I am sure these events can be a lot of fun for the kids and a week with a lot of reps when everyone else is over-eating, sleeping late, and playing video games is a definite advantage. I also appreciate the link to the Carolina Bowl. The cash outlay is incredibly steep for a middle schooler. In my opinion, the financial obligation determines that it’s really not an all-star game or event like what I understand the high school events. Instead these are the “all deep pockets” events where adults or organizations capitalize on the willingness of parents to over find the dreams they live through their kids. I think I’d rather invest in local training opportunities and get my kids in the weight room and out on the field with me. Local training bridges a larger timespan increasing skill retention.

I do appreciate the info provided here. This board seems to be knowledgeable on every level of high school football. Had no idea the dollar amounts were so steep.
Yeah aint nothing cheap lol
Did 7 years of tarvel baseball on several teams.thousands in.just ti watch mine to play one down of football and put the catchers gear and bat away.gotta laugh about it.

Gotta Laugh!! Very familiar with the baseball business. Navigating those sharks is worthy of a scholarship on its own. The thing I love about football is that it doesn’t consume every weekend the way baseball does. Scholarship money is better at every level. However, I’m not down for spending that kind of money on a week long “experience” when it’s really not “all-stars” playing. We have access to great coaching in our community for a whole lot less money. Camps and clinics in high school might be worth it.
Absolutely agree.
