Picking Which College Camps to Attend
How do you find out which college recruiting camps various college coaches will be attending? You ask them.
During the winter, ask the coaches at the colleges you are considering which college athlete recruiting camps they intend to work that summer. They may even volunteer this information unsolicited in an effort to get their recruits to a venue where they can be observed at length.
Once you know the camps a coach will attend, make the appropriate notes on your log sheets. Request the camps' promotional materials and registration forms.
After having a few such conversations with various coaches, you might determine that the coaches from, say, your seven schools of greatest interest will not be attending any camps in common. No sweat, you can still get a lot out of a college recruiting camp.
Fortunately, college coaches are highly networked and are often willing to share information about prospective players.
