Prokicker.com National Kicking Competition

Rankings for Kickers, Punters, and Long Snappers

The Ray Guy | Prokicker.com Academy is the most comprehensive instructional program in football that truly provides a national competitive platform for athletes to develop and earn recognition. The strategic placement of training camps in every major United States geographical region allows kickers, punters, and long snappers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to compete with athletes from all across the country for walk-on recruitment and scholarship opportunities.

Regardless of where you live or what level of competition, athletes from anywhere have a timely advantage to learn and compete on an “equal playing field” throughout the entire winter, spring and summer months!

In today’s highly competitive recruiting market it is extremely challenging to receive a scholarship right out of high school. It’s actually considered to be quite an honor to even be recruited as a walk-on. Athletes simply need an innovative way to distinguish themselves, promote their ability, and be found by the college recruiters. There are nearly 15,000 high school football teams in the US compared to only a few hundred colleges that even offer football scholarships. And even fewer programs that truly have a need for a kicker, punter, or long snapper in a given year.

Before an athlete can be recruited…he must be found.

Before an athlete can be recruited…he must be found. Credible recruiting combines specializing in the kicking, punting, and long snapping field, are extremely rare and even then only a very limited number of college coaches on the national level actually attend. The athletes and coaches that do participate usually live in close proximity to the area or region of the country in which the combine is located or they are fortunate to have the financial means and time to travel great distances. This format may prove successful, but it leaves out the vast majority of the nation’s talent by not truly representing all the recruiting regions or the coaches from those areas.

College coaches desperately need the ability to find athletes right in their own recruiting area as well as on the national level. It’s a tremendous advantage to discover a prospect who lives in the same geographic region and who may already have a strong desire to attend their school. Prospective athletes naturally tend to gravitate to schools closer to home as opposed to ones that are further away.

Coaches today are extremely limited with time and financial means to travel to find these prospects, especially with recruiting demands and tight budgets. When initially seeking a kicker, punter or long snapper, most coaches will not travel. They rely heavily on high school coaches or recruiting services to help identify potential recruits.

The Ray Guy | Prokicker.com Academy annually provides over 50 training locations in cities all across the United States allowing more athletes an opportunity to develop their individual technique and promote their athletic skills. This instructional format does more than maximize participation on the national level; it enables a true measure of talent by canvassing the entire country from coast to coast and identifying the most credible prospects in football. Individual performances will simply gain more attention and prestige by truly competing with the nation’s finest athletes.

At every training site each athlete receives one-on-one attention allowing him to develop his very own personal style. Throughout the entire instructional process athletes are continually evaluated and charted to enhance skill development as well as establish individual progress. At the conclusion of each camp session the most recent statistical information is entered into an innovative database which identifies the rankings for that particular camp and also updates the national rankings. This allows immediate internet access to a listing of the top ranked players at their position level and the most current information available on their performance capabilities.

This same process allows the rankings to evolve chronologically throughout the entire camp season by continually elevating the best performers to the top of the state, regional, and national ranking list. The national competition culminates at the conclusion of the last instructional session of the summer. The nation’s final ranking by position is then determined as well as the introduction of the most comprehensive football recruiting list of its kind!

At anytime throughout the entire camp season athletes can take advantage of the ranking process by participating at multiple locations to “raise the bar” and improve their ranked position. Once scores are recorded and displayed they can only go up. This simply means only your best performance will be ranked or none at all. That will be your decision. This will provide each player the opportunity to continually develop their skills, enable them to perform at the most optimum level, and at the same time produce the most current information available on their performance capabilities.

The Prokicker.com National Rankings Competition empowers every college football coach internet access to the most comprehensive listing of credible kicking, punting and long snapping prospects in the entire nation. Every prospect discovered is personally charted and evaluated for the coach without ever having to travel or even leave the office. The timeliness of this information provides a tremendous recruiting advantage by identifying prospective student-athletes prior to their final high school football season. Athletes included on this exclusive list will position themselves for early commitment offers as well as become recognized for walk-on recruitment and scholarship opportunities!
