Kohl's Kicking In Action Picture

Long-Snapping Camps

Kohl's Snapping Camps will be in more locations and offer more training options in 2010 than ever before.  Our 2010 class landed at more college programs than any other group we have ever coached.  Kevin Garviolle and Matt Purvis will lead the snapping division in 2010.  Both coaches snapped at a high level in college and both have had NFL tryouts with-in the last 2 years.  Matt will lead all camps west of the Mississippi River and Kevin will lead camps east of the Mississippi River.  Both coaches will rank and rate athletes for Kohl's.  Kevin and Matt will both be present at Kohl's National Elite and Scholarship Camps. Our snapper ratings are sent to every college program that offers football scholarships.  Our top 2011 and 2012 snapping campers will have profiles made on ESPN.com and also be included in articles written by Kohl's staff from training camps from all over the nation. Our goal in 2010 is have America's premier snapping camps. 

Recent Email - I wanted to write because Theresa, and I are so impressed with Jamie's credibility within the collegiate Football network, and his commitment to PJ. I am sure this rings true with the rest of the Kohl's team. There is no way we could have the resourced all the teams that have shown an interest in PJ.  You guys have given PJ all the tools to succeed at division-1 level. Further Jamie has given us some very good and sincere insight on the schools that have shown an interest in PJ. Kevin has kept in touch with PJ and I. PJ feels a very close bond with both Jamie, and Kevin. We are one set of parents who are beaming with pride knowing our son will have a chance to realize a dream of playing in a big time program. This would not have been possible had we not attended the Kohl's Camp. --Pete Mangieri (father of starting Big 12 Snapper)
