Q. Will there be any college coaches at camp? A: YES! KS#1 is an NCAA certified camp. Division I college coaches are only allowed to attend camps that are certified by the NCAA. Division II and Division III coaches will also attend. In addition to many college coaches, there will be several scouting services at camp. During your time at camp, you will be given a questionaire to complete with more detailed information (SAT scores, statistics, etc) that will be made available to the college scouts. You will also be issued a numbered, reversible competition jersey, which will make it easier for college coaches and scouting services to identify and evaluate the players at KS#1.
