Renowned Kicking, Punting and Snapping Coach, Gary Zauner is now offering Kicking and Snapping Camps for "POP" Warner and Middle School Kickers and Snappers. 

Coach Zauner, former 11 year College and 13 year NFL Special Teams Coordinator who has now coached, consulted and trained 120 plus NFL and CFL kicking specialists, including 25 PRO Bowlers is now hosting camps in November and May in Arizona and July in Wisconsin for "POP" Warner and Middle School Specialists. 

These (1) ONE Day (2) Practice Kicking and Snapping Camps are designed to make specialists more accurate and consistent.   My goal as a teacher with a Masters Degree in Education and former high school, college and NFL coach is to emphasize fundamentals and techniques with regards to the ART of Kicking and Snapping a Football. 

Coaches, if your looking to improve your percentages of kicking (2) two point conversions during "POP" Warner games than you need to look to improve the form and technique of your snapper and kicker.  If you don't have a snapper or kicker than develop one.  The Coaches Edge To Winning - Is The Kicking Game!

These camps are NOT for Ranking and Ratings. My philosophy is if you want to be improve your ranking or rating at showcase events, than improve your technique.

Trent Sieg Oakland Raiders Snappers


Trent Sieg Colorado State University and Oakland Raiders

Congrats to Trent Sieg (Colorado State University Snapper) for signing with the Oakland Raiders for the 2018 NFL Season.
Trent Sieg at ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson in Fountain Hills, Arizona
I first met and worked with Trent Sieg back in 2016 when he came to Fountain Hills, Arizona for a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson.  He told me that his goal was to become and NFL snapper and wanted to do whatever it took to give him the best chance to achieve his goal.  

Trent Sieg Works To Improve His Snapping Accuracy & Consistency
Like most snappers he had some excellent potential but needed to become more accurate, consistent, and improve his blocking footwork.

In the past couple of years Trent took several ONE on ONE Snapping Lessons and also attend my Snappers ONLY 'Vital Man' Training Camps in both Arizona and Wisconsin. 
2016 Snappers ONLY 'Vital Man' Training Camp in Franklin, Wisconsin 

These Snapping Camps are designed for the College, Free Agent and Elite High School Snappers to be exposed to NFL Coaching Techniques.   I not only emphasize how to improve your snapping accuracy and consistency but also expose these snappers to NFL blocking and coverage Techniques. 

These camps are attended every year by many of the nations top collegiate snappers.  They all want to know how they stack up with other top college and NFL potential snappers around the country.  


In the past several years there have been many elite college snappers attend these Snappers ONLY 'Vital Man' Training Camps.  Several of them are now playing on Sundays!  Morgan Cox (Ravens), Matt Overton (Colts),  Kevin McDermott (Vikings), Joe Cardona (Patriots), Kyle Nelson (49ers), Reid Ferguson (Bills), Beau Brinkley (Titans), Zach Woods (Saints), Hunter Bradley (Packers), Rick Lovato (Eagles) and now Trent Sieg (Raiders).



In January of 2018 Trent was again here in Fountain Hills for a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson, than came to the January Snappers ONLY Camp preparing for the 2018 College Senior Combine.

Coach Zauner's 9th Annual College Senior Combine attracted 70 College Seniors.  Trent was one of the 19 Snapping, Punting and Kicking Specialists that I recommended  to the 32 NFL Professional Football Teams that I felt have as NFL potential.

After the 2018 NFL Draft Trent signed a Free Agent Contract with the Baltimore Ravens.  Trent was very fortunate to play in all five preseason games and show other NFL teams what his true potential would be.   

When Andrew DePaola the Raiders snapper unfortunately got injured in the opening game the Oakland Raiders had tryouts and brought in six free agent snappers.  After an extensive workout Trent Sieg was the Raiders choice. 

So, Congrats to Trent for all his hard work and dedication to pursuing his goal of becoming an NFL Snapper.

So, if your looking to get better as a snapper come to Arizona or Wisconsin for a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson or attend one of Coach Zauner's Snapping Camp.  If your a snapper looking for exposure to NFL Teams than attended Coach Zauner's College Senior or Free Agent Combines.  Remember, Coach Zauner's Snapping Programs are...

Scott Daly Signs with Dallas Cowboys


Scott Daly University of Notre Dame Snapper Signs with Dallas Cowboys

Scott Daly at Coach Zauner's 2018 Free Agent Combine
About two weeks after Coach Zauner's Free Agent Combine on March 12th and 13th 2018, I received a call from Scott Daly telling me "Coach, I had a great workout the other day with the Dallas Cowboys and they are offering me an NFL Contract.  All I could say was "Great News!"

Scott Daly in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson
I first met snapper Scott Daly about four years ago when he was a junior at the University of Notre Dame.  All I can say is "what I nice young man".  

I first started working with Scott in the spring of 2015 when he came to Fountain Hills, Arizona for his first ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson. 

For the next couple of years I would either see Scott in the Spring or Summer for a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson or he would attend one of my Snappers ONLY "Vital" Man Training Camps either in Arizona in January or Wisconsin in July. 


This year in February Scott again came to Arizona for another ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson to prepare for my Free Agent Combine in March. 


During the lesson we continued working on his blocking technique but the focus was on trying to improve his snapping speed.  Since graduation he has been in a couple of NFL camps but always released.  One of the repeated comments by NFL Coaches was his snapping speed. 

Well, that issue has been resolved.  In the last year Scott has worked a couple of drills to improve his speed and his hard work has paid off.  A contract with the Dallas Cowboys.


Coach Zauner's Snapping Programs in the last 9 years have produced 26 snappers on NFL and CFL rosters.  This year University of Oregon snapper, Tanner Carew was invited to the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine.  Hopefully, in the fall there will be at least two more snappers on NFL rosters.

Good Luck To Scott Daly!

Ike Powell University of Auburn Snapper, NFL Prospect

In July of 2018 I first met Auburn University's snapper, Ike Powell when he attended Coach Zauner's Snappers ONLY 'Vital Man' Training Camp in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

In the last several years Coach Zauner has worked with many of the top High School, College and Free Agent Snappers.  His ONE on ONE Snapping Lessons and Snapper's ONLY 'Vital Man' Training Camps have exposed young Snappers to a PRO Style of Snapping, Blocking and Coverage Techniques.

In 2016 twenty-four snappers attended the July Snappers ONLY Training Camp in Milwaukee, WI. These camps were designed specifically for any High School Elite or College Snapper that has a dream of playing in the NFL.

In these 'Vital Man' Training Camps, I try to expose all these young snappers to a PRO Style of snapping, various types of blocking footwork, protections and coverage technique.

In 2017 Ike Powell returned again to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for his next Coach Zauner's 'Vital Man' Training Camp.  This camp had 20 high skilled and motivated snappers.  There was a lot of drill work on snapping consistency, NFL protection footwork, and various blocking techniques.

Scott Daly (Notre Dame) and Nolan Dowling (Western Kentucky) were in the 2017 NFL draft and were back in camp trying to get better.  Both were invited to NFL mini camps but were not signed to contracts.

These 'Vital Man' Training Camps are producing results for many college snappers. Ike Powell  and Tanner Carew (University of Oregon) were both invited to the 2018 Reese's Senior Bowl while Jake Wirsching (Bemidji State) was invited to the 2018 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and Hunter Bradley (Mississippi State) attended the East / West Shrine Game.


For two years I have seen Ike Powell up close during these Snappers 'Vital Man' Training Camps.  He is always listening and looking to get better and has show me to be very coachable.  

South Specialists: JK Scott (Alabama), Ike Powell and Daniel Carlson (Auburn)
Auburns specialists have benefited from having Ike as their snapper.  This year Auburn's kicker, Daniel Carlson along with Ike Powell have both been rewarded for their success with an invite to Reese's 2018 Senior Bowl.  

I have seen Ike for two years in camp and will work with him more after the Senior Bowl when he moves to Phoenix, Arizona to continue his training.   I believe Ike is a NFL Prospect.  He is one of the top snappers coming out in this years 2018 NFL Draft. 

I wish Ike the best of luck in pursuing his dream of playing on Sundays for an NFL Team.

Tanner Carew University of Oregon Snapper and NFL Prospect


NFL Prospect, Tanner Carew University of Oregon Snapper

Tanner Carew University of Oregon Snapper
I first met University of Oregon Snapper, Tanner Carew about two years ago when he came to Fountain Hills, Arizona for a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson.  

I believe Tanner had heard about me from his teammate Aidan Schneider the University of Oregon Kicker, who I had been working and training since his sophomore year at Oregon.  

Later that year he came to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for his next ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson. There he and a very good snapping friend Scott Daly, from the University of Notre Dame worked out together at my summer location at Wisconsin Lutheran College.

2017 was going to be Tanner's final college season.  He was working his butt off to be the best he could be.  He came to Arizona twice in the spring.  The first visit was for a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson and the next visit was to attend one of my a PRO Development Camp for College, Free Agent and Elite High School Snappers, Punters and Kickers.  
Tanner Carew Works NFL Punt Protection Footwork at May PRO Camp
In the last two years I have worked a lot with Tanner on his footwork and blocking technique.  In my opinion there are many good college snappers, but the difference between those college snappers that make it into NFL training camps or make final rosters, are those that can snap consistently and block an NFL rusher. 

Coach Zauner's Lessons and Snapping Camps Produce Results for College Snappers
Just a quick note. In the last several years Coach Zauner has worked with many of the top High School, College and Free Agent Snappers.  His ONE on ONE Snapping Lessons and Snapper's ONLY 'Vital Man' Training Camps have exposed young Snappers to a PRO Style of Snapping, Blocking and Coverage Techniques. 

These 'Vital Man' Training Camps are producing results for many college snappers. Tanner and Ike Powell (Auburn) were both invited to the 2018 Reese's Senior Bowl while Jake Wirsching (Bemidji State) was invited to the 2018 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and Hunter Bradley (Mississippi State) attended the East / West Shrine Game.

In the last two years that I have worked with Tanner, he has shown me to be not only coachable but also willing to try anything.  As I tell all the kicking specialists I train, "When you get to an NFL mini or training camp, many NFL coaches might ask you to do something a little different then what I'm asking or telling you to do".  "You need to adapted and try to conform to what that NFL coach wants you to do to fit into his system.   

Tanner is what I term a quick study.  He can adapt or adjust to just about anything I throw at him.  However, he and all specialist have to find out what works best for them. 
Tanner Carew Working Punt Protection Footwork During ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson
Tanner has now finished his senior season and has been rewarded for his hard work and successful career with an invite to the 2018 Reese's Senior Bowl.  Tanner Carew will be the snapper for the North Team and Ike Powell (Auburn) will be the snapper for the South Team. 
Coach Zauner with Ike Powell (Auburn) and Tanner Carew (Oregon)
Tanner was already an excellent snapper when I first met him.  I'm proud to say I had a chance to work and train him for the last two years and expose him to how an NFL Coach thinks and coaches specialists.  I just hope I played a small part in his success.  As a teacher and coach, I and any teacher finds success in seeing their students get better and be successful.  

Being invited to the Senior Bowl was a big start.  But than being invited to the NFL Combine was huge.  Every year the NFL Combine invites what they consider to be the best ranked or rated snapper by their scouting services.  This year the 2018 NFL Combine committee selected Tanner Carew. 

Being selected to the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine is not a sure thing of being drafted.  However, his chances are better than most.  I hope he will get a chance to play on Sundays, like many of his snapping friends and fulfill his dream of playing for an NFL Team.  Good Luck Tanner!
