Camp Produces College Offers and Commitments

Southern Specialists Camp Produces College Recruits, Offers and Commitments.

On January 12th, Coach Chris Husby of Special Teams Football Academy and Coach Brian Jackson of Team Jackson Kicking.  The two kicking organizations partnered together and put on a fantastic camp in Atlanta, GA that saw 43 campers, 8 staff members, and 10 states represented.  Since that camp, many of the specialists have been offered scholarships to all divisions of football, as well as preferred walk on invitations to colleges.

For more information on the recap of the 'Southern Specialists Camp' and information on our next winter camp, continue reading below.

43 campers, 8 staff members, and 10 states represented

The camps duration was 8 hours on a beautiful January Saturday, with 73 degree sunny temperatures, and about 5-10 mph wind. The facilities at Carrollton High School (Atlanta, GA) were perfect and the event included demonstrations by staff, instruction, competitions, charting, and live game situations. Most of the sessions were videotaped by the camp directors, and during lunch, parents and players were invited to watch film and learn more about the recruiting process.

Staff Demonstration

Here are a few camp Testimonials:

• Great atmosphere, quality teaching and participants were serious/quality young men. - Parent   

• My son has been to several camps hosted by several companies. Your camp was the most organized of all the camps that he attended. - Parent

• I had a really fun time, and made some new friends -Athlete

• The Southern Specialist Camp, as well as Team Jackson Kicking, showed me that just because your just a little part of this wonderful game of football, doesn't mean your not important to the team. That Kickers/Punters/Snappers are a crucial part of a win and that without all 3 of those specialists, you cannot be a TEAM. Thank you Coach Husby and Coach Jackson.  - Athlete

• Going to the camp was one of the best experiences I had. Not only did I learn a lot but I also made new friends. The friendly atmosphere makes it easier to learn from the coaches provided!  - Athlete

Great learning environment

This camp was for ages 10-19, but the focus was on high school aged kickers, punters, longsnappers, and holders to showcase their skills in front of college coaches from D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO schools. There were a handful of coaches on hand, and there were over 30 coaches after the event that have requested recommendations on seniors and juniors as possible players for their program.

Kicking Coach Testimonials

This past week I have received two great testimonials from a parent whose son attended one of my recent kicking camps, and from a collegiate specialist I have helped train over the last 2 years and mentor as he pursues the NFL.  Please enjoy them as I have as well.

"We've been to multiple camps like Kohl's and Sailers, but this camp was ran much better. The staff were very personable and did a good job combining instruction and competition with players. It was also nice to see how much fun everyone had throughout the event." - Parent Testimony from our Southern Specialists Camp

43 Specialists attended the Southern Specialists Camp we ran with Team Jackson Kicking

"Chris is an not just another kicking instructor.  He is a teacher that is willing to take the time and effort to look at each kicker and punter on an individual level in order to cater to their specific needs, kicking style, and approach.  He has years of collegiate experience, and Free Agent NFL level training and tryouts, which have allowed him to not only help high school and college specialists, but myself included.  Chris does all of this in order to give back what he has learned over the years and I applaud him for that.  I can't thank Chris enough for the influence he has played during my collegiate career at Minnesota, but also as a mentor as I continue on in my journey to the NFL.  I would recommend Chris to anyone that is looking to improve themselves on and off the field." - Jordan Wettstein, University of Minnesota, Kicker 2009-2012 & Green Bay Blizzard Arena Football 2013
