Just another dad’s perspective that is starting the process too:

I agree with the above poster, go to a college camp, not a Lundy style format. Go to a camp that is a serious possibility for your child.

If I could just add a couple things:

Before I shelled out the $500.00 to $600.00 to do the summer camp I would look to see if the college has a winter camp.

Not sure about boys????, but some girls teams have winter camps. If you are on the college’s radar already you will receive an email requesting the athlete’s appearance at the camp. For girls this starts their freshman, for some, sophomore and Junior years mostly. If you are not invited, you can find the winter camp on line. Sometimes the camps are hard to find. These camps normally run about $100 to $150 for a one or two day camp. Normally, have 15 to 50 players at them. Sometimes the biggest summer camps have hundreds of kids there, all trying to impress the same coach. Head Coaches run the entire winter sessions. Your child can go head to head against the kids they already like. Plus you can go to 3 camps for the cost of 1.


Good luck!
