Doyle has a camp at that time in Lakeland Florida at Tiger Town. My son will be working the camp as well as the Manager for the KC Royals and their Offensive Coach (who have been instructors there for 10+ years). Less chance of snow as well!
Unless it is indoors what is the purpose of attending an out of state winter camp with a very large chance of snow?
Better options for my 2016?
Not sure if just being an SEC school makes for a good camp. Maybe you will get a response from someone who has attended in the past.
Understand that the purpose of camp is to make money, some programs, large or small have great programs with great instruction.
What options does he need in the off season? Sign him up with a good summer program and attend a good showcase next season for an evaluation as to his talent level. Instruction with a good instructor usually works for many.
I am pro on saving your money unless
He is interested in the school. Just wanted to get a bit more personal with them, however the negative comment on twitter caught me by surprise.
Not one for camps or showcases, much rather play games. Although understand we need to do them a bit.
FWIW, if he's interested in going to MIzzou w/o baseball and you want to take a visit then by all means go and he can enjoy the experience but know the chances of being recruited are very small. If he's got legit talent and has been told by others he's a D1 SEC (etc) prospect go. If not, you may want to use your funds in a way that targets an school that's within his abilities. I don't know if advisors will be there over break to give tours and how many of the facilities are open so call in advance. Mizzou has a great campus. Regards
I'm not a big fan of indoor camps unless it's a follow up for school that had outdoor camp w games. Does this camp have cutoff number? If it's too large and indoors it's hard to really show. Pitchers and catchers may have an easier time of it. Have seen kids hit well in BP- inside and out but do nothing in real game. Guess they can look at hitting form,but unless this is only chance of being seen or it's #1 school I would not expect a lot out of it. If coach personally invited you-not basic email then I would send son. good luck in process, it's difficult deciding how to spend money and get bang for buck.
