Stop Wasting Money on the Wrong Summer Camps
The strategic approach college-bound athletes need to turn camp attendance from an expense into a scholarship investment
Are you making camp mistakes that are killing your scholarship chances?
Many recruits waste summers at the wrong camps. Here’s the strategy college-bound athletes must follow. Know your timeline:
Seniors, it’s too late for random camps—focus on schools already interested in you.
Juniors, pick three to five camps where you can shine, at schools matching your skill level, that have responded to your outreach, and where you can dominate the competition.
Sophomores, cast a wider net to get noticed by coaches.
The biggest mistake? Showing up to camps without contacting coaches first. Families often believe, “I’ll stand out at camp, and coaches will recruit me.” Wrong. Coaches prioritize kids they already know. Send your film to coaches first, then let them know which camps you’re attending.
This shift makes camps an investment, not an expense.
