Tremendous Advantage of Overnight Camps

NKS overnight camps provide so much more for the player than a limited "day camp" format. The three days and two nights of camp include seven full field sessions, extra help sessions, lots of individual attention, at least two extensive video analysis sessions, sports biomechanics classroom work, meetings on all physical and mental training aspects specifically for kickers, punters, and long snappers, optional college recruitment process meeting and more.

The camps also offer a taste of collegiate life at some of the nation's finest colleges and universities. The experience lends itself to more interaction with coaches and players alike and a special camaraderie within the special teams positions. The overnight camp will also save the hassle and expense of booking hotel rooms, the cost of restaurant meals or a possible long daily commute.
* Day campers will still benefit greatly from the extended sessions and meetings.

Long Snappers

Long snappers are a huge part of the NKS program. A common misconception presumes there is really little instruction or specific training necessary to become proficient at the skill. Nothing could be further from the truth. Principles of sports biomechanics and task specific training are essential for all skills. NKS long snappers receive the most advanced training through, in part, a series of drills with and without the football. These drills reinforce the most mechanically efficient method of snapping the ball. Campers will learn revolutionary training exercises that have our snappers achieving phenomenal snap times and accuracy.

Video analysis, sports biomechanics classroom instruction, physical and mental training meetings are all part of the camp experience. NKS long snappers have their own coaches and receive full time instruction during the entire camp, unlike what other programs may offer. (Long snapping if offered at these camp locations only: McDaniel College, Monmouth University, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, California Lutheran University, and Stetson University.)

NKS Stands for Integrity

Our mission and privilege is to assist each and every player whose passion is placekicking, punting, or long snapping work toward their goals with expert instruction, honest evaluation, encouragement and support.

We do not make exaggerated claims and promises or surround our program with hype or hollow celebrity glitter in order to exploit young athlete's dreams and aspirations as is the disturbing trend today. Although there are certainly numerous high school and collegiate stars who attend our programs yearly, NKS is not an "elitest" program where staff members cater only to those who, at the time, may be performing at a higher level than others. All NKS program participants receive a great deal of individual help from a staff that really cares. NKS's reputation speaks for itself throughout the USA.
