The "all the eggs in one basket" camp question.

If my DD attended a national camp for field hockey last year as an incoming HS freshman, should she return to the same camp (offer extended) or seek a similar camp elsewhere? The first one was with an ivy and she would like to attend that school but is afraid of becoming enmeshed with one program.

If she wants to go to that school, I’d return to the camp.

Is there a reason she can’t do more camps? There may be (money, time) but if she can, do a couple.

I agree with the above statement. If she is set on the school and has committed support and her grades are equivalent to incoming class (very important) then attend the same camp.

Otherwise you may be better suited to have a few options (safeties) and attend other camps and push the communication with other coaches.
