Everyday son received this invite below directly from the head coach of a big ten school. Doesn't necassarily look very personal, however it states "you are invited to be a member of this team"
I've scratched out the school name for confidentiality reasons.
We/son returned a response asking some personal questions regarding trying to distinguish this invite versus others. He received a assistant's response that was pretty vague and did not address specific questions of where the exposure, and or referral came from.
btw - Until this email we have had no contact with this school.
Will call the number provided if you guys think it may be justifiable.
Does anyone have any experiance regarding this trip?
I am the head baseball coach at the ??. I am emailing about a unique opportunity that is available this summer. For the second year in a row, I am putting together a team of 15 high school baseball players (2014, 2015 and 2016 grads) to go to the Dominican Republic for a week. The dates of the trip are July 19-25, 2014. You are invited to be a member of this team.
This trip is unique in that you will have the chance to work with a small group of players, Dominican coaches and a Division I baseball coach for the week improving your baseball skills. We will have regular workouts with Dominican players and play a series of games during the week. There will be tours, college guest coach lectures and the beach. In addition, you will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the Dominican Republic - the world's most dynamic nation in terms of baseball (the Dominican currently puts more players in MLB, per capita, than any nation including the U.S.) We will tour and play at one of the MLB Dominican Academies during the trip.
It is a very good opportunity if you have an interest in playing college baseball.
