Attend the camp. There are many scouts/coaches in attendance. And in addition to the showcase environment, the players learn a lot about college baseball. The week in the dorms and playing at that facility while "hanging" with a couple hundred top players is invaluable.

I heard that in early March, the 3 or 7, some type of showcase, camp, clinic, is being held at Stanford University. Has anyone heard about this? Do you have to be recommended or invited?

I just sent my son's application to the Stanford camp off last week. Hope I wasn't too late. He is presently a soph and just finishing up basketball season. He thinks he has more of a future in baseball. Time will tell. My question, does the Stanford camp accept only a certain number of ss or do they lump the middle infielders together for acceptance purposes? I have heard great things about the camp and I know my son will learn a lot and have a very positive experience.Any info appreciated.

I signed up for a brochure on the stanford website and then sent it in last week. Is there any chance that they'll accept me or do you need to be invited to have any chance?

its my understanding that no ncaa program can have an invite only camp. lo and behold my son got invited to an ASU invite only camp.He was also invited to Stanford. Stanfords information included no reference to invite only . I'll get back to you when my info is solid. OR IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT CAN ANSWER IF INVITE ONLY IS ALLOWED? NO GUESSING! JUST THE FACTS!

bmx - Don't know for sure, but I would bet it is a good one. Here's what I know.

* Richie Price coached at Cal-Poly before KU and ran a camp very similar to Stanford's there. Was well attended by quality players and coaches.

* Coach Price is good friends with the Stanford coaches and participates himself in the Stanford Camp.

* My son's pitching coach played for Coach Price when he was a JC coach and calls him "the best coach he ever had." Coach Price is very well respected on the West Coast where he coached for years (JC and Cal Poly).

* I believe some of the Stanford coaches attended the Kansas Camp last year - not sure about that, but thats what I heard.

* KU is in the Big 12 - a well regarded baseball conference. Coach Price didn't leave California for nothing - he must believe he can do well there.

Hope that helps.

Sure wish I'd read this thread 6 months ago. My son was invited to the Stanford camp this summer. My wife and I discouraged it cause we couldn't see him playing on the west coast. ...hoping he'll stay in the south. ...had no idea so many schools participated there.

Our son received an invitation to the Stanford All Star Camp today. It is being held July 1-5. I've read the posts related to this camp and his application will be mailed tomorrow. It is costly- $675 for housing, meals, etc plus airfare, of course, but this sounds like a wonderful venue to get both terrific instruction and also show your skills.

We also received the brochure yesterday. Sent it back yesterday as well! Wink

It has been a two year process for us. Like many others, we tried to get in sophmore-Junior summer, but did not make it. Last year, Stanford had over 1200 applications for 240 - 250 spots.

We have also been to several of Coach Price's showcase/camps. (My '05 went to the summer allstar camp which is similar format to Stanford's. Both my '05 and '07 have been to KU's fall showcase) If you are unable to attend Stanford, then I would definitely recommend KU as a strong alternative. KU's camp is usually the first week in August, and like Stanford has a large number of other college coaches present and participating in the camp.

Anybody know how quick it fills up? Son got his brochure today, and we mailed a check back. Wonder since it's been a couple of weeks since the first invites went out if he even has a shot at getting in?

My son (05 RHP/SS) has set a goal of playing D I baseball. His HS coach has encouraged him and says this is a reasonable goal.

Last summer, in addition to playing Legion ball, he was recruited for a team to go to the Baseball America Junior Olympic Tournament in Tucson. The team didn't do well, but it was a GREAT experience for my son!

He also attended the Stanford Baseball Camp in July. He enjoyed that experience, too.

As a result of this exposure, he's received letters from several colleges (Notre Dame, Air Force Academy, University of Hawaii, University of Arizona and a few others). We know these are just letters at this piont and don't mean much, except that he (and hundreds of others!)is on their radar screen (but it IS exciting to see my son's name on Notre Dame stationery!! Big Grin). He has sent transcripts and his baseball schedule to several schools, so we hope someone will be "watching him" this season.

He's looking forward to going to the Stanford Camp again this summer. My question is, should he go back Stanford's camp or is there a benefit in attending a DIFFERENT camp? Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks, in advance, for your help!


that Notre Dame stationery is pretty nice...........my 2007 has 5 of those, and they get better each time.............did you get the "highly suggest you email" with it?

Good Luck, its kinda fun!!
