My son went to the one-day camp at Yale over Thanksgiving weekend. As @Midwestmomofboys notes, going in relatively “cold” probably isn’t advisable, especially if you’re budgeting time/money because it would be a long shot.

My son was a junior at the time and captained/started for a non-MLS DA club so we had some notion that he might have some technical abilities. The camp had maybe 80-100 boys there. In his coach eval I’m 99% certain the coach mixed up my son with the only other player who had a similar ethnicity but a very different playing style. Really rather disappointing from Yale, and if I thought anyone there would care, I would have provided that feedback. It was like, dude, they have numbered pinnies for a reason.

On the plus side, a HC from a NESCAC reached out, and began to actively recruit my son. Stellar coach, nothing but positives from him.
