Special Teams University Long Snapping Lesson with James Ring

December 30th 2012 I met up with James Ring and his father Dave for our second long snapping lesson. We met in Stillwater MN at the Stillwater Soccer Dome.

This facility is great because it is very large and is a great distance for me to get into MN and work with my clients there. The last time we had a long snapping lesson we focused on very basic aspects of snapping due to the fact that James was a beginner that had no previous long snapping instruction.

Special Teams University Long Snapping Lesson With Ross Markham

Tuesday Dec 18th I was able to meet up with one of my students Ross Markham. I first met Ross while I was a counselor at the UW-RF kicking, punting, and long snapping camp back in 2007.

We started doing private long snapping lessons in 2011 so that he could help his chances of making it on the football team for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Ross is currently attending the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and was the backup long snapper his freshman year. We plan on changing that soon.

Working live snap, hold, kicks

My Story - Kyle Stelter Owner Of Special Teams University

I stole this from a friend but live my life this way

I want to give you a little background on how I got into long snapping and my story.

(Just a heads up, I have a horrible memory so digging deep into my past is tough...haha) The first memory I have of long snapping is from my freshman year of high school.

Like many freshman teams, the special teams portion is not quite developed and not many guys even know how to snap, kick, or punt.

Somehow I was wrangled into long snapping and knew just enough about snapping to get the ball back to the punter and holder.
