Kohl's Staff has great relationships with 100's of college coaching staffs. The following schools have asked Kohl's to lead their specialist camp for kickers, punters, and snappers.

After the football season is done, the bowl season begins.  Many of our top campers have been invited to the nation's top all-star bowl games. Kohl's Camps is the sole selection source for the Under Armour All-American Game.  This year's selections - Ross Martin, Austin Hardin, Zach Hirth, and Reid Ferguson played in this prestigious game. All the participants stated to us that they loved the experience and were in awe of the talent assembled for the game.

In another big All-American game, 3 of the 4 specialists selected were Kohl's campers.  We want to congratulate Brad Pinion, Nick Jordan, and Paul Griggs for their selection to play in the US Army All-American Game.

Kohl's Kicking, Punting, and Snapping Camps will be leading training camps in Ohio, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, California, and Alabama in February and March of 2012.  These camps are normally smaller in numbers but the average athlete that attends this type of camp is very serious and normally very committed to becoming excellent.  Our staff gets a great opportunity to get to know the campers personally at these training camps.  They also prepare these campers for the all important months that lie ahead.

Long-time camper and staff member Marquette King pictured with legendary NFL head coach Dick Vermeil at the NFLPA All-Star game which was aired on NBC last weekend. 

Marquette King is hoping to join fellow staff members: Thomas Morstead (Saints), Pat McAfee (Colts), Tim Masthay (Packers), Brett Hartmann (Texans), and TJ Conley (Jets) as starting NFL punters.  He took a big step this past weekend by dropping some 5.6 and 5.7 hang-times on some of his punts.  Marquette is a loyal Kohl's guy and we want to see him live his dream. He truly loves punting and should be one of the most sought after punters in the 2012 NFL draft class.
