You gotta play to win, and if you want to go to a school in another region, you have to make yourself known to those schools/coaches. Yes they are money makers for the coaches, but they should also be good instruction for the athletes, getting to know the schools and the coaches in another region, and often (not always) playing with other really good athletes.

Duke hosts big camps for women’s lacrosse (BIG big) with hundreds of girls attending over the summer. About 10 are going to be recruited to Duke in any year, but coaches from Elon, UNC, NC State, High Point and all the D2 schools in the south are at those camps too. Some of the schools near the big summer tournaments (held in Midlothian VA, one in PA, one in New England) hold camps the week before the tournament knowing that many players will be traveling to the area for the tournaments. I’ve seen lists of 50 coaches who will be at the camps over the 3 days. It’s exposure.
