Thank You"

"Rubio, I just wanted to personally thank you for being the guru and positive role model for all Rubio long snappers. Rubio camps are more than long snapping, it is about molding a young man to be the best man he can be. Proud to be a member of the Rubio long snapping family."
Parent - AL - 2015

Parent - NJ - 2015
"I feel with all of the information you provide, players should never go to a school blind-sided (no pun intended!). Thank you again for your leadership and dedication to Long Snapping, character development and the path to college success."
Parent - NV - 2015
"Rubio, Thanks for all the great instruction you have provided over the last three years. What started as a dream for my son of just getting on the High School team bus has developed into an opportunity to play at the college level. He is beyond excited, and can't wait for this next chapter to begin."
Parent - GA - 2015
"Rubio, I wanted to express how thankful I am for you and all that you have done for me. When I first came to you in Lewiston for a lesson back in 2012 my snapping was a mess and I was struggling to even make the JV team. I remember you asked me what colleges I was interested in and Cal was one of them and now after three years of hard work and your guidance I get to earn a degree from one of the best universities in the country as well as play for a pac 12 football team. Not only do I get to attend Cal but I had options and without a doubt this would not have happened without you. I hear people all the time saying that certain people and things change their life but I can say with complete confidence and from the bottom of my heart that you and your instruction has changed my life and changed who I am as a person. When I first met you I was very lost and I was worried about what my future held but due to the opportunity that you presented to me I worked my tail off because I wanted to be ranked a 5 star Rubio Long Snapper and have a college next to my name in the rankings. I really can't thank you enough for all that you have done for me because it is hard to put into words. If you ever need someone to talk about how impactful Rubio Long Snapping is, I'm your guy. Again thank you for everything and I look forward to four more years of dominance representing Rubio Long Snapping to the best of my abilities."
Long Snapper - CA - 2015
"Hello Rubio, Just wanted to let you know that I committed to __________ . Also wanted to thank you for making me a better snapper and an even better person, as well as giving me the opportunity to play in college. Without your camps I would know nothing of recruiting and would have ended my high school career as a second string center. Thanks for everything."
Long Snapper - MA - 2015
"I have only been to two of your camps in Georgia and they have helped me tremendously and have landed me a preferred walk on at _________ University which I have taken. Thank you so much for all you do!"
Long Snapper - GA - 2015
"Thank you and all of you coaches for everything. At our first camp my I was completely impressed with the way your camp was ran. And your level of commitment to each kid there. My son would not be where he is today without Rubio long snapping. His offer from ______ yesterday was a huge honor. Thank u again for all you and your staff has done to change the life's of so many young men."
Parent - TX - 2015
"Rubio, I know my son has already reached out and thanked you for all you have done to help him attain his long snapping goal and start on the next phase of his football life. My wife and I wanted to thank you as well not only for being a great mentor/motivator to our son, but you take a skill that most have never heard of, and those that have think is not really a skill, and legitimize it. So many people, fans, players, and even coaches have dismissed the notion of a long snapper actually going to college on scholarship to be just a long snapper. I am sure that over the last 6-7 years our son has really had to check his confidence when he tells people that that is exactly what he was going to do. I know that his exposure to your program left no doubt that long snapping in college on scholarship was attainable, and with us it was never so much about the financial pluses from a scholarship it was about reaching a goal especially against mainstream and peer acceptance. I think that your parental involvement at your camps was very critical in Hunters recruiting process. Teaching parents what to do and more importantly what not to do was a great tool in our visits and was a good checklist that we tried to always do before we met with coaches, and we definitely witnessed what not to do on a couple of those visits from other parents. Any parent who simply sends there kid to camp or drops them off is missing out on a big portion of what you and Sailer do."
Parent - OH - 2015
"Rubio, next Wednesday I will be signing with _________ and I am very excited. I know I couldn't have made it this far without you. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me! You've been a great mentor and an even better friend. Thanks again for everything!"

"I cannot believe how you guys could out-do last years camp but this was hands-down the best! The coordination of hundreds of young men and their families was something that had to be witnessed to be believed! With all that going on; you and your staff still gave athletes individual attention they craved!"
Parent - ID - 2015
"I wanted to thank you for putting on the Vegas camp and the way you run it. I have been in football for over 20 years and been to a countless number of camp and I have to say the professionalism and attention to detail that you and Sailor run your camps is very refreshing.

Parent - CA - 2015
"I want to personally thank you for an experience that he and I will never forget. That camp was oozing with professionalism as you and Sailer kept a tight schedule, moved hundreds of kids through the camp and made it look pain free and effortless. What is even more amazing was to watch you take care and interest in each kid individually. I watched as you moved around the camp and it made me so proud of our decision to choose you and your camp. The instructors were just as impressive and you serve as an incredible mentor to these guys who show how much respect they have for you by how they treat your students at the camp. Congratulations on such an incredible program."

Parent - IL - 2015
"Rubio – I wanted to tell you how impressed I was with the Vegas XXV camp. My son and I had never been to a Vegas camp before, and it was an awesome experience. It was everything we thought it would be and much more. Everything was very well organized. Each session had a lot of great instruction and competition. Having the best long snappers from college and the NFL show their techniques and interact with all the snappers was great. The environment was electric, and one of the best things was that you and all your instructors really worked with every snapper – whether they were beginners or the top of their class – to make them better snappers. In fact, I have never been to a Rubio camp where I did not feel my son came out of it as an improved football player and snapper. I know that you put in a ton of preparation to put on Vegas XXV and it showed."
Parent - NC - 2015

What a spectacular weekend! I also want to thank you for having everything on cue down to the minute. Very impressive. As important, I also want to thank-you for having such outstanding role models around the camp attendees all weekend. Your instructors from the NFL and various schools (current and former players) were beyond impressive. I never heard anything but positive remarks and outstanding effort by these great men.

"Rubio, I've been to a lot of events, and i will try and keep this brief as i am sure you are being annihilated by emails. I have to say that it doesn't go unnoticed of how much time and effort you and Sailer put into your event to make it special for those kids.

Long Snapper - LA - 2014

Long Snapper - GA - 2014
"Rubio--I just wanted to drop you a quick note on how positive our experience was at the TX camp. Professionally run, on-time, fun, and full of helpful advice and drills are words we have heard about your camps. You did not disappoint!However, for me as a dad it was about spending the day with my son and getting to be a part of his goals and dreams. Your camp gave me the knowledge to assist him. I can be there in a small way as he puts in the work necessary to achieve a goal of this magnitude. In just the few days since the camp we have already worked many of the drills you showed us. Thank you for sharing your passion with our family"

"Rubio, I have to tell you my son was so jacked up coming out of your camp. He learned more in one day than others have tried to teach him over the last four months since he started Long Snapping for his H.S. team. Other than your obvious knowledge of the position, I was especially impressed with your style and how you relate to these teenage boys. He is definitely motivated and pumped to be part of Team Rubio!!"

Long Snapper - IL - 2014
"Hey Rubio, I just wanted to tell you I committed to ______________. I need to tell you a story so you understand my appreciation towards you... Before my junior year I was one day away from quitting football. I hated everything about the sport, and the more I was away from football the happier I became. My parents convinced me to play one more year and then quit if I still hated football. I started snapping for my high school team because they needed a backup. That is when I found you and Rubio long snapping in the fall of my junior year. I immediately fell in love. Being a long snapper was the best thing that ever happened to me. I had the personality, body, and natural ability to be a good snapper and I didn't even know it till I met you. I am here today going to play college football because of you and that is a fact. You changed my life in ways I could have only imagined, and I am forever grateful for what you have done for me. I just wanted to let you know that you have played a life changing role to me, and I have no idea what I would be doing right now if I was not a snapper. Thank you for you being you and I hope you keep affecting kids lives like you have done to mine. I cannot thank you enough Rubio for being a role model in my life."

"Hello Rubio,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for your New York snapping camp. It has truly changed my life and how I snap now. You taught me how to be more accurate with my snaps, more aware with social media, and be better with recruiting. Your coaching is truly one of a kind and it is amazing. I wanted to say, with my video you shot of me, I have gotten better recruiting with CIS schools in Canada. It's an honour to be at your camp, and I can't wait to see you at a later date!"
Long Snapper - CAN - 2014
"Rubio,
I have been procrastinating on this email because we wanted to make sure it captured everything my wife and I wanted to say. We will never be able to thank you enough for what you have done for our family. As I prepare to go watch my son in his fifth game as a D1 football player, I have such a huge grin on my face that if anyone were to walk by they would think I was crazy. Our original reason for attending the first camp was to get Alan trained enough to be a high school long snapper and possibly be a college walk on. Through your tutelage and friendship, my son has the rare opportunity to get a quality education and play football at a D1 institution. ...oh yea and for free.
Your camps provide so much more than great long snapping instruction. The fellowship that the kids develop with others and the relationships the parents develop are all fostered through you and the way you and Sailer run your business. As a football coach I cannot tell you how much I like the way your camps are structured. The on the field instruction, classroom video, recruiting seminars and competition at the end is definitely a winning formula and a formula to make the kids successfully if they are willing to listen and put in the work."
Parent - VA - 2014
"I know my son would not be where he was today without your guidance and technique expertise."
Parent - OK - 2014
"Rubio, Just wanted to pass on our thanks for all you did at the New York camp this weekend. It was a terrific camp and both of our boys left the camp with confidence in their skill and training. Your instruction is simply the best. What I appreciate most about the camp is the way you make everyone feel welcome. I felt very comfortable walking around, observing, interacting a bit, and asking you questions when I wanted to clarify something. Your camps impress me as well-organized and professional, yet there's a casual atmosphere that makes everyone feel very comfortable. As a parent, I value that. Our boys are hungry for more Rubio camps, and we're happy to oblige them."
Parent - PA - 2014
"Rubio, I am gonna tell it to you straight as any true New Yorker would. My son attended his first national showcase for longsnapping in December of 2013. I knew very little about the specialty or how to guide my son to the right folks. At that showcase one of the parents told me only to use that company only and quite frankly stay away from you. The 2 reasons: You have a big ego and just want your name out there and you only advance the kids who attend numerous camps. Being new to this world I trusted what I heard. Shame on me! Two national showcases and a camp later, not to mention numerous dollars on travel, profile page and new film, I find myself wondering if I could have invested better.
At the same time I was contemplating, I began following you on all the social media sites. Day after day I saw you posting about signing longsnappers. As my son just began his senior year I began to recognize how precious time and money was and in a "last ditch effort" of sorts I chose to bring him to your camp in NY. In the first 10 minutes, I recognized the immediate connection you had with the players. In the first 30 minutes I was asked to join with my son on the field for drills. This gave me the opportunity to learn some simple techniques so that I can be a partner with in his success. All day long I was included and my son was being engaged by you, learning new techniques that will advance and enhance his skills. There were 30 snappers there and you found time to connect with each one. The guidance on and off the field is on point.
In response to the parent who I listened to: About your ego... We all have one. You are a marketing genius! You get my kids name out there, feel free to add your name to it. Because at the end of the day, the one thing I want is my kids name out there.
When the day was done I walked away with a few thoughts: 1.) Do the research myself 2) You have a personality as big as your smile 3) My son received more value based training for the $350 I spent with you in comparison. I am a firm believer in when the student is ready the teacher appears. I am glad he had the opportunity to find you."
Parent - NY - 2014
"Rubio, I just wanted to say thank you for the great camp, my son and I both learned a great deal from you and had a great time. Thanks again and can't wait to see you at the next camp!"
Parent - NJ - 2014
"Rubio, I just wanted to thank you for what you have done for my son. He is now 1 of 4 sophomores traveling with the varsity team. What you have provided him from a skills standpoint has been amazing, however fails in comparison to what this has done for his confidence. He went from a JV linebacker to the talk of the program with one snap in practice. He snaps every ball as if we were in the backyard. I ask him the other day if he was nervous and he said if he could snap at one of your camps with the best in the country he could snap anywhere. Just know you’re building more than great snappers, you’re helping shape great young men."
Parent - TX - 2014
"Please know that you played a role in him developing, not only into a decent long snapper, but also into a man of character. Thank you tremendously for the program you have in place."

"Rubio, I just wanted to Thank You for everything you have done to help my son. This past weekend we watched his video from last December and compared it to the film from the LSU camp (that I recorded) and are amazed at the improvement! After having endured the back injury he had last season and having to basically learn how to snap again and “find his spiral”, to having an offer from a D1 AA program in 8 months is phenomenal in our Opinion. None of this would have been possible without the teaching and confidence building you and the other Rubio instructors and Snappers have done. We as a family cannot Thank you enough! Bratstvo Dugih Snappers (Fraternity of Long Snappers) you have created is simply amazing. All of your Guys are always willing to help any fellow LongSnapper improve, regardless of competition. You have done well Sir, and on behalf of My Son and Our Family. THANK YOU! It so nice to see him walk and Snap with Confidence again."
Parent - LA - 2014
"Coach Rubio, I wanted to express my appreciation for the camp experience this weekend. My son and I thought the instruction was awesome, and we will be looking to attend another camp in the fall or winter session. We wish that we had heard about your camp when my son was in middle school."
Parent - GA - 2014
"You are not only giving my son the tools to be a great long snapper, you are giving him the tools to be great in life. It is worth every dime, every mile, every drive thru meal, every so hot my shoes melt to the turf day, EVERY sacrifice made to see my son become not just a good football player, but a great athlete and young man. How many times will I say thanks? As many times and every time I have the chance. You are helping mold my son's future, and we don't take that lightly at our house. Thank you."
Parent - SC - 2014
"From the drills to how you conduct yourself in the recruiting process, the camp was excellent. Even if he doesn't take another snap in high school or college - this experience was worth every penny. Thank you!"

Parent - WA - 2014
"When my son arrived home, his mother asked him how it was and his response was “he loved it, learned more in one day than he has in 3 yrs in HS, and wants to attend the December camp and the Vegas camp.” He followed up by telling her how much he enjoyed your coaching and that you seemed like a coach that he could talk to at any time."

"To Any Potential Long Snapping Parent:vI highly recommend Chris Rubio as your Long Snapping coach. Rubio possesses a wonderful sense of humor which keeps the kids loose but focused and makes the camps a great learning & teaching experience for the kids. Rubio's input, suggestions and structure were quite valuable for what my son wanted to accomplish with his Long Snapping. It’s important to have the kids execute a game plan, set goals and help them find the time to follow through with them. Rubio is passionate about what he does. Rubio will teach and interact with the kids in a way a lot of other coach's fail at do."

"Rubio, I wanted to say thank you for all of your long snapping coaching over the last few years. I have learned so much from you and your staff. I now consider myself a Rubio Long Snapper and not just a player who snaps a football. You taught me so many different drills and techniques that I can now use when I practice. Your sense of humor and your coaching style always kept me motivated to learn more and get more consistent. I will keep going to your camps as long as I keep long snapping, I can always improve my technique or learn some new drill to make myself better."
Long Snapper - CA - 2014
"Hey Rubio, I wanted to drop you a quick email and share something with you. My son had the opportunity to attend one of the “other” national long snapping camps on Monday. The only reason we elected to do it was because it was an hour from our house and it was a day my son had free. In a nutshell very disappointing, minimal interaction and info for parents, minimal stretching and prep, my son had easily 300+ snaps with minimal instruction, correction, and one instructor for all long snappers. After the camp my son got a text from the instructor inviting him to their “National Invite Camp” and he politely declined, partly because he has a college camp the same day. Normally I would encourage him to look big picture but my gut was telling me a lot of smoke and mirrors. What was advertised and what we received at the one day camp were two completely different things. At the end of the day my son’s comment was “Dad I am glad I’m a Rubio guy that camp was miserable.” I guess the reason for my email is not to rip on the other guys but to send a big THANK YOU, for the continued great job you do instructing our young men."
Parent - OH - 2014
"We had an outstanding time at the camp in Cali. Very informative and well worth the trip."
Parent - TX - 2014
"thank you for the life changing opportunity (full scholarship) you have helped my son achieve. During the last two years I have observed the instruction, the guidance and the interaction you have with each camper ( Also the Swiss precision the camps are run). Your exceptional ability in each area is unmatched and elevates Rubio Snapping above all others. My son has and will have many coaches in life, but there will only be one Rubio. For this, I am thankful every day."
Parent - NC - 2014
"Rubio, I wanted to thank you for the way you run your camps and treat your players. So many camps are focused solely on the BEST player and how they perform on the field. You and Chris Sailer focus not only on how they can be the best player on the field but how they can be the BEST person and contribute to society. I have seen my son grow as a player but most importantly as a person. His dedication to his goals of being the best long snapper he can possibly be is nothing short of extraordinary. Most importantly, he has become more focused on being a student of the game and maintaining his 4.0 GPA going into high school next year. This determination has since rolled over to my youngest son (maybe another Rubio’er) who hears my son and I speak about social media, life and sports. Thanks so much for wanting to bring quality to your athletes."
Parent - NC - 2014
"your influence on our son has been incredible and my wife and I cant thank you enough. No matter what happens with our son's future with snapping, this program will always hold a special place in all of our hearts. I always tell people when trying to explain to them about Rubio Long Snapping (which as you know, is hard on occasion) that even if our son doesn't snap another ball after High School, this program has done more for him than anything in his life to date. He has met friends for life, he is part of a special group of people and this program has helped him develop a load of confidence. It makes him feel good about himself and that has helped him thrive in the other aspects of his life, in the classroom and beyond. It will serve him well as he grows towards adulthood."
Parent - CA - 2014
"Thanks for a great camp!! The instruction for the athletes and the parents was wonderful. All of the guest speakers were fantastic!! What a wealth of knowledge we both took away from this camp."
Parent - TX - 2014
"Rubio, I wanted to thank you for including my son at the Elite Event. The event was transformational for him. He truly came home a different kid. I don't know if there is magic in the yellow shirt but when he puts it on there is definitely a difference. He has more confidence and as a result is snapping better than ever. He has been to several college camps and has been picked as the top snapper. When other snappers who do not have yellow shirts see a snapper in the yellow shirt they all seem to unravel just a bit because they know what the yellow shirt means. Kind of funny to watch. Even the coaches know what the shirt means. It's crazy! I have special washing, drying and hanging instructions for the yellow shirt. So I thought I would share with you the power of the yellow shirt and how thankful we are that you included our son in the event. Also wanted to add that we wished we got on board earlier and that the trip to Idaho was one of the best things our son and his father did. Keep doing what you do!"
Parent - NJ - 2014
"I cannot thank you enough for such an impact that you have had on my son over these last few years! He has learned more than just long snapping from you, he's learned how to communicate to college level coaches, how to build friendships outside of his city, and how to have a goal and work your ass of and achieve it. Again, I've said this before and I will continue to SCREAM it from the hilltops...THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!"
Parent - MI - 2014
"If I hadn't come across long snapping and Rubio, I have no idea where I would be in life or what I would be doing. Such a blessing."

"I can't properly express how grateful our family is to my son's long snapping teacher/mentor/psychiatrist Chris Rubio. He is and has been a great influence on thousands of young men across the country at such an impressionable age. Our family is better off for having known him. Thanks Rubio."
Parent - AL - 2014
"You have a gift, my friend. As a human services person and former forensic interviewer, it's second nature to me to read body language. There was a marked difference when you walked in. Those young men (including my own) responded very well."
Parent - SC - 2014
"Hey Rubio, I want to thank you for all the instruction you and your staff have given me these past couple of years. I loved your camps and went from barely knowing snapping into becoming a four and a half star snapper. I have decided to attend _____________ University as a preferred walk on and have received a $100,000 academic scholarship. Again, thank you for all your help."

Parent - FL - 2014
"Hi Rubio, I wanted to send a quick note to personally thank-you for the skills you have taught my son every time they (he and his father) come back from one of your camps they are completely pumped up. The skills you are teaching at your camps have helped my son's long snapping improve exponentially. You have taught My son now knows how to be confident and stay strong under pressure. I feel the fact that you work with the parents so they can practice at home with the guys using the proper technique is absolutely amazing!"

"Rubio, I just wanted to say thank you for an amazing experience this weekend, but more importantly say thank you for everything you have done for me the past 3 years. I would not be the person I am, or be in the position I am in today without you and long snapping, there's no telling what my future would look like without it."
Long Snapper - KY - 2014
"What you have helped our son accomplish is amazing, and the money you saved us is CRAZY! (we are the parents who saved money for college so it’s like WE won the lottery!) Every event we attended, I felt like it was an investment. If he did not get a scholarship, I was not worried. I knew the environment and enjoyment of the process was worth every penny. You are a fun guy to be around, and your humor is spot on and appropriate. Your feedback was always sandwiched nicely so our son felt good, but had a valuable takeaway. I watched my son take the love of the game, and turn it into a mission. I am excited we have more football in our future, it’s truly a family event for us. NOTHING but love for you, Chris Rubio! "
Parent - CA - 2014
"A friend had talked your camp up so much that my expectations were pretty high, but they were all surpassed by the experience today. Your knowledge, execution and demeanor made for a fantastic experience for IV -- I can honestly say this was the most beneficial camp he has been to."
Parent - LA - 2014
“A year ago I would have never dreamed of this (getting a full scholarship). A friend talked us into going to Chicago in July and it’s was the best decision my parents and I ever made. Thank you”

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

"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."

Proud Parent, 2014
"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

Parent - IA - 2014

Parent - 2013 - TX
"Hey Rubio, I just wanted to tell you thank you for all the help you have given me from the Chicago camps, and Vegas. Vegas was an amazing experience, and really helped build my skill and mentality/attitude. I have something to gain from each camp I attend, and just get better and better. I couldn't be the long snapper I am or most importantly the one I''m going to continue to become without you. Thank you again Rubio, and I couldn't appreciate the opportunity you are giving me any more. Look forward to seeing you again in March"

You have made a real difference in his life. Thank you!"
Parent - CAN - 2013
"If my son never snaps a football past high school, this program is priceless because of the life lessons that Rubio teaches and the character that he insists that his students have. He isn't teaching them just to throw a ball upside down through their legs, he is teaching my son and all his kids how to be be solid human beings on the field, off the field and in the classroom"
Parent - CA - 2013
"I can''t thank you enough for all you have done for me and how many doors you opened for my future. Thank you so much for everything."
Long Snapper - MO - 2013
"By the way, the Vegas event was beyond spectacular. I have attended, organized and participated in athletic camps/clinics for 13 years (both as a coach and as a parent) and I can say your camps are by far the most well organized and structured I have ever seen. From the instruction to the competition, to the personal access to you and the world class exposure for the athlete. you absolutely have the best business in the industry. You should get the Emmy for sports camps. The Camp for best all-around experience! Thank you for all you do for the kids and for the parents. #TeamRubio"
Parent - TX - 2013
"From the beginning from my freshman year and getting dominated by top ranked long snappers, (now D1 full scholarship long snappers), to competing in the finals rounds against, not if, the best Rubio long snapper EVER, it truly has been an interesting ride. I just want to say that these past four years have truly been amazing. What I have learned from you is unique, and you cannot find it anywhere else. I look forward to seeing you in Charlotte, NC, and continuing our communication throughout my college experience. Thank you so much again"

Parent - CA - 2013
"I want to let you know how much you have changed our lives for the better. My son has found himself as a person through long snapping. He is a far cry from the shy boy of just a year ago. 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. Since coming to your camps and taking lessons, I have come to see the value of letting my son become a young man that makes his own choices and decisions. It was your ideas and comments in the film sessions that taught me this..."
Parent - CA - 2013
"Been a while and have done yourself proud. Time is a funny thing, however your message to the kids is timeless. Funny how what is truly important changes from year to year. 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
"We will never be able to thank you enough."
Parent - NC - 2013
"First, thanks for another great camp at Cedar Hill HS yesterday! It was a day of fantastic teaching and competition. Again, thanks for all you do with the kids. What''s really cool is that it''s so much more than long snapping. My son frequently talks about your quote of the day for example. As parents we know that sports will be relatively short-lived, but the life lessons are enduring."
Parents - TX - 2013
"Camp was terrific! I was very impressed with the day and your interaction with parents and young people. Thank you for including the parents as you do. That was really cool. Thank you for mentioning Facebook and technology, etc.. and how things like that affect these young people's future. I tell him all the time, as I am sure most parents there do but it is different coming from you as you can imagine. Our experience was so great and even better than anyone told us it would be. My son really felt like he learned a lot. Thanks so much for what you do this weekend was just great."
Parent - MS - 2013

Parent - IN - 2013

He joins a long list of kids that will always credit you with their success, not only as snappers but as young men"
Parent - OK - 2013
"Your blogs are great stuff. You have no idea how much your quote of the day and blog help my son. He has to work very hard to get decent grades and for him it''s a grind and he is under a lot of pressure. Your messages help very much."
Parent - CA - 2013
"You were the one who helped me achieve a life-long goal of mine of playing college football.

Long Snapper - IL - 2013
"Rubio, Thank you for another great camp. A parents perspective: Now that I've been to several of these camps, it kind of like going to a concert to see your favorite band. You know most of the songs which you always enjoy hearing, but there is always a new song or an oldie that you don''t hear often that is mixed in."
Parent - IL - 2013
"Rubio, Thank you for another great camp in Illinois. I know my son (and I) really appreciated learning some new drills that could be practiced at home"

Parent - FL - 2013
"Just wanted to send you a big Thank You for the deep snap training you have provided my son in the last 16 months. We came to you late in his H.S. career and I am glad he did. We came to you after his Junior football season. It absolutely gave him a great framework in which to work. Giving him the basics allowed him to fall back on your technique when he would need it."
Parent - TX - 2013

Long Snapper - PA - 2013
"Rubio - thanks for a great camp today in Georgia. My son learned a ton and is even more excited to continue his long snapping dreams. He was a bit intimidated with all the kids being much older. Once he got going he fell right into place. Thanks for making it comfortable for him. See you at another camp."

Parent - GA - 2013
"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 instruction. 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
"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."
Parent - 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."

"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
"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
"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
"Rubio, My son attended the NC camp on Saturday. I have attended several football 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
"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
"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
"Thank you very much for everything. You and Sailer do an amazing job putting all this together!!"
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
"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
"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
"Rubio, thanks for another great weekend! As usual, I learned a lot, and walked away better than when I got there. Your camps leave no doubt that Rubio Long Snapping is the best in the nation, and I am proud to be apart of it."
Long Snapper - MS - 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
"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
"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
"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. At one time during the recruiting period I had as many as 25 DI thru D3 schools wanting me because of my snapping skills which I attribute to 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
"My son really enjoyed the camp yesterday. You made quite an impression on him and he picked up several snapping drills to work on. Though I was apprehensive to send a 14 yr old eighth grader to the camp, I''m very glad I did. We hope to see you in the future."
Parent - LA - 2013
"You have made a huge impact in my life and I appreciate what you do for me!"
Long Snapper - WA - 2013
"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 just wanted to say thank you very much for all of your help and wish I went to more of your camps during high school. My two little brothers will be future Rubio camp members."
Long Snapper - NV - 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 - 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
"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
"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
"So I''m going to all these college camps, and it makes me realize just how much I miss you. You are going to be getting a big hug from me in California!"
Long Snapper - KY - 2013
"I learned a lot and it was very apparent why you are the best!"
Parent - MN - 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 for what you do. You and Sailer are truly at the top of the kicking and snapping world."
Parent - CA - 2013
"What my son learned at your camp has propelled him to be one of the best Long Snappers in the Northeast."
Parent - CT - 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 Long snapper. 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
"I cannot thank you and Chris Sailer enough for all you do, and the life lessons these student/athletes will learn and use as the grow into adulthood. You and Chris have made a positive contribution to these kids, that we as parents get to enjoy back two fold."
Parent - CA - 2013
"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
"Even as just the Camera Guy, not a player, i found your training very informative and I liked the way you worked with the kids and brought the parents into the mix."

Parent - NC - 2013
"We really enjoyed the camp in Charlotte, NC and certainly learned a lot!!"
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. I am embarrassed to admit I was questioning the cost versus value, but no more! I truly appreciate the enormous amount of information you provided yesterday and look forward to the next camp."
Parent - MD - 2013
"Hey Rubio, I just wanted to thank you for all the help that you have given me through your camps. I don''t think I would be in the spot I am without all your help. I can''t say enough good things about your camp and I encourage every young long snapper to go to them. Once again thanks for all you have done"
Long Snapper - NC - 2013
"Wonderful camp in Ga my 13 yr old loved it. We will be attending your camps over the yrs Thank you so much"
Parent - GA - 2013
"Rubio, I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for my son. He would have never had this opportunity (going to college) without your help."
Parent - MS - 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 thank you for a very well, run camp this past Saturday outside of Chicago. 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
"Big thanks to Chris Rubio for a great camp in Chicago. How he involves the parents so they can then help their snapper is second to none!"

Parent - OR - 2013
"This whole experience is so much more than just snapping a ball and I want to say thank you for being such a dynamic person in the lives of these young men. Keep up the good work Rubio. :)"
Parent - WI - 2013
"To say that my wife and I are thankful or grateful would be a massive understatement. We cannot thank you enough for what you have done for our son on the football field, but more importantly OFF the football field. He has taken your life lessons, 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

Parent - TX - 2013
"Thank you for the confidence you instilled in my son the last 4 years , even though he has not continued long snapping the encouragement and confidence you helped instill in him allowed him to Pursue his other dream to become a commercial pilot"

D1 Long Snapper - OK - 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! You may not know each kids personal story but I guarantee you are helping these kids in more ways than you may even know! My message to you is THANK YOU for helping my son maybe when you didn't even know you were!!"
Parent - CA - 2013
"You have helped me improve so much from where I was, even after I left doing all the drills you taught me. Your camp is definitely the best I have been to. I felt like it was very personal, and a great learning experience. What you have taught me I have been able to incorporate into my game situations."
Long Snapper - IL - 2013
"I wanted to write to let you know that my son had an excellent experience at your camp this past weekend."
Parent - AZ - 2013
"Rubio, Thanks for a great day yesterday – speaking on behalf of the many parents that I chatted with, we enjoy the camps as much if not more than the kids"
Parent - CA - 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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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, I just wanted to thank you for everything that you've helped me accomplish as far as long snapping goes. I couldn't have made it to where I am without your teaching and your guidance, not only with snapping but with real life situations. I have just been offered by __________ and I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you for everything that you've done for me!"
Long Snapper - AR - 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
"I also wanted to use this letter to completely thank you for everything you have done for me. It is to the point where I don't have the right words to express how much you have changed my life forever. I have always dreamed of the opportunities that I now have achieved. 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
"I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for my son. Your camps have truly revolutionized how special teams is perceived. My son has improved so much and is working towards a real goal. This would not be happening if it were not for you. Our family is grateful."

"It is on rare occasion that you meet someone in your life that makes such an incredible impression on your family. You, Rubio have exceeded in doing that. Keep up the incredible work that you do leading, teaching, mentoring and bringing such joy and laughter to so many young men and their families. Regardless of my son''s future as a long snapper, you have changed his life and we are so grateful to you for that!"
Parent - GA - 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 long snapper. 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. It is as if you have created a group of "Long snapping Disciples," and it is amazing to watch. In fact, he now considers himself one of those "Disciples." We look forward to working with you in the future"
Parent - CA - 2012
"Thanks for a great weekend! This was my son''s first Rubio camp, but certainly not his last. I would also like to offer my highest compliments to the staff of instructors. Wow! 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

Parent - WI - 2012

Parent - NV - 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
"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
"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
"Thank you the outstanding experience that you facilitated for the athletes in Las Vegas. It was an amazing thing to behold. You left my son with both a very positive taste in his mouth & a very clear picture of what he needs to be doing. Thank you again for all you have done."
Parent - CAN - 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
"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
"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
"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!"

''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
"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 - TX - 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
"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."

He truly loves to long snap and it has been amazing to watch him get better. Looking forward to seeing you again in the summer!"
Parent - GA - 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, thanks again for a great camp yesterday. My son had a great time and we both learned a lot as with the last camp"
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 long snapper 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" long snapper 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, 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
"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.

The professionalism, amount of information, time you took with each kid, will definitely bring us back to future Rubio Camps."

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 - 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, well-run 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
"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.

Want to thank you for everything, you''re the greatest."

"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
"Rubio, I am writing to thank you for all you have done for us. As my son has told you he has accepted a full-ride 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
"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
"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
"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.

Long Snapper - CA - 2012

Parent - CA - 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

Parent - TX - 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
"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."

"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
"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
"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
"We would like to thank you for yours and Sailers wonderful and informative camp at California. You guys did a super job -- as usual. We would like to thank you for your time with these kids -- the two of you do an excellent job. Some of these kids may never have the privilege to play at the college level -- however, with these camps and programs you have it will give them that upper hand. 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"

Long Snapper - CA - 2012
"Last night I heard my son talking to his grandfather about you...He said: "Rubio gets such great results because he treats us all as equals.

He is our mentor, instructor and biggest supporter".

Parent - TN - 2012
"Wanted to thank you for being a part of my son my son''s development. And, probably in a way that doesn't pop into your head immediately because he hasn't been to a camp since 5/11. That is for a specific reason ... at that camp you challenged him to make a commitment ... a commitment to being the best at what he wanted in life. Of course, in your broad message, there was an emphasis on being a long snapper. From that day, he decided to commit his full energies to being the best in the class room and on the OL. He has worked very hard ever since. Thank you"
Parent - CA - 2012
"Chris...We are so thankful we were told about your organization last November. Ten months ago my son was a skinny 9th grader who had never long snapped in his life. Fast forward to today and he has beat out two upper clansmen to earn the Varsity starting job as a sophomore. I am not sure what he is studying more, his school work or long snapping videos, but the good news is he is doing outstanding at both. Thanks for all you do and for making a difference."

Long Snapper - KY - 2012
"Rubio. As my son ran out onto the field tonight for his first College Football game, I can''t help but think it is all because of you. Rewind back to October 2008 when my husband did an online search looking for some type of instruction for my son to learn the basics of Long Snapping. Whose name popped up first? 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.. So many wonderful bonds have been forged with our snappers and so many wonderful friendships have been made. Thank you Chris Rubio!!"
Parent - SC - 2012
"An incredible man, instructor, Long Snapper, mentor, friend, funny guy, father, etc., etc.!! So grateful for Rubio Long Snapping and all that he has brought not only to our son, but also to our entire family! I love that when I''m feeling confused or uncertain about anything Long Snapping related, I say "we need to talk to Rubio". Thank God for him we don''t call all those times but when we do, it''s such a sigh of relief that yes, we have learned from all the blogs, we are seeing things correctly and we just need to continue on with all that we've learned! 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? That we didn't realize our son had a talent for long snapping before the spring of his senior year and that he would have had many years experience with you versus just one. Still grateful! Rubio, you''re simply the best!"
Parent - GA - 2012
"I continue to be so amazed by you, Chris, and all you accomplish.You have instilled in so many young athletes the most important aspects of playing college football. As a mother of one of those fortunate young men, I will forever be grateful to you. God Bless."
Parent - CA - 2012
"My wife and I can''t put into words what you have meant to our son over the last year or so since he became part of the Rubio family of snappers. The character and leadership skills that you promote and teach have really been a huge part of his development and his personal desire to strive for success in school,sports and life in general. Thank you so much for all the direction, coaching and advise you have provided him over the years"
Parent - CA - 2012
"I want to let you know how much you've helped me, as a coach, understand and appreciate that aspect of the game. You''re doing great work"

"I know that my husband already sent you our thanks but I also wanted to say thank you personally. Not only for this past weekend camp but for all that you do for my son and all the other kids. You truly are an example of someone who cares about the kids and wants what''s best for them. I know that my son has come away not only with the knowledge and ability to snap but also how to carry himself as a person and to have confidence. As parents we try to bring our kids up to understand what is right and wrong and teach them to be good human beings. Having someone like you in their corner to help reinforce these ideas / teachings truly is a blessing. Thanks again for all that you do."
Parent - CA - 2012
"Dear Rubio, I just wanted to tell you a quick thank you for all of the inspiration and guidance you provide your players. My son attended your camp in July for the first time. I was fully prepared to expect this to be a one time event and hoped that we wouldn't be disappointed. I can't 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. I now see that we will have our son attend camps when he can and as a family e look forward to your regular outreach, tweets. You are quite unique and neither of my boys have had such inspiration in their many seasons of sports. Thanks for being such a wonderful role model!
Parent - CA - 2012
"Just wanted to say again how impressed I was with the camp this last weekend. You have taken long snapping and dissected it into components for the kids (and the parents) to understand. You are masterful at bringing in the parents and making them a part of the camp.Thanks for working with my son. I know we will be back for more.
Parent - CA - 2012
"Thank you for another positive camp experience. Once again you exceeded our expectations with how professional, structured and informative the Chicago Camp was. Over the past months that my son has been involved with your program, I have seen growth in his form and commitment to the position--I can see him striving to better himself. My son walked away not only with valuable information, but what to do with the information--And for that I thank you."

Parent - CA - 2012
"Hey Rubio, I wanted to say thank you for everything. Because of you, I was able to play college football and get an education on top of that. I got to live a childhood dream and sign a professional contract and was able to fall back on my degree to get a great job. Just wanted to express my appreciation"

"Thank you so much for hosting and helping my son yesterday morning. He had a wonderful time and has a renewed energy and attitude about his snapping.

I have never seen my son as pumped up and jazzed about long snapping as he was after the camp yesterday.My son has been working hard on his technique, stretching and snapping drills and I believe it has paid off but the encouragement he received from you yesterday really did a lot to boost his self-confidence and keep him motivated. It meant a lot to him and to me."

I know your guidance to these boys helps us parents out a lot, and I want to thank you again for that.

"I brought my grandson to Lewiston for a private long snapping lesson this past summer. I want you to know that it was probably the best value I have ever seen based on the results that followed. This young man took on a level of pride and confidence that is hard to describe. I fully believe that you were the most influential individual in his development and for that I thank you. In addition he has taken on an entirely different attitude about his education and the value of working just as hard in the classroom.....a blessing beyond description. He is looking forward to more interaction with you in the future."

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 definitely 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

Parent - NC - 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
"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

"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 positive environment 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
"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 - TX - 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
"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.

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 another great camp, didn't expect anything less than perfect from you and your staff, on time, great instructions/instructors awesome fields, awesome weather, of course you had nothing to do with the weather LOL - what a great bunch of kids you had, my son has created some lifelong friends. Who knows he may play against some of these guys in the future you never know.
You have done so much for my son I can't thank you enough"

"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 5'3", 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."

"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 amateurs when 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. You are in the top 1% of coaches I have ever met, played for, represented professionally, or have known during my lifetime "
Parent - CA - 2011
"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
"I enjoyed reading your blog. I was a long snapper in high school. I am glad you are doing what you are doing to inspire these kids. If I had a role model like you when I was a kid I may have prepared for college and tried to hook on as a snapper somewhere. Keep up the good work."

"Hey Mr. Rubio, 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 successful 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!!!)

"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 etc. 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

"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!"

My son is REALLY looking forward to May in Vegas and wants to work hard between now and then so you can see an improvement. Thanks!"

Long Snapper - GA - 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. Before the camp he had not snapped for 3 weeks. We were both inspired and encouraged that we can do this together. Thank you. "
Parent - MI - 2011
"I wanted to thank you for everything that you have done and continue to do for my son and everyone else who wants to succeed at long snapping.

Parent - LA - 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."

"I wanted to send you a thank you for your camp. My son went to one in Illinois, in the fall of 2009 and then went to Vegas in January of 2010 and placed 3rd there. From that Vegas trip we learned about the NCSA Sports and enrolled my son and he had many opportunities open up to him. He has been invited to play for the University of __________ as their Long Snapper and will most likely be starting his freshman year as their full time long snapper. He also had other colleges offer him this opportunity. I again want to thank you for your camp and all the opportunities that it opened for my son."

Parent - Canada - 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"

"Hey Rubio, Just a quick note to Thank you for an outstanding camp. The instruction you provide is second to none. Even though we have been to many camps, my son continues to learn something new each time. He is so fired up after this camp because for the first time in over a year, he left there without a limp and his knee cap is still visible.. haha. Thank you for being sensitive to his individual need. My son will continue to work on the drills you advised him on and he will be ready for Vegas!! Thank you again for providing the "best long snapping instruction" there is."

I promise that you will never hear that I didn't give my best effort. I will make you proud!"

Parent - GA - 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
"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 will be attending ______ as a preferred walk on simply because he attended your Vegas competition and you recommended him.
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
""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 long snapper.....
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."

Long Snapper - IL - 2011
"Having a camp sold out is a true statement to how far your program has come since my older son came through your program. 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. You've done a great job not just teaching the fundamentals of snapping but promoting snapping as the specialty position it should be"

" I think we told you this already, but just in case we didn't, a non-Rubio snapper parents told us, "We hate to see Rubio Snappers at a camp when we go because we have never seen a bad Rubio Snapper. They are all so good." Thought you would enjoy this!"

Parent - TX - 2011
"Rubio, just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for my son. 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! It has been a great summer because we found Rubio!"

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.

"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 - TX - 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 1½ 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
"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"

He continues to work hard to perfect his form, build his body and mind, has a great attitude and love for the game, loves you and the proven techniques you've developed and applied in that "RUBIO SWAG" like no other in such a positive way it boarders "true religion" that we both adore and respect in a twisted way"
Parent - CA - 2011
"I wanted to give you some feedback on what I thought of the camp Sunday. I have been to many "camps" over the years, both for myself and for my son''s. 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. With his hard work and you guidance he might just make that Top 12 group one day. Again, thanks for all you do and we''ll see you in Vegas"

Parent - AZ - 2011

"Yesterday was the BEST day ever. It was a gorgeous fall day, the leaves were turning colors and we were on campus at ________. It was a big day for the recruits. They were all there from all over the country. As we paraded behind the team through the campus, then walked through THE TUNNEL onto the field to watch practice, I stood on the field & thought to myself, none of this would be possible without you, Rubio. THANK YOU!! My son''s life will forever be changed by what he is about to experience at ______. Through you teaching him Long Snapping, he is about to take the journey of a lifetime!! We can''t thank you enough!"

Know there is still more to come , but wanted to make sure you know how much I appreciate everything you have done."
Long Snapper - SC - 2011
"Thanks for being such an AWESOME teacher! I heard you mention during one of the film sessions yesterday that you used to be a teacher and that just confirmed my suspicions. One of my very first thoughts when I was listening to you speak at the LSU camp was “This guy REALLY knows how to break it down - not just for the player, but for the parent also. I LOVE that you teach the parents how to help our Long Snappers get better at home! Seriously, from one educator to another, you have a gift! and I'm so glad my Long Snapper is learning from the BEST."

I really appreciated the extra time and effort you spent in explaining the key drills and techniques to the parents. I''m attaching a picture I think you might like of how he''s been able to really improve his follow through. Thank you for your awesome instruction, your motivational blogs, and your dedication to long snapping. We are really glad that we met you and are looking forward to the upcoming camp in Las Vegas"

Parent - SC - 2011
"Rubio - I'm sure you get a ton of these e-mails, but thought I'd let you know that my son, just began long snapping this past year. Long snapping was always something his brother did until this year. After attending your camp Saturday in NC, that has now changed, as he is excited, motivated, and looking forward to working at it to be the best he can be. Thanks, for your instruction, motivation, and work with my son and all the other kids."

"Great to meet you and your staff - I can't tell you how impressed we were with how the camp was ran. My son learned so much and was completely blown away with how much you were able to help his snapping. We talked about it the entire rest of the weekend. I also enjoyed talking with the other parents. This was our first camp of this kind and my son had never received any formal training when it came to long snapping. We look forward to following you through the various social media outlets. Just wanted to thank you again for an awesome experience that I know could pay off for my son in his future."
Parent - NC - 2011
"Rubio, Thank you for an outstanding camp in NC. My son thoroughly enjoyed all the instruction he received along with getting to meet and talk with the other long snappers along with the competition. He also enjoyed the personal conversation and instruction he received from you. He is working on his form daily. I can honestly say that my son learned more on his form and the details of long snapping in one day that he had learned in the four years since he started long snapping. Thanks again for all you do and for the opportunity in Vegas and they don't call you the long snapping guru for nothing!!!"
Parent - NC - 2011

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!"

Thanks for all the updates.I am impressed how up to the minute everything was.Great stuff.

Parent - AZ - 2010

It is great to see the camaraderie that has developed among the snappers in his class and with your student instructors."
Parent - CA - 2010
"What I really enjoy at your camps, and most noticeably at this one, is the camaraderie 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 environment in which to learn."

Parent - MS - 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.

Parent - MS - 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
"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 and that is something that will be part of who he is forever. Just know I appreciate you a whole bunch!!!!!"
Parent - TX - 2010

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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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 good or not, but your excellent response will make a huge difference!"
Parent - CA - 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
"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
"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
"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
"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
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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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:
1. My son was offered a preferred walk-on spot at the D1 school of his dreams mainly due to his relationship with your program
2. As a true freshman, he beat out the incumbent senior (not a Rubio student) to earn the starting Long Snapper position
3. 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.
4. 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
5. 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 - 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
"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."

"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"

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."

"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 competition 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 work hard. 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."

Just wanted to let you know (with out our son''s knowledge) whats going on with him he graduated in May 09 and is enrolled in grad school playing his fifth year.So far so good he''s getting a good deal of interest from pro scouts (just not any Texas teams ha ha) I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the things you have done to help him in his endeavors at long snapping you have had a lot more of a impact than you''ll ever know believe me I see things you showed and taught some yrs ago being used every day in his routine. 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, 2009, IL
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, 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 this far 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 in a 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

Parent - NC - 2009
"Just a quick note to say thanks for a great camp. With 5 kids at home, we tend to be big on organization & 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 ! "

Parent - AZ - 2009
"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 preparation in the game of life. See you at LSU if not before"

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
"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 someone 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
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 - NC - 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's film 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 building Daniel''s confidence and inspiring 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."

"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 fundamentals 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."

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
Hey Rubio..... I absolutely LOVE the twitter thing. I have been getting the updates via phone and my son has too.This is one of the best things for our kids. Your daily motivational quotes, updates on what others are doing, and the successes of others are great. It helps to keep the boy''s minds on their goals. Thanks soooooo much!

"I would like to thank CSK and Chris Rubio in particular for their professionalism, work ethic and support for the last 4 years. My son first started working with Rubio in the 8th grade. My daughter played travel ball softball, earning a D-1 scholarship and I am currently on a D-1 football staff so I can speak intelligently regarding youth camps/combines and the various promises made by those running the camps. CSK and LS are in a league of their own. As I said, I've seen and listened to dozens of coaches in two sports as my kids attended their camps and nobody comes close to the level of professionalism of CSK and LS. Both Rubio and Sailer are extremely knowledgeable in their fields and are excellent coaches.One of their best qualities is they are honest and upfront with their assessments and brutally honest in their reviews of the kids efforts. They do not promise anyone anything but exposure from their time with CSK but are the most well connected group of youth coaches I've ever seen. Their camps and lessons are always extremely well run/organized and on time. This is no easy feat considering their last combine had over XXX attendees. Their camps are always productive and competitive and light years away from the typical t-shirt/picture and handshake of so many skills camps.Their reputation with collegiate coaches is second to none and that is because of the quality athletes they deliver. This goes back to their practice of being honest in their evaluations and not simply taking your money. I've witnessed Rubio on several occasions tell a young man exactly what he thinks of his efforts and abilities and whether or not he can compete at the next level.I would encourage any parent who wants to support their son in kicking/long snapping to contact CSK. They are both excellent coaches who will give your son an outstanding education in either field and will work tirelessly in an effort to promote those that have the ability to compete at the collegiate level. If anyone has any questions they can contact Rubio and he'll put you in touch with me."

"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"

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

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."

"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.

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

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

The exposure to college coaches these boys are getting is impressive. I appreciate the one on one attention you have given my son Michael. I have seen a dramatic improvement in his ability and his desire that I directly attribute to your encouragement. Again, thank you!"

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

What can I possibly say? Thanks for:
- Making every snapper feel like they are most important to you.
- Running a true world-class event (and making it look easy to do).
- Going above and beyond expectations.

"On behalf of Nolan and our family, we are honored to speak on behalf of Chris Rubio and Chris Sailer and what they have done for our son. Nolan came to Chris Sailer Kicking early in his sophomore year and immediately connected with Chris Rubio and the long snapping program. As parents we were unsure of where this would lead but along with Nolan made a serious commitment to long snapping. Fast forward to 2007 and Nolan has just committed to play for a major university on FULL SCHOLARSHIP. If it weren't for Chris Rubio and his techniques, expertise, instruction, reputation and dedication to the art of long snapping Nolan would not be playing for a division 1 football program. Chris is more than just a long snapping instructor he's a master at it. Just take a look at the list of past and present recruits and you'll see the success of his program. It's with deep appreciation and gratitude we have for Chris Sailer Kicking that we say THANK YOU. We hope to make you proud for years to come!"
Parent of a High School Senior, CA 2007
"I would like to personally thank for you for the private instruction that you gave Chase in the summer of 2006 at the University of Hawaii. I can say without a doubt, that Chase attending your instructional event was THE TURNING POINT for him as far as getting him to the next level and for the constant motivation that he has acquired. Chase and I often review the video that we took of your instruction and I am still impressed with your teaching skills and format. You are responsible for putting Chase in a position to continue to play the game that he loves and to continue his education. Again Chris, thank you for things you have done for Chase, it is truly amazing at how a weekend can change a lifetime and this has been evident in Chase''s case. "
Parent of a High School Senior, HI 2007
"Thank you again for helping him to become a better long snapper and especially for the pub. Your program is outstanding, I only wish we had known about you earlier."
Parent of JC Long Snapper, 2007
"Thank you for helping me develop into a better snapper, you and the chris sailer kicking website played a big part in exposing me and giving me plenty of opportunities to continue playing football in college."
Division 1 Long Snapper, Florida, 2007
"I just wanted to tell you how much Ty & I enjoyed the Top 12 camp. We both felt it was an intensive 3 days of work. Having the opportunity to compete against that caliber of snappers, along with the fundamental drills you taught should take everyone of those young men to a higher level of snapping.
In addition to the improvements Ty has made while attending your camps, he and I have always came away with at least one drill to add to our workout routine. This has helped Ty improve his snap times, accuracy and footwork.
Thanks for your devotion and promotion of long snapping."

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

"This just came out today and I thought you might like to know since you share in this as well. Zach was selected First Team All Southwest Junior College Football Conference (SWJCFC) Long Snapper by the conference coaches. He's worked hard for this honor and you've played a major role in this accomplishment. Not only have you taught him well, you've inspired him to keep getting better. "
Parent of JC and soon to be D1 Long Snapper, TX 2007
Thank you for helping me get to where I am at now. Without your help SJSU wouldn't of even thought about giving me an opportunity."

"It all started at your great camps."
Parent of a D1 Long Snapper, NV 2007
"None of the people I have met so far have the knowledge, experience, or teaching capability that you do. Aaron never would have gotten this far without your help, and he will never get any better unless you continue to teach him. Thanks for everything you do for us"
Parent of a D1 Long Snapper, CA 2007
"I highly recommend the Chris Sailer National Long Snapping Competition. Long Snapping Instructor, Chris Rubio, is a role model for athletes because of his talent, motivation, and encouraging manner. As a Long Snapper, my son''s skills greatly improved from attending this competition and, as a result, he earned a full athletic scholarship to an outstanding Division 1 College."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, CA 2006
"Chris Rubio, of Chris Sailer Kicking, is simply the best long snapping instructor in the world. He is a gifted instructor; an expert in the technique, art, and science of long snapping; and the number 1 resource the nation''s top football programs look to when they need to find long snapping talent. His track record of developing long snappers for the collegiate level is unparalleled. The value received from attending Chris Sailer Kicking & Long Snapping Camps far exceeds anything we could have hoped for."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, TX 2006
"Thanks for everything you have done to support Corey during the entire recruiting process. You never made a promise you did not keep, or a commitment you did not follow through on."
Parent of a High School Senior, CO 2006
"It has been a surreal experience for me to watch him perform at this level, especially being an alumni of the school. The camps and work that you have personally provided to him has been invaluable in his achievement. I am sure he will continue to work with you in the summer camp and whenever possible. I cannot thank you enough. "
Parent of a D1 Snapper, KS 2006
"I am not much for words, but you two guys operation is what I consider as professionalism from top to bottom. The camp you provide and run is excellent. I wish we would had known of you guys a couple of years ago."
Parent of a High School Senior, TX 2006
"My son has been to other football and baseball camps and we both thought that your camp was the best he has been to. Other snapping camps he has gone to have not been as helpful and the staff not nearly as knowledgeable as yours was last weekend."
Parent of a High School Snapper, Texas 2005
"Your attention to detail along with the genuine care shown toward the kids has set you apart from the rest. As parents we sometimes worry about the people that come into the life of our kids that have influence, such as teachers, coaches, etc. We pray that some of them will have a positive influence. I''m proud to say that Scotty has met you and that you are part of that circle of influence. Your passion for helping the boys was evidenced by you and your staff''s willingness to teach, instruct, and coach the group throughout the weekend."
Parent of a High School Snapper, Louisville 2005
"I really wanted to just say thanks for all of your help. My son would not be close to where he is today without you. You are a great teacher, coach and mentor. Rarely does my son look forward to a workout; he does with you, because it is you. Thanks again."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, California 2005
"I have never been to a combine, camp or competition as well run as the one that you and Chris Sailer put on. It ran on time, followed the schedule, and delivered what was promised better than any event that my son has participated in or that I have gone to in my role in the media and following college football recruiting. I was wondering about the promise of coaches attending the finals, but I have to admit that I haven''t seen that many Division I, I-AA, II, III, and JC coaches in one place other than the AFCA Convention."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, Oklahoma 2005
"You are by far the most knowledgeable person when it comes to long snapping we have meet."
Parent of a D2 Snapper, Florida 2005
"In a relatively short amount of time Chris Rubio has become the # 1 authority on coaching and evaluating long snappers throughout the country. When a coach wants a long snapper, they know to go through Chris Sailer Kicking and contact Chris Rubio. I would highly recommend to any long snapper wanting to be seen by college coaches to attend the National Kicking Combine in May and the National Kicking Competition in January."
Special Teams Coach. D1A 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
"Congratulations to both you and Chris Sailer on a job well done at the Las Vegas Kicking/Snapping Competition. The event was well staffed, ran smoothly and was very organized. There was very little down time so the participants kept warm and on-track. The talent was excellent and from all parts of the US and the number of coaches in attendance was impressive."
Parent of a D1 Snapper, California 2004
"I just wanted to write to you to tell you and your staff thank you so much for the camp you put on last weekend. You guys did an excellent job with coaching and teaching everyone the in and outs of snapping."
Long Snapper, Kentucky 2004
"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."
