Sure enough, there were only 32+- kids at the camp.  All good looking ball players.  HC reiterated the invite only status of the camp and thanked all for coming.  Skills and drills, with facilities tour in AM, with a game in afternoon of 16 vs 16, with many POs.  So lots of reps and exposure for everyone. 

Even after hearing them for many years, stories like this still surprises me.

13.12.1.3 Attendance Restriction. A member institution’s sports camp or clinic shall be open to any and
all entrants (limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender).

I haven't seen coaches get around this so much, as avoid it. The first camp my son went to was "open" to anyone, but the email invite left no doubt that it was highly personal, and when he walked up to register, it was clear they wanted him there. He got a big enthusiastic greeting and then the person at the desk was like "hey, coach smith, johnny jones is here!"

I don't know how they kept the other kids from coming, but it was a pretty restricted group of people.
