[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i would love input on top recruiting camps for girls from parents who have been through this.  Our daughter is a rising freshman and a very strong club player who already attends a private that has a good team and she currently plays for the JV team over the winter.  We are looking at camps for this summer and are thinking about Elite 180, has anyone's daughter done this one?  I like their focus on the process and they claim to have a lot of individual attention but it would be great to hear feedback from families who have first hand knowledge.

If not Elite 180, what other camps have been good for your daughters? Maximum Exposure?  School-specific camps?

She is young but is already thinking she would prefer either NESCAC or Ivy for academics.  Her school sends girls to both so we just want to help her narrow her choices.  Thanks for any insight.[/quote]

I cannot help you on Elite 180, but can endorse the idea of trying to go to camp at specific schools (NESCACS, Ivys) that might be of interest down the road.  There is no substitute for somebody from the coaching staff seeing a player in person.  This summer and the two summers after freshman and sophomore years will both be opportunities to go to such camps.  As a general rule, the Ivies will tend to recruit earlier than NESCAC and other Division III schools.

Also, take the opportunity to make an appointment to go and meet with your private school's head coach in the off-season when things are slower to ask for advice.  College coaches still reach out to the high school coaches (as well as club coaches) and the head coach may be able to steer you to some programs either familiar with your private school and its players or can tell you from past feedback from families which on-campus camps have seemed most productive.[/quote]
