[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]

For girls, the club team and the summer tournaments really matter the most.  If she doesn't go to SSSAS, your school may not be that helpful even if they want to be.  The women's coaches at Potomac (UVA) and Holton (UCONN) do have good contacts, also the coaches at Holy Child, Sidwell, Holy Cross and NCS can help a little.  Vise's coach is newly hired this season so will have her plate full.

Does your daughter play for Capital?  Did she come from Stars?  If so, those clubs both know everything about the recruiting process and should be your main resource.  They get their players recruited reliably.  Capital has seminars and lots of resources for you and her.  If you play for another club you will have to do a lot more work.

For this summer, she should be attending college camps, specifically the ones she wants to attend.  Only a few school have the dates and registrations up:  UNC, UMD, Georgetown and Brown.  Georgetown has a Spring clinic and Brown has a Spring prospect camp.  These are good.  Most of the Ivys and NESCAC don't yet but go to their websites.  Also, all the Ivys have forms on line you can fill out to express your interest and get on their mailing lists for camps and clinics.

You should also sign her up for the Brine regional summer teams tryouts (if she makes it there are games and a camp) and apply her to the UnderArmour 150.  Girls who make the cut definetly get recruited from those.   Don't compare it to the boys recruiting and showcase world.  It is different, small, cleaner, less bs.
