Many of the coaches working the camps use this time as a recruiting tool, and a chance to see athletes they otherwise would not have a chance to work with. Baseball season is in conflict with high school baseball seasons. These camps are an integral part of recruitment for us. There are several different people that assist in instructing the camps held during the summer. Camp instructors are not limited to OSU coaches and players.
Advertising plays a huge role in attracting campers.
The advertising done for the camps varies depending on the particular sport that the camp is focusing on. We also did some advertising on the Internet. Some of the camps rely on word of mouth to attract campers to their sessions. The bulk of our campers are former campers or those that heard about our camp through other people. I also have some connections with businesses that offer softball lessons.
