Who are camps actually for? Some online influencers will have you think camps are only for coaches to recruit throwers. That is 100% not the case. The majority of camps out there are all about education. Not about competition. Not about getting recruited. It’s about helping athletes become better throwers. The majority of the thousands of athletes I have helped over the past 20+ years doing these camps are all younger, beginner or intermediate level throwers, that are trying to get better and have more confidence at practice and at meets. PERIOD. DO SOME SCHOOLS HAVE CAMPS THAT ARE MEANT AS A VEHICLE TO RECRUIT ATHLETES? SURE. But that’s not normal. Camps are meant to help. They are meant to educate. Not recruit.
