im a senior now and have signed with a college for that nov 15 deadline or whatever but yea i love going to the recruiting camps cuz i meet lots of people and all we do is play games but part of signing is you cannot talk to other coaches anymore which i dont care about but do any of you guys think i cud get away going to like top star or a non invite recruiting camp and not get in trouble with my new coach or school or does anyone have any ideas or should i just give up on camps
o yea my friend suggested a fake name but i doubt that would work

Wait so you basically want to go to hang out with people and chill with other players? I'm just trying to see what you're asking.

I've heard this is one of the things you begin to miss once the recruiting process is over. Personally, I'm like you. I loved the recruiting camps, or any camps/tourneys for that matter. So much fun meeting new people and having a great weekend together. I think most camps place and age on them though, so I would suggest going to your school's camp (I know a lot of coaches actually require it when you're going to be an incoming frosh) or maybe try to be a camp instructor at a local camp or something.
I'm going to end up at my school's camp this summer and hopfully I'll help out with a local club or something so I can still chill at the tourneys and maybe play a little.

Well find out what camp your interested in and then get in touch with your new coach. If you let him know exactly what your doing and why your doing it he more than likely won't have a problem with it. But, definitely let him know what you plan on doing. Besides the worst that can happen is he says no and you keep your scholarship as opposed to doing it behind your coaches back and starting off on a bad foot with your new coach or even loosing your scholarship. To sum it up just call your coach! Haha.....And just out of interest where did you get recruited to?

Honestly, why would you want to do this?
These summer camps & tournaments are for players who do not yet have an opportunity. You would be taking away from a player that needs looks! Not to mention that a coach could waste his time looking at you thinking that your were available to be recruited.
Many tournaments have even begun excluding seniors for this very reason.

Plus you should be looking to step up your game a little to get ready for a higher level of play. YOu should look at Vail or other similar tournaments that are specifically for older players.
