What colleges offer showcase camps?

"Is the college I'm interested in holding a football camp this Spring or Summer?"

This website has a pretty thorough listing of all the "specialist welcome" camps at their universities. You may want to check it out.

I have nothing to do with it... but in case you're interested...

Please, check their links out.

I mean that as a bit of a warning. Kick-spot is fine.... it's just that many college football program camps are just money grabs. If it's legit, and if you already have some notoriety, they should want to invite you to come to their camp. However, if you're going to pay, figure out what you're paying for. Nothing wrong with asking staff more specifically about the camp.

Don't ask, "Will I get seen by college coaches?" (There will be, but that doesn't mean they'll be looking at you — the key is you want to 'know' that you'll get a fair opportunity to impress.)

Ask,...

"Should specialists come to your camp?"

"As a kicker, how many kicks am I going to get in front of recruiters?"

"Is it an instructional camp, or a showcase camp?"

"How many guys are likely to get offered at this camp?"

"Will (name the coach) be there on the field?"

If you get a shaky feeling about it, don't waste your money. If it seems legit and that you'll get a shot at showing your stuff (and you get to visit a university), then why not? Most aren't expensive, but anything is expensive if it's a waste of time.
