If I’m thinking of the right club you referred to earlier, your son can play soccer just fine. Where he ends up will likely be a function of a coach having a need for whatever he happens to bring to the pitch. There’s an inherent randomness to that situation that I can share as a fellow impatient person who’s probably more type A than is necessary. I have tried to remember that recruiting and player evaluation is terribly inefficient and challenging for all involved (not sure that helped my aura but I didn’t stroke out so…).
Ivy schools will be scouting/recruiting 10th and 11th graders now (spring season) and they’re on the same overall timeline as other D1 schools as they’re all competing for the same players.
Back to your original post: it sounds like a perhaps customized email used to get ID campers. And that’s all good. If the budget and time allows, he should go and see if he likes the coach, the school, the food, and being with other players who want to play college soccer. An Ivy coach emailed my son after a game last year inviting him to attend a camp. Apparently, every one of his teammates got one also, including the boys who hadn’t made the trip. With coaches now having figured out mail-merge, everyone’s email had their name in the salutation. The other team probably all got emails also! But every year at every school with a camp, some player ends up matriculating so it’s just what happens.
