Reply to "How seriously to take this coach email?"

I know that's not always easy for young teens to navigate but maybe, between the two of you, you can come up with a line of dialog that he is comfortable with.  Something like.. "Coach, I'm very interested in the school and would like to attend the camp.  My parents also support me going to this school and my grades and test scores should measure up.  But, my parents' guidelines for paying to send me to a camp are that I am a player of specific interest to a school.  Can you tell me if I am anywhere on your board yet?"  

This may feel a little forward but if it can't be answered, what does that say about their level of interest?  It appears there is some but is it just passing?  At least maybe this will open up some additional dialog prior to the camp.  Maybe that interest will increase or decrease once he throws in front of PC.  It just seems like it is worth while to know as much as you can going in.  As disclaimer, though, that is definitely my nature, sometimes to a fault.
