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.


Yes correct. But also if they send it to your son (or you) directly or through the club coach the other key is if they open it up to your son BEFORE they open it to general public (which they have to).

Thats why at certain events (like some schools do with their prospect camps) the all star selections are selected privately BEFORE the camp even happens. Reason is, they have strong interest in the kid, have seen him play before and want to take a closer look at the player. Happens all the time.
