Wizards Softball is proud to announce that we will be hosting a National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) recruiting camp.  This is one of only 5 NFCA Administered recruiting camps in the United States.

2008 camp date is June 19, 2008.  Athlete applications and payments are due by June 1, 2008.  You can access applications at the NFCA link below. 

Every aspect, from the application and selection process to on-field administration, is handled by the NFCA staff. Please visit the NFCA web site for more information on registration and cost at www.nfca.org/camps.

Frequently asked questions...

How much does it cost to attend a recruiting camp?
If accepted, the camp fee is $100 for one session and $75 for an additional session. Please note that payment should not be sent until the acceptance letter is received.

What is the camp schedule?
All NFCA administered camps will follow the same schedule:

Outfielders/Catchers - 8:30 a.m.-11:25 a.m.
Pitchers - 11:30 a.m. - 2:25 p.m.
Infielders - 2:25 p.m. - 5:20 p.m.

All registered participants should report for on-site registration at least one hour prior to their scheduled session. On-site registration will consist of checking in, receiving the camp packet that includes the camp t-shirt, the participant numbers for the front and back of the travel ball jersey and the colored band designating the campers' graduation year. Camp walk-ups are considered 30 minutes prior to each session. Accepted athletes should be registered prior to these times or face potential camp cancellation.

At the end of each session, the NFCA hosts a student-athlete talk and a parent information session. These sessions are designed to give the student-athletes and their parents as much information as possible about the recruiting process.

 

What are the differences between an endorsed and administered camp?
In an administered camp, every aspect, from the application and selection process to on-field administration, is handled by the NFCA staff. The NFCA does not, however, administer the tournaments related to the recruiting camps.

What if it rains on the day of the camp?
If a camp must be cancelled because of inclement weather, a $40 refund will be given by August 1 to all campers who attended the camp. The NFCA Camps and Clinics Committee has determined that an indoor site, in case of inclement weather, is not feasible because of logistical, safety and coaching participation concerns.
 

Will I receive instruction at the camp?
No. This is a time to show coaches what you can do. College coaches watch athletes perform skills and evaluate their talent. They will watch them further in actual games to decide if the athlete fits their recruiting scheme.

I’m interested in attending an NFCA recruiting camp. How do I apply?
Prospective campers for both administered and endorsed camps should complete the online application form on the NFCA web site. Once you complete the form, you will receive an e-mail confirmation that your application was received. You will have the chance to print your application for your records after you submit the form.

How do I know if I’ve been accepted to the camp?
After the specified camp deadline, all applicants will be notified. Campers selected for the camp will receive a letter of acceptance, payment form and additional information. The $80 camp payment is due at this time. Student-athletes will be placed in the session that reflects their primary position, which will be indicated on the application form.
