Camp Tips for Recruits

  • Avoid expensive events that promise 'exposure' but have no confirmed college coaching attendance.
  • College camps at your target schools offer the best return on investment — coaches see you on their campus.
  • Before paying for any event, ask: which specific coaches will be there? Get confirmation.
