Future 500 is the top camp because coaches watch scrimmages without coaching, letting talent show pure. Masters works for strong students in grades 8-10 to get on Division I and III radars early. By 10th grade, you can skip mass-ID camps and go straight to schools already interested.
Here are the best camps across the board for getting noticed. Number 1 is Future 500. The reason this one's the best is the coaches do not coach during the camp. When the coaches have to coach and they go, you're gonna learn from us, they can't really recruit you, right? They're focused on the drill, they're focused on players. Of course, they're still very capable of picking out which players are good and not good, but they don't just get to watch you. At Future 500, they don't do that. They just play scrimmages or short-sided games and they're just there to watch you. That's why Future 500 is one of the better camps. Next one I put on the list is Masters. Masters is specifically for top academic students, and I recommend this camp if you're in 8th to 10th grade. Once you hit junior year, I think this camp's kind of a waste of time, mainly being if you want to play for the Division I schools at the camp by junior year and you go to the camp, all the D1 schools are going to tell you are, hey, now I know who you are, what's your showcase schedule, and send us your video. Now, to be fair, that is better than where you were arguably before, so that camp could still very well be worth it for that exact reason. However, you just have to know that they're not gonna just recruit you and give you an offer. The D3s at that school, kinda in the same boat 'cause they're so good, but it does lift you up. Now, if you go as an 8th or 10th grader, that's amazing because then they know who you are. Then by 11th grade, instead of going to their Mass ID camp, you're going to the individual schools' camps of the schools that showed you the most interest at the Mass ID camp in 8th and 9th, 10th grade.
