My daughter and I were also there. Appreciate hearing Colorado’s take on it. Yeah, kinda lame that small sided games didn’t have goals set at both ends. Morning of day 2 sprinklers were dousing the main entry area. Would have been great to have a food truck pull up at lunch.
But all in all, the camp was focused, ran on time, players got exposure with all the coaches, experienced different drills and styles. They had refs out there for all the 11 v 11 games.
Athletic trainer was solid and kinda busy keeping players healthy.
Contrary to Colorado’s take, I was impressed by coaches post-scrimmage talks with the players and it seemed like coaches were focused when running drills. (I didn’t see anyone on their phones but only watching where my kid was so maybe just missed that.)
My kid has been to a few SM camps before so several coaches know her by name. She’s a 2022 so chances are good that the major programs are already done with 2022 and have moved on to 2023 and watching 24s…
Here’s my advice to younger players: go back again and again so the coaches get to know you.
Good luck out there.
