"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

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,

"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. "

"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."

I want to thank you for yesterday''s camp for my son.  He walked away with a lot more confidence and in knowledge in his snapping.

PARENT, 2009, IN

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

"On behalf of Nolan and our family, we are honored to speak on behalf of Chris Rubio and Chris Sailer and what they have done for our son.  Nolan came to Chris Sailer Kicking early in his sophomore year and immediately connected with Chris Rubio and the long snapping program.  As parents we were unsure of where this would lead but along with Nolan made a serious commitment to long snapping.  Fast forward to 2007 and Nolan has just committed to play for a major university on FULL SCHOLARSHIP.  If it weren't for Chris Rubio and his techniques, expertise, instruction, reputation and dedication to the art of long snapping Nolan would not be playing for a division 1 football program.  Chris is more than just a long snapping instructor he's a master at it.  Just take a look at the list of past and present recruits and you'll see the success of his program.  It's with deep appreciation and gratitude we have for Chris Sailer Kicking that we say THANK YOU.  We hope to make you proud for years to come!"

"I 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 HS senior, Atlanta, GA 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

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."

D1 Long Snapper, CA 2007

"Chris Rubio, of Chris Sailer Kicking, is simply the best long snapping instructor in the world. He is a gifted instructor; an expert in the technique, art, and science of long snapping; and the number 1 resource the nation''s top football programs look to when they need to find long snapping talent. His track record of developing long snappers for the collegiate level is unparalleled. The value received from attending Chris Sailer Kicking & Long Snapping Camps far exceeds anything we could have hoped for."

"I 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. "

"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."

I will say am very impressed with the quick response. I emailed two of your competitors last week ands still haven't heard from any of them. Well, I don't need to look anywhere else for my sons long snapping!

Parent, ID, 2009

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.

"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"

"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!"

Chris Rubio: Hope all is going well with you and your family,looks like thing are going well with your business. 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

"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 ! "

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.
