Camp Tips for Recruits

  • After any camp, follow up with an email to every coach you interacted with within 48 hours.
  • Budget $1,000-3,000 per year for camps and combines. Plan your calendar strategically.
  • Avoid expensive events that promise 'exposure' but have no confirmed college coaching attendance.
