I get asked hundreds of questions per day. I post to social media and write blogs to make finding answers to these questions easier. Perhaps the most common question that we get asked is…. “Which camps should I attend?”
I can understand why this question comes up so often. There are so many options out there that it can become confusing. After 17 years in the business, I know the value of great instruction, the value of education, and perhaps most importantly, the value of exposure. I make choices each year to offer our clients the best possible options to achieve success. Chris Sailer Kicking remains #1 in the business for that reason. High school coaches, college coaches and NFL coaches trust in Chris Sailer Kicking. The proof is in the results.

Chris Sailer will no longer run college camps as the NCAA has passed a rule no longer allowing any non university employee to serve as instructors at these camps.
