@TerribleBPthrower posted:Have the coaches had any conversations with your son? Would the camp require a hotel and airfare? Where is the school on his target list? And one last one to consider (I don't expect an answer but you should think about it), will this impact your ability later to pay for another camp down the road?
One of the things my son considered (on the advice of a recruiter and coaches) a 2 day camp is 3-4 days you're not in the gym or training. This time of year the kids are limited by the calendar to a specific number of days where they can work towards their goals before the spring practices start.
If the goal of the camp is to be discovered I'd save your time and money. If that isn't the goal then I would consider the other factors I mentioned above.
No airfare or hotel required. Email conversation only (direct personal ones that aren't mass emails). From the conversations, they are aware of him...just need an opportunity to actually "see" him. This camp is affordable and won't impact our ability to pay for another camp down the road. It's a half-day camp and will not impact his off-season training. It may impact his availability schedule down the road, as there seems to be a lot of college camps held in August.
We have concerns that the 7.0sec 60 time would scratch him off their list. Could a 7.0 time be negative exposure at a camp?
