December 11, 2019 By

The 2019 Chris Sailer Kicking Fall Camp Tour continued this past weekend in Northern California.  This Fall, CSK along with Rubio Long Snapping has made stops in NC, NJ, WA, Southern CA, TX, IL, AZ, GA and finally Northern CA on the road to Vegas XXXV (January 18-19, 2020). All in all 1300+ Specialists are expected to participate in the largest season circuit in the history of the company. At the end of it all, Chris Sailer Kicking will once again name the 1st 20 Kickers/Punters selected to participate in the prestigious TOP 12 Invitation Only Camp at Vegas XXXV. And for the first time ever, Chris Sailer will select 2 Kickers and 2 Punters to play in the All-American Bowl on NBC live on location at Vegas XXXV. Hang on as this is going to be an incredible ride.

Check out the results from Northern California…

Overall Camp Champion

Fabien Guillen (CA, 2020) – Fabien has arguably his best ever performance at this Chris Sailer Kicking camp. After sweeping both punt competitions, Fabien’s solid day continued in the overall camps finals. Fabien hit a 45 yard punt with 4.35 seconds of hang time to take home the “Camp Champion” title and claim his first ever full camp win. He was consistent all day on all punting fronts and showed major improvement with directional punting. A well deserved and earned camp win, expect this Top 12 punter to continue his dominance at Vegas XXXV.

Kickoff & Field Goal Champion 

Dante Jackson (CA, 2020) Dante absolutely crushed it all day with a clean sweep of all 3 kicking competitions. Dante went 8 for 8 in charting, won the last man standing competition with a 52 yarder. His Kickoffs were all 68-70 yards with a very consistent hang of 3.8 plus. Dante made a statement in Northern California and showed why he is one of the most talented kickers in his class!

Punt Champion 

Fabien Guillen (CA, 2020) – Fabien won both punting competitions on the day and was a model of consistency all day. Fabien got several balls 50+ with over 4.5 seconds of hang, picking up where he left off from the Los Angeles camp earlier this Fall. He was solid directionally all day and showed great control and composure in all of the technical work. Winning both punt competitions does not happen often, but it goes to show the caliber of day Fabien had. Looking forward to Vegas XXXV, Fabien should once again be in the mix to go deep into the finals!

2019 Nor Cal Spring Camp Recap – Jackson Foster Dominates!

March 25, 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.

Northern California, the Bay Area, is the newest Chris Sailer Kicking camp location. The turnout for the inaugural camp was fantastic! Take a look at the results…

First ever Chris Sailer Kicking Camp in Northern California

Overall Champion – Jackson Foster (2019, CA)
Jackson continued his great punting display from a stellar Vegas performance. In the morning session, Jackson was consistently hitting punts 45-55 yards with 4.3+ hang time. His smooth footwork and tall, athletic frame make his potential and ceiling extremely high. During the afternoon competitions, Jackson turned it up another notch and hit several balls 55+ yards with 4.9+ hang time. He hit back to back 55 yard 4.6s hang time punts to win the final camp champion competition!

Jackson Foster & Aaron Perez

Field Goal Champion – Micah Hertz (2019, CA)
The long time Chris Sailer Kicking student was once again extremely consistent and accurate. Micah won the charting competition and showed the most consistency on field goals throughout the day. He hit many kicks of 50+ yards. He was also very strong on punts throughout the day and competed very well there. Look for Micah to make his college decision soon and to be playing on Saturdays in the fall.

Field Goal Champion – Hunter Ridley (2021, CA)
Hunter won the last man standing field goal competition. He was very smooth and consistent all day. Hunter gets great height on his ball and hit several kicks of 50+ yards. Hunter also showed very strong potential on kickoffs and with improvement there can become a top kicker in his class.

Kickoff Champion – Dante Jackson (2020, CA)
Dante came out of nowhere at the Vegas prep camp earlier this year and immediately established himself as a strong, athletic and potentially dominant 2020 kicker. During kickoff, Dante absolutely smashed the ball and his best ball was 70 yards with 4.1 hang time which won him the competition. He also showed well on field goal and hit several kicks over 55 yards. With continued development Dante is going to be special at the next level.
