My son got a invite to one of the Dukes National mini camps what to expect?
It has a timeshare sales feel to it... The depth chart is a pretty good idea, IMO. Keeps kids hungry but can also frustrate kids at the same time. If your kid "makes the team" then hes on the depth chart. If he's below the travel line, he doesn't play in tournaments. They want your commitment to the program but don't give you the commitment that your kid will play. I am ok w it, some parents aren't. And there are some pissed parents whos kids were above travel line, went to tournament and then the kids got 4 shifts all weekend. These aren't bad players. Some of the best out there. Basically, your kid will make it as it will set up annuity business for them to collect $75 per minicamp. Not an exclusive team at all, for that reason. They always are adding players to the roster, never cutting anyone. Don't forget, you get to spend weekends with all those LI psychopath dads that we see at tourneys and we all loathe. And there are 14 year olds on the 22s.
