Just curious the reaction you would get from AFT, if while they were holding a clinic someone just so happened to show up and hand out flyers for a different clinic while AFT clinic was going on??

[heretostay]

It wasn't AFT passing out flyers it was Sota's firecracker group doing it for their own camp.

They need to appologize to On Deck for being such smucks.

[HIT & RUN]

There is only one way to fix all this.
1. All college coaches must sign a contract with OnDeck only. So they own all rights to Recruiting Combines as well as the rights to each player. This must be signed in blood along with a special hand shake and notarized on the spot.
2. All showcase tourneys must also have a contract signed by each college coach. The contract must state that at no time are they allowed to attend any other recruiting event and they relinquish all other human rights during the time of the event. Rights will be handed back when they are at the airport.
3. At no time will anyone be allowed to pass out a flier, advertise on the internet, send emails, text message, make phone calls, or speak of these events. Information must be sent by using the authorized hand signals or telepathy.
4. Once 1, 2 & 3 have been put into place NCAA must establish a secret police with cool gadgets and ninja reflexes to oversee the process. Anyone found in violation will receive a 1000 lashings with a wet noodle and exiled to a 3rd world country.
5. Last but not least. Parents will be given gas cards for weekend travel and all events recruiting related will all be free of charge.

and this comes from a very experienced 12U or 14U dad, now shut up stupid and get out of here

not one thing u said was even close to being funny

I think if AFT is holding a camp at a D-1 school in violation of NCAA rules. Holding a camp run by a business on a D-1 field is a no no.

This camp coming up is the second camp that could be in violation, AFT already held another camp at Fullerton possibly putting all the coaches that attended in Violation of NCAA rules and possibly the players as well

AFT you might want to see if what you are doing is legal with the NCAA.

Does anyone know the rules?

Surf City
Balanco and Sota are both running camps against your showcases, grow some balls and remove them from all surf city events. When all the teams are paying $800+ for your events and they are taking the scouts away you need to prove its about the girls and not just about money and do something about it !!! If they don't do something about it lets all go with Blanco and Sota and screw surf city. Step up or step out

Am I missing the link to the news story, that describes when all these College coaches/scouts were abducted and forced to attend an AFT camp?

[Informal]

When you wonder why kids now a days are getting worse and worse you can look at the way parents raise them and see what the problem is.

Hey informal just because they weren't held at gun point makes what they did okay?

Have a guy sneak around someone else camp who he is freinds with and pass out flyers, that's okay with you?

Their is no law but the lack of morals is what they and you are missing

My post didn't even address the "flyer handout" .. so, go ahead and reread the entire thread, then reevaluate your response to my post.

Ok. The OnDeck camp hosts to 70 to 100 or so athletes filled with players from So Cal, Nor Cal, Arizona, Texas, and other states. They host 7 camps a year in the US. There is no question that those camps aren't the best. The problem I see is that in So Cal you have probly 100-250 solid players that are very marketable. What do they do? The camp, clinic, or workout is a better format for girls to get seen as well as for coaches to shop. All 4 events had a nice draw of talent & coaches from what I hear. Mt. Sac had probly the better all round talent but the 3 other camps got about 150-200 other girls seen. I heard some of those girls were absolutely amazing and are already seening offers. Great for those girls & families

There's not going be any business taken. OnDeck was invitation only for specific players & coaches- NFCA camp was hosted for any players who signed up- AFT camp was for players in the program- 5 Star was for any player they felt was very marketable. All came at a price but the Mt Sac camp had 1st choice on the athletes. The 3 other camps did it with girls who were not invited to that camp.

Showcase formats have no gaurantees? I've seen a kid get walked or HBP 4 times, A shortstop with only 1 ball hit to her, playing on a field in the middle of nowhere at 8 o'clock at night, when coaches were in town. It's tough for a coach to scout kids all over the OC and still you might not get to see her at her best. They should have more invitationals and limit the teams. jmo

I do agree with Spaz. There has been alot of teams, sites, coaches, instructors and organizations out there selling a very bad product. I feel for the kids & families that suffer the concequences. I know exactly how it feels and that sucks. The great thing about a workout or camp is your kid gets to sell herself.

Translations...

Rico = rich
Blanco = white
Sota = jack, in cards, or jack in English can mean money

So together you get "Rich white money"

Coincidence?
