Camp Tips for Recruits

  • College camps at your target schools offer the best return on investment — coaches see you on their campus.
  • 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.
