Should I go to Showcases or Camps?

Coaches don’t discover players at showcases—they scout ones they already know. Consistent outreach keeps your athlete on their radar, so when they need a player, they’ll remember their name.

March 28, 2025

You’ve been told camps and showcases are the key to recruiting. But here’s what no one tells you:

✅ College coaches don’t attend to “discover” new players—they go to evaluate athletes they already know.
✅ Coaches only invest time and money in events where they have pre-identified talent.
✅ If your athlete isn’t on their list before the event, they’ll be overlooked.

That’s why so many families leave showcases frustrated—watching other athletes get attention while their kid goes unnoticed.

How to Get on a Coach’s List

If you want your athlete to be recruited, they need exposure before the event. That doesn’t mean sending one email the night before—it means weeks of consistent outreach to stay on the coach’s radar.

Staying Top of Mind is the Key

📌 Most of your emails won’t get a response—but that doesn’t mean they aren’t being read.
📌 Coaches receive hundreds of messages daily. Seeing your athlete’s name repeatedly makes them take notice.
📌 Recruiting isn’t about sending one perfect email. It’s about staying persistent and visible so when a coach needs a player, they already know who your athlete is.

The athletes who land offers aren’t always the most talented—they’re the ones who stayed on the coach’s radar long enough to get their shot.
