With health concerns and restrictions across the country, this showcase season's format will look quite a bit different to ensure the safety of our athletes, coaches, and parents-- but the opportunities to separate yourself and be evaluated for college coaches remains the same.
To ensure the safety of our athletes, we have replaced our regular National Showcase Tour with smaller-numbered showcase charting sessions in certain areas. This will allow our staff to effectively chart and evaluate specialists to help in the college recruiting process and be issued a Kohl’s National Ranking.
Overall Schedule
We want to remain flexible so we can adhere to local health official guidelines and recommendations to create a safe and productive atmosphere for our athletes. This will entail disinfecting footballs, no indoor meetings or activities, and grouping athletes into smaller charting sessions over the course of the day to maintain social distancing practices while out on the field.
*This schedule is subject to change at any time
Showcase Sessions
Session times will vary, and final reporting times will be sent out via email 1 to 2 days prior to the event. You can expect your 1.5 to 2-hour charting and evaluation session time to be between 8 AM and 2 PM.
You will receive
Video of Charting Sessions (New added value)
Every camper’s charting session will be videotaped for the Kohl’s staff to review for rankings and reference and potentially send out when talking to college coaches. To receive this video personally, you can purchase a profile package add-on below to use in your recruiting efforts.
Training Session
Training Sessions will take place in the afternoon from 2-5 PM. We will cover field goals, kickoffs, and punting during this three hour training period. Our staff will not take the camp indoors during this session. Every athlete will receive our 60 page training manual and leave with a better understanding of technical improvements they can make to progress as a specialist.
Health Guidelines
We ask that attendees follow all recommended government and local health guidelines. More mandatory guidelines will follow in the precamp email.
(Video produced in 2019, but the message remains the same. Showcase format in 2020 will look different than pictured, featuring small group sessions.)
Top athletes during this showcase tour will be considered for invitations to the Kohl's Kicking National Scholarship Camp, which has historically been the most notable event in America for kicking, punting, and long snapping prospects, and has been the choosing ground for the Under Armour All-America Game Specialists.
The NFL Draft has historically been a big day for Kohl's athletes, and the 2020 NFL Draft was no different. It will provide a great opportunity for drafted and undrafted free agent specialists to compete for a starting job in the NFL.
26 of the last 35 NFL drafted specialists over the past 8 years have been Kohl's attendees. Here's a look at all 31 Kohl's athletes taken in the NFL Draft and how involved they were with the Kohl's Staff.
