So You Didn’t Make TOP 12, What Now?

March 7, 2019 By

For the past few weeks, you have been waiting anxiously to see if you were going to be selected to the TOP 12 Camp. When the first 20 selections were announced, 20 kickers / punters were ecstatic. Hundreds of others were upset, frustrated, angry, etc…. rightfully so. As athletes and competitors the desire to succeed should run deep.

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 XXXIV

At Vegas XXXIV, 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.

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…..

2019 CA Spring Camp Recap – Colton Theaker Wins It!

March 4, 2019 By

The 2019 Chris Sailer Kicking Spring Camp Tour is officially underway. Over the next 2 months 1000+ participants will attend Chris Sailer Kicking / Rubio Long Snapping camps in CA, TX, NC, GA, IL, WA, NJ, AZ & WA on the road to Vegas XXXIV (May 11-12). Instruction, competition, evaluation & national rankings will take place at each one of these camps. The ultimate goal is an invitation to the prestigious TOP 12 Camp that will take place in Los Angeles, CA on July 15-17.

The first stop was Los Angeles, CA. As always, the talent was off the charts. Take a look at the results!

CA Competition Champions: Paxton Winders, Triston Brown, Colton Theaker & Josh Bryan

Overall Camp Champion – Colton Theaker (2019, CA)
The Cal Poly SLO commit and 2018 TOP 12 Selection was dominant from start to finish. He won the Kickoff competition by averaging 70+ yards with 4.0+ hang time. He was excellent on field goal. Colton has 55+ yard range and kicks with great consistency. He is also a very capable punter. Colton is a big time competitor that thrives under pressure. He is absolutely ready for the next level.

Field Goal Champion – Josh Bryan (2021, CA)
Josh was the only freshman invited to be invited to the TOP 12 Camp last year. He followed that up with another invitation to the 2019 TOP 12 Camp with a stellar performance at Vegas XXXIII. The #1 Kicker in America continued to dominate at the CA Camp. He won a major field goal competition by going 7-7 with a long of 60 yards. Josh is the real deal and deserving of D1 scholarship offers already right now!

Field Goal Champion – Paxton Winders (JC, CA)
Paxton had by far his best performance at a Chris Sailer Kicking camp at the CA Camp. He did an amazing job on field goal. He nailed 85% of his field goal on the day and has range of up to 60 yards. He won a major field goal competition by going 6-6 with a long of 57 yards. Paxton is also outstanding on kickoffs averaging 65+ yards with 3.9+ hang time. He should be a major competitor for a TOP 12 spot at Vegas XXXIV.

Punting Champion – Triston Brown (JC, CA)
Triston continued his great run of strong camp performances by dominating all punt competitions at the CA Camp. He won both punt competitions against the pure punters, then won the major competition by averaging 45+ yards with 4.5+ hang time. His best punts on the day measured 50+ yards with 5.0+ hang time. Triston already earned his invitation to the TOP 12 Camp at Vegas XXXIII. He shows no signs of slowing down. Triston is cementing himself as a D1 scholarship level punter.

They should be commended on their accomplishments. I understand that many other tremendous kicking and punting specialists in attendance were also deserving and can state their case as to why they are deserving over the first 20 selected. In the end, as always explained, these choices were made based on several factors and ultimately the decision of Chris Sailer.

Are you disappointed that you weren’t selected? There are two ways to go about it. You can either 1). Complain, quit and blame others for the decision, or 2). Continue to work harder than ever getting ready for Vegas XXXIV (May 11-12, 2019) and prove that you belong among the elite. Chris Sailer Kicking will select 20 more Kickers / Punters to attend the TOP 12 Camp at Vegas XXXIII. See you soon at the greatest camp on earth…. Vegas.

I’m a Senior, What Should I Do In November?

November 15, 2018 By

5 Easy Tips For The Class of 2019 To Get Ahead In Recruiting – November

1. Stop panicking.  We are still very early in the recruiting process.  Less that 5% of the class of 2019 (K/P) have made college commitments.  Less than 10% of the class of 2019 (K/P) have been offered any sort of college opportunity.  Note, there are many waves of recruiting.  Recruiting will last all the way through August when fall camps officially begin for the upcoming college football season.

2. Take unofficial visits as often as possible.  An unofficial visit simply means that you have to pay for the visit yourself.   Getting on campus is the best way to show a college football program genuine interest.  Sending emails, making phone calls, direct messaging on social media, etc. simply isn’t enough anymore.  A coach will know that you have a real interest once you make the effort to get on campus.

3. Start to narrow down your search to universities and colleges that are realistic options.  This includes level of football (FBS, FCS, D2, D3, NAII, JC, etc.), level of academics, region of the country, etc.  Stop targeting D1 football programs if you are not a D1 recruit.  Stop targeting high academic institutions if you have a 2.0 GPA.  Find schools that will reciprocate interest in you and opportunities will follow.

READ THIS BLOG ON HOW SCHOOLS RECRUIT

4. Ask for an opportunity, not a scholarship.  Every college coach in America knows that you would like to be offered a scholarship.  When you ask for a scholarship, this turns them off.  You are basically limiting communication opportunity.  When you ask for an opportunity to be on the team, coaches will be receptive.  You are opening a door for communication.  The goal in recruiting is to create options.  Offers of any kind, create buzz, which create more options.  Scholarship vs. Preferred Walk On offers will take care of itself in the end.

5. Get ready for XXXIII (January 19-20, 2019).  The biggest mistake made these days is thinking that recruiting for seniors is already over by this time.  In fact, it is the exact opposite.  90% of Kickers / Punters in this class will be recruited heavily during this time of year.  It will be feeding frenzy.  National Letter of Intent Day (NLI) is in early February.  Vegas takes place this time of year for this reason.  College coaches pay a tremendous amount of attention to the Vegas results and post Vegas rankings.  Scholarships offers and preferred walk on opportunities will be won this weekend in Vegas.

THIS IS WHAT VEGAS LOOKS LIKE! SEE YOU THERE….

2018 WA Fall Camp Recap – Kyle Sentkowski Dominates!

October 24, 2018 By

Chris Sailer Kicking traveled to Seattle, WA for the largest camp to date in the Northwest. Nearly 60 Kickers & Punters participated in this very popular growing camp. The weather was ideal once the competitions began and the results were impressive. Take a look at the results.

Overall Camp Champion: Kyle Sentkowski (JC, CA)
The long time Chris Sailer Kicking and 3-Time TOP 12 Camp Invitee was absolutely dominant. He won the kickoff competition on this day by averaging 70+ yards with 3.8-4.10 hang time. Kyle was also fantastic on field goal. He made 85% of his kicks and once again showed range of up to 60 yards. Kyle has proven on a consistent basis that he is ready for the next level. He is going to be a great player for a college football program.

Kyle Sentkowski, OFFER NOW!!!

Field Goal Champion: Micah Hertz (2019, CA)
Micah put on his best performance by far at Chris Sailer Kicking camp. He has developed into a fantastic college kicking and punting prospect. On this day he won the field goal competition by going 8-8 and hitting from as deep 55 yards out. His kickoffs are solid. Micah also does a nice job punting the football. Micah has the tools to challenge at both positions at the next level.

Punt Champion: Nick Kokich (2019, WA)
Nick is another long time Chris Sailer Kicking K/P that is really starting to come into his own. He was clearly one of the most talented punters in attendance. He averaged 40+ yards with 4.4+ hang time. His best ball measured 50 yards with 4.8 hang time. Nick is also a talented kicker. I project him as a P/KO specialist at the next level. He is a fine young man that has a bright future ahead of him.

2018 NJ Fall Camp Recap- Aidan Clark Pulls Out a Close One!

October 15, 2018 By

The 2018 Chris Sailer Kicking Fall Camp Tour and the Road to Vegas XXXIII continued this past weekend in Holmdel, NJ. Over 50 specialists representing 6 states attended this growing camp. The conditions were ideal and the results were great! Take a look..

Overall Camp Champion – Aidan Clark (2020 CT)
Aidan had his best performance at a CSK to date. He won by showing consistency in the afternoon session making the finals in both the field goal charting competition and kick off competition.  He then came out on top in the last man standing competition.  He won the camp by showing great range from 50 plus.  On kickoffs, Aidan has the ability to drive the ball deep into the end zone. He will be someone to watch for at Vegas XXXIII.

Aidan Clark (2020, CT)

Kickoff Champion – Than Hylen (2019, PA)
Than was far and away the most talented kickoff specialist at the camp. He averaged 55+ yards per kick with 3.7-4.0 hang time. He also made strides in his ability to kick fields goals showing a smooth transition to kicking off the ground. Than is very composed and will make a fine addition to college program. Look for him to compete for the kickoff title at Vegas XXXIII.

Field Goal Charting Champion – Tommy Dellaporta (2021 NY)
Tommy was the most improved veteran Chis Sailer Kicking student at the camp.  He has made tremendous strides in his consistency and leg strength. He won a major field goal competition by going 5-5 with an impressive kick from 50 yards that had plenty of room to spare.  He only missed a few kicks the entire day. Tommy also displayed punting ability by hitting several punts 40+ yards with 4.2 plus hang time. Tommy has a very bright future ahead as a combo athlete. Look for him to have a strong showing in Vegas XXXIII.

Punt Champion – Adam Heston (2020 NJ)
