How do you determine whether an invitation to a prospect camp is real interest or just because you did well at a showcase?
If your club coach calls you and tells you that "Such and such College" coach called about you and wants you to go to their camp, then there is real interest. Otherwise, coaches get access to player email lists at tourneys and showcases and just send to everyone. Primary purpose of event is to supplement income, if it wasn't they would be free. Even if your club coach sends it to you, that's just his recommendation that you go, not interest from college.
Everybody's trying to make money from crazy parents trying to get their kids into a better college using lacrosse. When the media point person for lacrosse is a 24-year-old college dropout who is now pushing certain showcases you know things are completely out of control
Most of these events are a waste of money. Be careful. Speak to people who have been through it and been successful. There is a place for every kid and you don't have to spend your life savings
