Why are all the summer athletics camps the same week?

The coaches try to find the best opportunity for a camp based on several factors including: high school team workouts, travel team schedules, and tournaments, as well as the summer schedule, summer school and vacations of the coaching staff.  There are several camps on different dates but there certainly is some overlap, especially for girls sports the week of June 4.  As they became aware of that, the coaches reviewed the conflicts and hoped that the time of the day would allow many of the girls to do more than one camp (based on age group).  In fact, a few parents have called the coaches and explained they might be a little late to a camp, but their children intended to do both.

Coaches will continue to be encouraged to communicate with each other when planning camps to minimize potential conflicts and maximize participation.
