Wondering if any can share experience / feedback on the Future 500 ID camps, such as here: https://future500idcamp.com/event/philadelphia-boys-soccer-camp/
The ones on this page are in Philly and Boston. It'd be nice to go to one camp, and get seen by a bunch of schools in a region one is targeting. (of course, understood that emails, highlight reels, etc are all still necessary.) Much thanks in advance for sincere thoughts. No trolling please. |

If your kid is a freshman or sophmore (male) or a 8th grade or freshman (female) these can be a good experience to get comfortable with ID camps and meet a few coaches (typically assistant coaches--though sometimes head coaches). While there are multiple colleges there--your kid is assigned to one coach primarily-and perhaps does some drills or games in front of different coaches. But trust me, they are not getting evaluted by all of the head coaches equally. It's the luck of the draw who you are assigned as your main coach (because that is who you form the strongest connection with because they become your coach for the session). These coaches use these camps as a side hustle While it seems attractive that there are multiple colleges in one spot, it's not really going to help you in the recruiting process for multiple schools--it can provide some solid introductions and maybe a connection wiht your assigned coach. If your kid is the top 1% maybe he will catch the eye of multiple coaches. Maybe. But to really to impact recruiting you have to go to a college's individual ID camp. My player is high level competitive and heavy in the recruiting process for both D3 and D1. We only did 1 multi school camp like this. All the rest were at specific schools (and usually those college camps they do have a few coaches show up from surrounding schools). HTH. |
