WHAT DOES A COLLEGE BASEBALL CAMP INVITATION MEAN?

Not every college baseball camp invite is the same. If you’ve received a camp invite from a coach you’ve been communicating with, that’s a great sign and likely means that you’re on that coach’s radar. However, if an invite you’ve received looks generic, you’re probably not on that coach’s radar yet. You’ll get the most out of camp if coaches know who you are, so make an effort to build a relationship with coaches ahead of time.

BEFORE YOU REGISTER

First, do your research on the school and program before you register for camp. Attending a camp is a great opportunity to improve your skills and get recruiting exposure, but the decision to do so should be based on your family’s budget. If you have received a camp invite to a college on your list and your family can afford it, you should consider attending. If you’re working with a tight budget, focus on your target schools or look at who else will be in attendance at the camp in question. If coaches from other colleges will be present, especially ones from schools you are considering, it might be worth stretching your budget to attend. However, if you can’t afford a camp, make sure to still respond to your invite.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR COLLEGE BASEBALL CAMP EXPERIENCE

Make the most of your camp experience by following a few simple tips:

• Be prompt. College coaches notice student-athletes who arrive late. 
• Bring all the essentials. You can check the camp’s website, as it typically outlines everything you should bring.
• Stay positive. College coaches look for recruits who are coachable, so they’ll evaluate your body language and attitude on and off the field. 
• Check out campus. Seeing a college campus in person can help you decide if it’s the right fit for you.

MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW UP AFTER THE CAMP

Maintaining communication with college coaches Is extremely important, so after camp, you’ll want to follow up with coaches and thank them for the opportunity. You can also ask them about which skills you need to improve. Afterward, whenever you have noteworthy updates to share, such as new video or verified stats, email them about your progress.
