Reply to "How to Decide Which Camps to Attend?"

My son received 3 offers and likely would have received many more but found the perfect fit and went early decision to a HA D3. The head coaches at all 3 schools never saw him play in person. The RC’s did, and the head coaches saw lots of video of him.

There are some kids - your son and West Coast Papa's son appear to be among them - who were at or near the top of many coaches' boards. For kids like that, I think the answer to the original question is "you don't need to attend any college camps". But what about the kids in the middle of the board or lower? (I'm not saying that's your son, OP.) What do they need to do? I don't really know, but it probably is different for each one, and it may involve camps, plus more reaching out, more emails, more networking, more expanding the number of schools you're targeting, and of course having a little luck in finding the right match.
