2017 NC Spring Camp Recap – Nicholas Sciba Wins It!

The Chris Sailer Kicking 2017 Spring Camp Tour made its second stop in Charlotte, NC this past weekend.  This is by far the fastest growing location both in talent and attendance as of late.  Nearly 200 specialists participated in this highly competitive camp.  All in all well over fifteen states were represented.  It was clear from the outset that many were set to prove that they were ready to challenge for a TOP 12 spot this coming May in Las Vegas.  Take a look at the results.

Overall Champion
Nicholas Sciba (2018, SC) – The TOP 12 Camp Invitee (January) was steady from start to finish.  As always, he showed up focused and determined to dominate.  He won the field goal competition by demonstrating excellent accuracy and range.  He also finished in the final 3 in the kickoff competition.  This talented combo player (K/P) is proving that he is ready for the next level.  Look for Nicholas to be near the top of college recruiting lists as we enter the summer.

Punting Champion
Cody Creed (2018, NC) – Cody decided to focus on punting on this day and his decision paid off.  The talented combo player (K/P) has excellent all around ability.  He dominated the punting group by winning 2 of the 3 major competitions, then came through in the final competition nailing several punts over 40 yards with 4.4 plus hang time.  Cody is a special talent that will challenge for a TOP 12 spot this coming May in Las Vegas.

Class of 2017 MVP
Jefferson Norwood – The longtime Chris Sailer Kicking Kicker continues to excel at a new level each time we see him.  He has 55+ yard range on field goals off the ground.  Kickoffs are deep with excellent hang time.  He is also coming into his own as a punter.  Jefferson is absolutely ready for the next level.

2017 CA Spring Camp Recap, Barr-Mira Wins as a Sophomore!

The Chris Sailer Kicking Spring Camp Tour got off to a fantastic start in Los Angeles, CA this past Sunday.  Over the next 3 months Chris Sailer Kicking & Rubio Long Snapping will train and evaluate over 1000 specialists.  This is a huge time of year in recruiting as college coaches pay close attention in the off season.  This is also a time when many other specialists are taking time off or playing other sports.  The benefits are tremendous for those that are dedicated to their craft.  Take a look at the results.

Overall Camp Champion
Nicholas Barr-Mira (2019, CA) – Nicholas became one of the few sophomores to ever win a 1-day regional camp.  The talented player won a field goal competition by going 6-6 including several 50+ yard field goals.  He is also solid on kickoffs and shows punting potential.  He has landed inside the Top 10 nationally ranked prospects in his class after his strong performance.


Field Goal Champion

Jack Morrell (2018, CA) – Jack has been solid now at several consecutive Chris Sailer Kicking camps.  He is a great high school kicker that is competing at a very high level.  He showed off his accuracy in the pole drill and followed it up by nailing several 50 yard field goals.  Jack has the tools to take his game to the college level.

Kickoff Champion
Jonah Lipel (2018, CA) – Jonah was perhaps the most talented prospect at the entire camp.  The long time Chris Sailer Kicking student and recent TOP 12 camp invitee was dominant from start to finish.  He won the kickoff competition with a 70 yard, 4.20 kickoff.  His field goals are clean off the ground with elite height.  Jonah is a D1 prospect that will get the attention of many college coaches this off season.

Punt Champion
Quinton Conaway (JC, CA) – Quinton dominated the punting portion of camp for the majority of the day.  The Oklahoma native and Texas State commit has trained with Chris Sailer Kicking for over 5 years now.  He averaged over 40+ yards, with 4.4+ hang time on the day.  He also has a D1 kickoff leg.  Quinton is mature, experienced and ready for the next level.

It’s Almost Spring & You’re a 2017 Kicker/Punter, Now What?

This is easily one of the top questions I get from senior Kickers/Punters and/or their parents. Here are the answers:

  1. You should definitely be at Chris Sailer Kicking Camp to stay sharp, focused, continue to learn how to handle pressure and show absolute dominance.
  2. If you are uncommitted, read THIS and THIS and get yourself ready for VEGAS 30 for a final push at exposure.
  3. If you are committed, you need to push yourself even harder. Dominate every camp. Commit yourself to not being stagnant.

All seniors and their parents need to remember, while you still have some time left in high school, colleges and their football programs aren’t stopping to wait for you. They have several Kickers & Punters on their roster and they already hate you for even thinking you will attempt to take their jobs come the summer time. (Fast forward a few years and think about how you will feel being on the other side)

I have done this many times and  have seen countless senior Kickers & Punters coast through their senior year only to find a nice spot on the bench come fall. Coaches call me continuously asking how the Kickers & Punters that they recruited are doing. Needless to say, they are not happy when I tell them “Oh, I haven’t seen him since VEGAS XXIX”!

The senior Kickers & Punters that keep working and attending camps are the ones that start.  It’s like clockwork.

Never rest and never stop improving seniors. See you soon!

To be the best, train & compete with the best!

Recruiting Simplified

Recruiting is full of ups and downs, full of emotional highs and lows, full of stress… but ultimately the prize at the end of the process will be well worth it…. IF you handle the process correctly.

Here is a guide for Kickers & Punters , in its simplest for, to live by.

Freshman Year:
– Focus on getting better (Lessons, Camps, Vegas, Underclassmen Invitational).

Sophomore Year:
– Focus on getting better (Lessons, Camps, Vegas, Underclassmen Invitational).
– Attend 1 or max 2 college camps simply for experience.

Junior Year:
– Focus on getting better (Lessons).
– Dominate competition (Camps, Vegas, TOP 12 Camp, FBU Top Gun, College Camps).

Senior Year:
– Focus on getting better (Lessons).
– Dominate competition (Camps, Vegas).
– Be patient.  Recruiting does not end on signing date (NLOI) in February. Recruiting ends in August once Fall Camps begin.
– Realize that lessons and camps do not end once you commit, in fact they are just as important or even more important.  Those who continue to stay focused will be ready for college.  Those who don’t, will sit on the bench in college. Attend regional camps, attend Vegas, attend the CSK College Camp that summer.

If you are not committed by signing day (NLOI) here are some tools to use to find the right college fit:
– You are part of the majority, not the minority.  Take a look: 2017 Rankings as of 3/1/17
– Every college will take 1 Kicker and 1 Punter per year on average.  There are hundreds of colleges, do the math.  There are opportunity out there.
– Be proactive.  Sitting on your couch and waiting for a call is not going to work.  Sending emails without any action is not going to work.  Waiting on your high school coach or Chris Sailer is not going to work.
– Visit colleges, get on campus! This will show a coach genuine interest.  Get face time and tell that coach that you want a roster spot and a chance to compete.  Don’t just ask for a scholarship.
– Be open to MANY colleges, not just a short list.  Dedicate the months of March, April, May & beyond to this task.
– Use NCSA, they will hook you up with many options.
– In the end, I believe everything happens for a reason.  You will end up where you belong as long as you are open minded.  Choose the school that is right for you.  Transferring should not be an option.

So You Didn’t Make TOP 12, Now What?

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…..

Evan McPherson Comes Out On Top In Charlotte!

The road to Vegas XXIX continued with a stop in Charlotte, North Carolina on November 20th.  This was the largest fall camp to date filled with big time talent.  Dozens of athletes in attendance will soon be making an impact on Saturdays. The competition to make TOP 12 is heating up.  Take a look at the results.

img_2507Overall Camp Champion:
Evan McPherson (2018, AL) – The longtime Chris Sailer Kicking specialist is the real deal.  He is smooth and accurate on field goals and kicks with great consistency.  He has a D1 kickoff leg.  On this day he won the kickoff competition by hitting several balls over 70 yards with 4.0+ hang time.  Evan is also a strong punting prospect.  Overall he is a confident performer that does very well under pressure.

img_2520Field Goal Champions:
Nicolas Sciba (2018, SC) – Nicolas is proving that he has the tools to be an excellent college kicker/punter.  On this day he won a major field goal competition by hitting on 90% of his field goals with range up to 55 yards.  He averages over 65 yards on kickoffs with solid hang time.  He is also one of the more consistent punters in his class.  Nicolas has a great head on his shoulders and competes with the best of them.

img_2533Chris Dunn (2018, NC) – The longtime Chris Sailer Kicking specialist and Event Elite member is simply outstanding.  He is one of the strongest competitors that I have ever had the privilege of coaching.  He hits an extremely accurate ball and is unfazed.  He is also strong on kickoffs.  Chris is one of the most mentally ready high school players in recent years.  The NC State commit is special.

 

img_2518Camden Lewis (2019, NC) – Camden is starting to make some serious noise.  He is a great young athlete that is competing at the highest level.  He won a major field goal competition by nailing 8 straight field goals without a miss.  He is also well above his class on kickoffs.  Look for Camden to be one of the very best in his class.

 

img_1552Punt Champion:
John Brosnahan (2018, NC) – John has dominated several Chris Sailer Kicking camps with his consistency.  He averages well over 40 yards with 4.5+ hang time.  His footwork is solid and he’s able to control the ball well.  John has the tools to be excellent at the next level.

 

img_1536Top 2017 Prospect:
Tommy Martin (VA) – Tommy is a big time prospect.  He is a top 5 national punting prospect and a top 25 national kicking prospect.  A great athlete that has the tools to compete and excel at any college level.  Tommy is a competitor that does very well under pressure.  OFFER NOW!!!

 

2017 Standouts: Jefferson Norwood, Zach Stearns, Michael Leisle, Shawn Andrew

img_1478Top 2018 Prospect:
Skyler DeLong (SC) – Skyler is one of the best all around kicking/punting prospects in the nation without a doubt.  He has great range on field goals off the ground, kickoffs are college ready, and he crushes punts.  Skyler has all the tools to earn a D1 scholarship.

2016 WA Fall Camp Recap, Newcomer Obi Eriza Wins It!

The Chris Sailer Kicking Fall Camp Tour made its most recent stop in Seattle, WA.  This region of the nation is bringing more and more talent to the table with each camp we run here.  This was the largest turnout yet in the Northwest and the talent did not disappoint.  The results rivaled previous fall camps in IL, FL & PA.  On a beautiful day, with near perfect conditions the following athletes stood out.

Overall Camp Champion
img_2388Obi Eriza (2017) – It is rare that a first time Chris Sailer Kicking camp attendee wins it all, but Obi accomplished exactly that.  He was solid during the morning session and caught my eye as someone to watch.  He stepped up in the afternoon and won the last man standing field goal competition.  He then defeated Mark Kharchenko and Manuel Leonzo in the semi-finals and finals respectively.  He is a talented athlete with a strong leg.  Look for Obi to one day challenge at the college level.

Field Goal Champion
img_2399Manuel Leonzo (2017) – Manuel has now performed at a high level at several Chris Sailer Kicking camps.  He hits a pure ball off the ground on field goals and shows 50+ yard range.  He is also strong on kickoffs averaging 60-65 yards with 3.7+ hang time.  Manuel is an excellent talent that will star for a college football program.

 

Kickoff Champion / Punt Champion
img_2376Mark Kharchenko (2017) – Mark was one of the best all around talents at the camp.  He punted majority of the day and dominated the competitions.  He averages well over 40 yards with 4.3+ hang time.  A big, tall, strong athlete that has the frame and skill to be an outstanding college punter.  He also won the kickoff competition by hitting several balls into the end zone from the 35 yard line with 3.7+ hang time.  Look for Mark to contribute as a P/KO combo player at the next level.

Top 2017 Prospect
img_1390Kyle Sentkowski – The longtime Chris Sailer Kicking student and 2-Time “Event Elite” Member put in another solid performance.  He has 55+ yard range on field goals off the ground.  Kickoffs are strong and continue to be near the top of his class.  Kyle is also establishing himself as a legitimate college punting prospect.  Kyle is mentally strong and shows every sign of being ready for D1 football.

Next Best: Tyler Padilla – Talented combo player K/P.

Top 2018 Prospect
img_2394Conor Calvert – Conor continues to develop at a fantastic pace.  He has attended several Chris Sailer Kicking camps over the years.  He hits a smooth and accurate ball on field goals.  He won the Class of 2018 kickoff competition with a 63 yard, 3.6 yard kickoff.  He is also a capable punter.  Conor is proving that he will one day be a great college player.

 

Next Best: Holden Kooiker – Excellent athlete with a strong leg.

Top 2019 Prospects
Bryce Law & Tanner Shattuck – Both athletes proved worthy of this recognition.  Bryce has one of the stronger legs in his class and shows great ability as both a kicker and punter.  Tanner did very well on field goal and then stepped up to win the Class of 2019 kickoff competition.  Both are future stars.

Next Best: David Eisenkraft – Has the tools to challenge the best in his class.

Other Class of 2017 Standouts: Ben Cameron, Grady Eglin, Liam Carius, Nathan Morrow, Omar Dominguez, Thomas Monaghan, Beck Harper, Cody Bragg

Other Class of 2018 Standouts: Ben Pahl, Cory Davis, Lance D’Alesio, Nathen Cutler

Other Class of 2019 Standouts: Max Chandler, Chase Hallenius, Cody Redmond, Gannon Bendix, Griffin Cummings
