My 09/2027 daughter went to an ID camp in Cincinnati last weekend run by CCSC(College Coaches Showcase Camp) primarily as a way to get in front of a school she really likes. We got an email from them last night and I'm hoping someone on here has experience with this organization and can tell us that the email is legit OR all 200 kids at the camp got this same email and they're hoping we pony up the $699... Here's the body of the email, any guidance would be greatly apprecitated. My gut feeling is it was a cut/paste sent to every camper, definitely feels salesy with the urgency factor, but if it's genuine it might be a good opportunity for her: Congratulations! I am following up to notify you that you have been selected to attend the Women's College Soccer Prospects National Showcase in DeLand, Florida (right outside of Orlando) on the campus of Stetson University this winter (MLK weekend) from January 16th - January 18th. You are being invited to attend due to your evaluation throughout the College Coaches Showcase Camp held in Cincinnati, OH last weekend. Only selected players recommended by coaches who attended the showcase this past weekend are invited to this national showcase. You are being invited to participate in this national event as a midfielder. The midfielder position will be one of the first to fill for this national event. With only 6 from the SOUTH region accepted, if it's something you are interested in then you may want to talk it over with your family. If you prefer to participate in a different position, please let us know. The website for this event is https://www.collegesoccerprospectsnational.com/. Your CCSC National experience will have you taking the field at Stetson University alongside some of the best players from our regional showcases from across the country. You will have a training session with our staff of college coaches and play in 3 games as you represent the SOUTH region team.

Winter showcases matter more than most families realize.Coaches are finalizing their boards, evaluating the next recruiting class, and checking on players they’ve already flagged. And unlike fall tournaments where teams are chasing results, winter showcases are purely recruiting environments. They exist for visibility, evaluation, and opportunity. Here’s how to get the most out of them. ❄️ 1. Understand the Mindset of College Coaches in Winter Winter is different because: - Coaches aren’t evaluating for “best team” they’re evaluating for “best fit.” - They want to see consistency, decision-making and how a player impacts the rhythm of play. - They’re tracking players they’ve already seen and cross-checking notes. - They are not chasing goals, flashy moves, or hype clips. Coaches will tell you this directly: “I’m looking for players who make the game easier for teammates.” That should guide how players prepare and play. ⚽ 2. Showcase Tip for Players: Simplicity Wins Winter events aren’t the time to reinvent your game.They reward players who: - make clean, quick decisions - adjust quickly to surfaces and weather - communicate constantly - stay mentally sharp - show work rate even when possessions don’t go their way A college coach can spot real soccer IQ faster than anything else. 📝 3. Email Before the Showcase (Parents: This Matters) Players should send short, clean emails to coaches at least 4–5 days before a showcase. Include: - name, grad year, position - jersey number - showcase name, game schedule - 10–15 second clip (optional but helpful) - why the school is a good fit NO spam blasts.NO “Dear Coach” templates.NO 10-paragraph resumes. Keep it simple and personal. 🎥 4. Create a Simple “Winter Highlight Pack” Coaches don’t need a full highlight reel.A 45–60 second mini clip with: - ball-winning moments - clean first touches - combination play - defensive recovery - switches - smart movement off-ball
