We received a letter and pamphlet, along with e-mail promoting this camp as well. It appears this is the first year running this camp (at least for the girls). They must have used GotSoccer or other club master list to market and promote the camp. It looks as though some good D1 schools should be represented (Harvard,Lafayette,Northwestern,Providence,Villano va..) Very good schools academically as well. I'm a little skeptical being that it is the first year, but that's just me. I would say if your kid is interested in any of those schools, it might be a good opportunity for the right kid. At this rate the kids may not be out of school by June 28th!

At the girls camp, the staff are all assistant coaches and one might look at this as a way for asst coaches to pick up some $$$ in the summer. On the other hand, one could argue that the assistant coaches do most of the recruiting so it MIGHT be a good opportunity if you're interested in one of these schools.

Thoughts?

Are you sending your kids to camp so that they may improve as a player or to be recruited? If you're doing for any reason other than to make them better players, save your money.
