As parents of serious young soccer players, we know how important camp selection is for the college-minded player. Of course not. By the end of camp, both you and the coach will know if his college should be in your future. If it's just not a good fit, ask him to suggest other colleges and act as your reference. Camps are important to college coaches.
Competitive players make the camp a success, elevate the level of play, and challenge other players.
They stimulate the coaching staff, too. Everyone learns more and has more fun. This is a huge bonus for both in the recruiting process. Soccer resumes and cover letters are important to establish yourself as interested in attending his school. Unfortunately, there are a lot of good players writing bad soccer resumes and hurting their own chances.
