The 5th Annual Kicking & Snapping Event Sponsored by NIKE and hosted by Chris Sailer Kicking was once again a tremendous success. 325 plus specialists gathered in Las Vegas on the weekend of January 13-14, 2007 bringing together the best the nation had to offer. Athletes gathered from over 40 states and 3 countries this year.
The Event has become so large that some call it the “Super Bowl” for Kickers, Punters, and Long Snappers. Over the course of the two days, athletes participated in instructional drills, attended informational meetings, and watched professional and collegiate kickers demonstrate kicking, punting, and snapping skills at the absolute highest level.
The Event is designed to help High School and Junior College specialists become the best they can be. The camp offers the ultimate exposure for young kickers, punters, and long snappers looking to take their game to the college level.
The camp always brings in the best the nation has to offer, and this year was no exception.
