Tracking volleyball camps & showcases

• Date, location, and event format (camp, ID camp, tournament, showcase).
• Confirmed coach staff list — and which of your target coaches will attend.
• Your court / pool / session schedule with times and jersey number.
• Pre-event email log: who you've notified you'll be there.
• Post-event notes: who you talked to, what they said, what's next.
• Any clips worth saving for your highlight reel.

Events fall into roughly three buckets:

• Programs' own ID camps — best for showing yourself to a specific staff you're targeting.
• Multi-program showcases / qualifiers — best for breadth when target coaches show up.
• Generic mass camps with no posted coach list — usually weakest ROI for recruiting.

A useful filter: would three or more coaches from your starred Top Schools actually be there? If not, the event is mostly training, not recruiting.

Send a short, specific note 1–2 weeks out:

• Confirm you'll be at the event.
• Give your jersey number, court/session schedule, and any times you stand out.
• Make one small, easy ask: a few minutes after pool play, or a quick handshake.
• Reattach (or relink) your 60–90 second highlight reel.

• Thank-you note: name a specific moment from the conversation or watch.
• What you took away (something they said about your game).
• Any clip from the event worth sharing (short — under 20 seconds).
• A specific next step: a video review, a future event, a campus visit window.

Pin events you're attending in the Showcases tracker (Pro), attach notes per event, and link follow-ups to each coach in the Pipeline. Reminders close the loop so the post-event email never lives only inside your head.
