You know you can call these schools as a parent and they will come to your games for free. You don�t have to pay for this.

There are lots of D2 programs in the area all competing for players. These coaches (including DF) regularly attend area clubs games and practices and you don't have to pay anyone a fee. Write to them with your interest and schedule. Good Luck

If you are paying for an ID camp you are basically paying to apply for your kid to fill the bench spots at a D2/D3 school. If they really wanted you, they recruited you. If they didn't you pay the 75$ and hope they see you could serve as well-rounded cone for trainings.

I have sons and college soccer isn't a priority for us nor a likely possibility (at least at the scholarship level), but even I understand that you are completely wrong with how the process works. There may be the very select few that get actively recruited, but in the vast majority of cases your kid needs to recruit the school first before they get on a radar to be recruited. That's just the reality of it all. This isn't football or basketball.

This is absolutely 100% true even at the DI level but especially at the DII and DIII schools. Most of the DII and DIII schools don't even have much of a "recruiting budget." Those coaches sleep 3 to a hotel room and eat the Hampton Inn free breakfast.

Just look at the current roster for Eckerd College's Women's team. The players come from Georgia, N.Y., Mass., Philly, Nebraska, (+ a dozen from FL) do you really think DF "recruited" them. Their families recruited DF.

How did the college showcase workout? Did any FP players get some strong offers pffff. Maybe with all the money the club made off that **** show maybe you can refund those parents the money from the Colombia trip that your stealing from them. Bad business Thunder didn�t want to financially burden our one club one family.. So sad
