NFCA Pennsbury Academic Recruiting Camp

[exD1dad]

DD got accepted to the Academic Camp today & the kid is stoked We jumped on the first team to offer her a spot to play & despite it not being her favorite position, at least she's on a team & will play. The coach has been going for 15 years & has said a lot of nice things about both the camps & the tourney which is really geared for exposure. She'll take an unofficial to Princeton (after the camp & before the tourney) as that is her 1st choice. Now if she keeps hitting @ HS as she's moved up the list for her CIF District & now sits in the top 50 only 2 spots behind Uno's oldest DD (that well known power hitting studdette) she'll have some nice stats to show off as well.

See yah there ex D1.

We received the email today as well. DD is also signed up for pick-up, but I just did that last week when she received her summer schedule. Someone will grab her to play OF.

Hey 3'sDad the Chicago area coach who picked up my DD diplomatically stated the pick up list was not filled with strong player so wishing your DD good luck in finding a team for the tourney

See ya in June!

[3'sDad]

thx Ex....she'll get picked up; coaches all scramble at the last minute when someone gets hurt. If she doesn't, they all get to see her on Wednesday & Thursday (for her other position) & then it's an off weekend.

3's Dad:

Thanks for encouraging my 2016 to apply for Pennsbury Academic Recruiting Camp on another softball forum. She waited until last Friday to apply and she was accepted today. You may recall her...the 2016 who refused to prep for the SAT.

Cranky: I'm certainly glad this worked out for your family. The event is 1st rate, well run and worth the time and money, even if the DD ultimately decides she doesn't want to play at the next level.

Better to see what she can face playing at the next level at the kind of schools she's interested in attending.

If you're there for the weekend, you can go watch the regular recruiting camp pitching try-outs the next day if DD isn't registered to do that camp. DD did outfield at the regular camp lasy year and there is some overlap so I had the chance to watch the kids pitching - I've never seen so many tall blond girls in one place - the skill level was pretty high.

I hope we get the opportunity to see one another in a few weeks.
