Chris Boniol was born and raised in Alexandria, Louisiana where he attended Alexandria Senior High School. He then earned a scholarship and played four years at Louisiana Tech University. After signing with the Dallas Cowboys in 1994 as an undrafted free agent, Chris proved to be one of the most accurate and consistent kickers in the league. Boniol earned a reputation as one of the NFL's best big-game kickers.

During his three years in Dallas, Boniol became the first player in Cowboy's history to record three consecutive 100-point seasons with an 88.9% success rate on field goals. Boniol was a member of the Super Bowl XXX Championship team. He also had separate streaks of 27 and 28 consecutive field goals, including a NFL record 7 for 7 field goals in a game against the Green Bay Packers.
Boniol then went to the Philadelphia Eagles as a free agent in 1997. After spending two years with the Eagles, he signed with the Chicago Bears for the 1999 season.

After six NFL seasons, Boniol retired with 567 points, 78.5% field goal accuracy, and two NFL records (most field goals in one game-7, and most field goals in a half-5). In addition to his NFL records, Boniol holds six Dallas Cowboy regular and post-season records. He proved to be a clutch kicker by connecting on eight game winning or game tying field goals in the last two minutes of regulation or overtime.

Chris is married and has two boys ages one and two. After graduating from Louisiana State University in December of 2001 he became a middle school math teacher. Boniol is now the Special Teams Coordinator at Marcus High School in Flower Mound, Texas. He also teaches Math and coaches at Clayton Downing Middle School.

The Chris Boniol Kicking Camp has been in existence for five years primarily in his home state of Louisiana. Two camps were held in Texas during the 2002 summer, and more locations across the country are expected in the future

	When I first heard about the "Kicking.com Network", I thought it was great. However, after thinking about it more, I was concerned. I wondered why Doug & Tommy would share so many tricks of the trade with kids who are going to be trying to steal our jobs some day!
