[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with most of the statements above. This is because when you attend an ID Camp at a younger age players also have the benefit of test-driving not only the soccer program and coaching style, but also the actual school. If a kid is smart about it, they also do a campus tour, meet with admissions, and find out if it is the type of school to be the right fit academically and in terms of campus vibe. Any school they end up attending needs to pass a broken leg test- so it doesn’t hurt to spend the hundred bucks for the ID Camp and treat it like a regular campus visit with the camp as a bonus.[/quote]

So much changes between 14 and 17. What would a 14 year old who hasn’t even started high school get out of meeting with admissions? They might become a fan of the schools brand but there is no way they can assess the campus vibe and have it still be applicable for them when they are older. It’s fine if you treat it as a way to experience a new place, like a trip to a new city or a hike. But it’s not going to inform their college decisions and may actually set them up for disappointment by falling in love with the wrong school[/quote]
