The 2017 Vegas XXVIII Photo Edit Contest Winner is….. Anthony Tom-Makue (2019, HI).
Thank you to the over 75 Chris Sailer Kicking specialists that submitted entries this year. Take a look at the Chris Sailer Kicking Facebook Page to see many of them. I was impressed with nearly every one of them. As a matter of fact, many of the entries could have been selected. Anthony Tom-Makue is the recipient of FREE Admission to Vegas 30 (May 13-14, 2017). Congratulations. See you all in Vegas!

For the past few weeks, you have been watching the TOP 12 Kickers / Punters get chosen one by one. Each time a selection was made, one person was ecstatic while countless others felt the opposite emotions. When the final TOP 12 Camp Invitee was chosen a balloon was popped for many 2018, 2019 and even some 2020 Kickers / Punters. Now what?
Couple ways to look at it….
You can be upset with me for not selecting you. You can be upset with yourself for not performing when it counted. You can even find a way to blame others, but, it is ultimately on you. The only thing you can control is how hard and smart you work. Everyone in Vegas is competing for the same spots. Don’t let anybody outwork you and you will see different results.
You need to use this as motivation to make sure you perform better. This is all up to you. The choice is yours.
If you are a Kicker / Punter that strives to be the best, you want to be at that TOP 12 camp this summer. Any single athlete that has been there (scholarship Kickers / Punters, All-Americans, NFL players) will tell you it is, by far, the best camp they have ever been to in their life. What you need to do is get back on the horse. Work smarter and harder. Your opportunity is waiting for you in Las Vegas. VEGAS 30
At Vegas 30, I will choose 20 additional TOP 12 Camp Invitees. They will join the first 20 selected at the Invite Only TOP 12 Camp this summer. This is a true invite only camp. I do NOT just hand out invites to get people to come to it. That would give me no credibility. I choose the best because they are the best. They will represent the TOP 12 and Chris Sailer Kicking forever.
Remember there will be a web series all about this year’s TOP 12. Don’t miss out.
Are you one of them? Time to decide. Prove to me, and the rest of the world, that you belong.
Or don’t.
THE CHOICE IS YOURS…..

This camp is as much about building friendships/bonds as it is about learning, competing and gaining exposure. These memories last a lifetime. Want to be a part of it? See in Las Vegas January 13-15, 2017 at Vegas XXIX. To be the best, train with the best! #TeamSailer #TOP12 #EventElite

For the past couple weeks, you have been watching the “EVENT ELITE” Kickers/Punters get chosen one by one. Daily, you stared at your Twitter feed, Instagram or Facebook waiting for your name to be announced. Each day, a couple people were ecstatic while countless others felt the opposite emotions. A couple days ago, the final members of the “EVENT ELITE” were announced and a balloon was popped for many 2017, 2018 and even some 2019 K/P’s. Now what?
Couple ways to look at it….
You can be upset with me for not selecting you. You can be upset with yourself for not performing when it counted. You can even find a way to blame others, but, it is ultimately on you. The only thing you can control is how hard and smart you work. Everyone in Vegas is competing for the same spots. Don’t let anybody outwork you and you will see different results.
You need to use this as motivation to make sure you perform better. This is all up to you. The choice is yours.
If you are a Kicker/Punter that strives to be the best, you want to be at that “TOP 12” and “EVENT ELITE” camp during the summer. Any single athlete that has been there (scholarship K/P’s, All-Americans, NFL players) will tell you it is, by far, the best camp they have ever been to in their life. What you need to do is get back on the horse. Work smarter and harder.
Many great Kickers/Punters did NOT make it simply because in Vegas they didn’t feel they could. They did NOT have confidence. They were HOPING they would perform well instead of KNOWING they would perform well. Sound familiar?
Just because you didn’t make the “TOP 12” and “EVENT ELITE” does NOT mean that you aren’t and elite payer capable of big things at all and that you should just stop. It means that you need to work harder and smarter at VEGAS XXIX in January to be selected to the next year’s “TOP 12”.
You need to knock my socks off. THE RANKINGS CAN BE ADJUSTED ANYTIME I SEE YOU LIVE. You need to show everyone this summer as I pass through the country that you are the best. Dominate. Know you can do it AND do it!
The best of the best ALWAYS step up.
Are you one of them? Time to decide. Prove to me, and the rest of the world, that you belong.
Or don’t.
THE CHOICE IS YOURS…..

In 2003, Chris Sailer Kicking established the biggest kicking, punting, and long snapping camp the world had ever seen, The National Kicking Competition. The camp brought in the best of the best from across the nation to compete at one location. The camp established credible recruiting rankings and evaluations for kickers, punters, and long snappers that college coaches across the country would use for years to come. The camp, now simply known as VEGAS takes place in Las Vegas each year in January.
Every athlete comes with one major goal in common, making the prestigious “TOP 12”. This is THE exposure list to be on for national exposure. The twelve best underclassmen in the nation are identified for the Kicking/Punting positions. The best of the best are then invited to the exclusive, invite only,“TOP 12” camp that following summer. College coaches take notice, and scholarships are awarded.
To get an idea for what the “TOP 12” is all about, take a look at some of the very best over the years: Ryan Succop (South Carolina & Tennessee Titans), Kai Forbath (UCLA, Lou Groza Award Winner, & New Orleans Saints), Dan Bailey (Oklahoma State, Lou Groza Award Winner & Dallas Cowboys), & Randy Bullock (Texas A&M, Lou Groza Award Winner, & New York Jets), Bryan Anger (CAL & Jacksonville Jaguars), Brad Nortman (Wisconsin & Carolina Panthers), Blair Walsh (Georgia & Minnesota Vikings), Justin Tucker (Texas, Baltimore Ravens & Super Bowl Champion), Jeff Locke (UCLA & Minnesota Vikings), Cody Parkey (Auburn, Philadelphia Eagles), Tress Way (Oklahoma & Washington Redskins), Ka’imi Fairbairn (UCLA, Lou Groza Award Winner & Houston Texans). Just to name a few!
