My 2012 went to the All-Star camp in July last summer. It is highly recommended! Over the years we went to several tourneys and showcases and put the Stanford experience at or near the top. The exposure to high quality schools from across the country is real. There are many schools there that are not formally listed too. See how your boy does against the other players Stanford attracts. Stanford has developed this camp, marketed their brand and keep it real for all those who attend. It is worth it if you can make it work. This camp generated much recruting activity for my son and he landed at a D1 that was in "unofficial" attendance. Having your grades and test scores in order and available to validate your potential to the coaches is important!
2013 son went to the Stanford Future Stars camp last summer and it was one of his best baseball experiences to date -- HIGHLY recommend the Stanford camps.
He is attending the Stanford All Star Camp in June -- do you suggest having an unofficial transcript with test scores to give to coaches who ask? I am interested in what type of verification your son gave on the spot.

Sent son last year with a few baseball "resumes"...he gave a couple to coaches who asked for grades, coaches' contact info, etc. Mostly they emailed later asking for transcripts.
Technically the coaches are not allowed to be in contact with the player(s), in a recruiting sense during the camp. Have the information, but don't worry about it too much. Enjoy the event, hustle, play hard, learn some new things, meet players and parents from all over the country and have fun. Follow up typically happens after the event.
How many players usually attend the stanford all star camp? Is it less crowded than headfirst?
I don't know about Headfirst, but belive it is much smaller than Stanford. Stanford has 350-400 kids on 24-26 teams. It is a large event, kids get lots of quality instruction, there are some lectures by Stotz, they stay in the dorms, it is really a great experience beyond just a place to be seen.
Has anybody received the package of information for the Stanford Camp yet? We are still waiting on pins and needles to find out what schools will attend.
2014Prospect you have a PM
BBfan95,
Thank you so much for the PM!
Thank you so much for the PM!
My son is also attending this year (All-Star starting 28 June) We have not yet received "the package" mentioned by 2014Prospect. Has anyone else? Thanks
My son received info package by email on April 7. Then on May 7 he got email that his camp file(forms and $) was complete and his place in the dorms was confirmed.
bballfan95- Thanks,...I checked with my son and he has that confirmation. I was curious if there is going to be any additional information, like the "list" that 2014 references above. Take Care
My son emailed Coach Stotz and asked for a list of coaches/colleges and he sent it. Helps to know ahead of time who is coming.
Can you share with us?

Web did the futures camp in 2010 and the all star last summer.
Great experience for him, staying in the dorms and meeting all the other players and coaches.
Because of finances this was the only camp that he was able to do. He graded well so he generated some interest, mostly from high academic D3's which is where I felt that he fit in best for his athletics/ academics.
He was planning wisits and talking to these coaches, trying to decide which schools to pursue, when a very high academic East Coast D1 not really known for baseball called based on his evaluations at Stanford camp and that is where he is enrolled for next fall.
We came up with a one page resume highlighting academics, contact information and some of his baseball achievements that he passed out to the coaches that he liked. Not sure if it helped but we thought the contact ifo was helpful.

Is anyone talking about the Second session, which is August 10 -12? It was added this year. It does not include the stay in the dorms.
My son couldn't do the 1st session since his team is in GA at the 18U. Looking for any input folks might have on the Stanford Aug 10-12. It is also a conflict wiht a PG NE top prospects we have already paid for so I hate to throw money away...
I'd love to PM anyone who has a son / had a son at Stanford.

Has anybody seen a schedule or a list of coaches for the upcoming Stanford Future Stars camp?
Mom- send a private message to Justbaseball if he doesn't chime in. His son graduated from Stanford.
Feel free to PM me. As CaBB says, our older son did play there.
Does anybody know if there will be a written evaluation available for those players who attended the Stanford Camp in June? We had heard from other parents that the player would receive an email shortly after the camp, but have not yet received the email. Thanks in advance for any information!
2014,
Yes, every player who attends receives a written evaluation. It can take up to 6 weeks.
Usually the evaluation is written by your Coach at the Camp but it will involve input from many other coaches who see and evaluate the players as part of the Camp staff.

Infield Dad, Thank you so much for the information!
Does anyone have a feel for the coaches expected to be in attendance at the next session (#2) of the All-Star camp (Aug 10-12)? The list posted here for session #1 was extremely accurate from what I could tell,...thanks
Can anyone give their opinion of Camp II. It is scheduled for mid July, 2013. Considering this instead of camp 1.

The Stanford coaches to a GREAT job for both those camps. I like the first one because though the price of the first camp is more expensive, it can be worth it given it provided room and board; then you also have more colleges represented and because of the higher number of participants the three games played are typically more competitive. The format to Camp II is the same, so I really don't think you'd be disappointed if Camp I won't work for you and you go to Camp II.

Do you have any idea how many fewer schools attend 2nd session?

Take a look at their comparison chart they made on their camp web site:
Stanford Comparison Chart
If you're not able to open this .elsx file . . .
It shows that they're expecting 45 colleges for Camp I and 30 for Camp II. . .which is 1/3 fewer.
Thanks Truman. It does make a difference, but camp smaller too so more exposure and play at sunken diamond.
This year the first Stanford Camp starts the day after the end of the USA Baseball U17 tournament in Arizona. I read the thread from a few years back on doing one or the other, or both, but didn't find anything on how much each pitcher is used at the Stanford camp. I gather they go 1-3 innings in a game. Do pitchers go more than one game at the camp? Also do they throw a bullpen as part of the instruction each day?
The timing of the first session of the Stanford Camp is better for us for a couple of reasons, but obviously not at the expense of an overused arm. I know a lot would depend on when he pitches in AZ and how long they win, but understanding the likely pitching load at the camp would help too. If it is just one game at the Stanford camp, is there any chance they would be flexible in scheduling it later in the session?
Looking for any experience, information or advice anyone can share. Thanks.

When my son was a two way player when he attended the Stanford Camp of 2009 and played a position most of the time. He pitches just 2 or 3 innings as I recall. Also, I noted at the time that they were very careful not to overuse any of the pitchers and the pitchers tended to pitch in at least 2 games if starters and some pitched in more games as relievers who may have only pitched an inning or so. I was impressed as to effort of ALL the coaches to take care of the players and give all of them an opportunity to show their stuff.
Thanks for the info Truman. It sounds like the camp could be a fair amount of arm work if the pitchers are throwing bullpens and pitching each day. Is that what others have experienced?
When is Stanford supposed to have the drawing for this year's All Star Camp?
My received an email from Coach Stotz this afternoon congratulating him on his selection for the All Camp June 30-July 3.He went last year to the 2014 Futures Camp and had a great time.This year should be even better.He's excited !
Good luck to your son 
We received nothing. Hope that is not bad news.
I'm sure your son will get in.I remember he went last year to the Future Stars Camp.I don't know how they actually go about running their "lotto", but everyone I know that has been to at least one of their previous camps has gotten in. In fact, one of my son's summer teammates went to the second All Star Camp last July on a one week notice.I was telling the boy's dad about how well run the Futures Camp was and what a great time my son had.I encouraged him to email Coach Stotz and see if there were any openings.Coach Stotz emailed him back that night with all the info and away they went. My guess is the first camp fills up faster than the second camp.
Noah got in. Invite sent to wrong email address. Looking forward to going back.
