Camp Help: TCU and Kansas State

If you are talking about Texas Christian University, yes, my son has been to several of their camps. (One in August and two in November.) They have way too many kids. It's just a money making deal for them. There are a good group of coaches who show up. Spend your money on Christmas skills camps and summer select ball.

so its not worth it in the end at TCU?If there are too many kids Id rather not go

Kansas State's camp is organized and run well. You will get a good workout from the coaching staff ( the head coach is very hands on ) and current players.
You will also receive a thorough evaluation that you can take to other schools as a recruiting reference.
As far as other schools being there, the only one we have known to attend was Garden City CC.

Kansas State camps are a good workout and usually filled with talented participants. They also usually have their " store " open after the camp. In the past, my son has bought slightly used bats, still in great condition for $25.

Another good Kansas camp is Wichita State. Be prepared to work.

awesome thanks SSmom.By workout do you mean there is no downtime?Ive been to camps where you sit for 30 minutes while others do drills,and then you jump in.Never have liked the on and off camps,always have liked the ones where its continuous

Continuous with little downtime, except to eat lunch for about 20-30 minutes.

Wichita State rotates players in small groups and the only down time that I can remember is a quick video.


Best of luck,....and let me know what you think if you attend!

If 200 plus kids is too many for you, then I wouldn't waste my time. That's what my son experienced. They just farm them in and farm them out there.

My son has been to two TCU camps. The first one was in November and had decent numbers and decent instruction. The second camp had WAY too many campers with no instruction at all. In addition, preference was given to just a few recruits, who were given more at bats, more time in the field, more time on the mound, etc.

If you're looking for outstanding instruction and exposure to a D1 and NAIA school, consider Dallas Baptist University's camp. Several people on the Texas forum say it's the best camp for instruction that they've ever encountered. They also mentioned that the coaches put just as much effort into helping non-prospects as they do potential recruits. I think their showcase camp is the first week in August.

Awesome thanks.Im going to the Kansas State Camp,but not the TCU.Not sure if we will be able to afford going to another camp right after k-state,but Ill look into dallas baptist.

In your area, my son had a good experience at the Kansas camp too. Lots of other schools there, lots of games and instruction etc. There are a lot of campers, but you are there 5 days so lots of opportunity for everyone.
