Camp Tips for Recruits

  • Your club coach is your best resource for identifying which events are worth your money and time.
  • Avoid expensive events that promise 'exposure' but have no confirmed college coaching attendance.
  • Contact the coaching staff BEFORE attending their camp to express your interest. They will watch more closely.
