[quote=Anonymous]My DD's experience was that they were hugely beneficial. She got on the radar of a few schools at a "money grab" where there were many kids (100+) and many coaches (15+) in the 9th grade. That one was more for experience of camp settings and it helped, but was clear that it was not where the interest would come from. She then narrowed her list to a set of schools that had majors she was interested in and she thought she could play at (she knew she would not make it soccer wise at UNC, Duke, UVA, etc.). She then hit those camps pretty hard and attended camps at her top 5 schools about 2-3 times each until she could tell which ones were really interested, had the right culture fit for her, etc. She build very strong relationships with the coaching staff at each of these 5 schools which resulted in them knowing her well, coming to watch her at showcases, etc. Eventually, she got offers from 3 of her top 5 and the other 2 she declared as not good fits for her. None of this would have likely happened without the school specific camps (40 or less field players, 4-5 keepers and just that school's coaches on the field watching and training with the kids).[/quote]
