My son is a 2016 graduate. He received a letter from an assistant baseball coach at a University.  This letter was sent to my son through the school guidance counselor at his high school.  The letter was requesting him to come to this camp coming up.  I went to the web site the letter referenced and they want a lot of money for a 1 day camp. My question is, are these mass mailing type letters looking for money? Or could there be possible interest there from the University? It looked official and it was written to him. Any advice would be appreciated.  We are new to this system.  And not sure what to do.   Thanks.

Try writing to the coach who sent it.    My money is on mass mailing.    My son just got a letter this way -- through the school guidance counselor. But they also sent an email.  Second school to invite him to the same camp.   Don't think they both keyed on him in particular.

I've noticed that if the letter talks more about the camp then your kid then its probably a mass letter/e-mail. It is hard to tell though when they say something like, "we saw you play this summer". Recently recieved one like that but my son said another kid he knows recieved the same one,  via guidence counselor, except the kid doesn't play on a travel team??

Thanks everyone! That's all great information!  I think this is a specific well written letter that is a mass mailer.  I am going to contact the coach and see if there is even a slot open in 2016 for my sons position. And the letter does say if you cannot make the camp please fill out a prospect questionnaire.  Ill fill out the questionnaire.  Thanks again everyone!
