How does everybody handle the situation where you kid plays basketball, but wants to go to a softball camp. The easiest answer is to quit basketball, but that is not an option, they are only in high school once and she wants to play.

Check out the college websites. There are a lot of schools that have cmaps on Sundays

Its a tough choice sometimes that kids have to make. Good luck.

DD is doing several Saturday morning/afternoon camps then rushing back for evening bball game. She is also doing a camp every Sunday in January.

You have to squeeze it into the little bit of free time you have. Sunday's are good times to go to camps. It is absolutely possible to do both....tough, but possible.

I don?t think a choice needs to be made. If she really wants to play both then she will find a way to make it work. As other people have posted there are thing she can do, go to camps on Sunday, or running and doing softball in the morning and basketball at night. I am willing to bet the majority of college athletes were multi-sport athletes. They just had decided what sport was primary and work their butts off.

I agree but sometimes choices need made. What if your DD is a pitcher with a chance to pitch in college. She has been selected to play in Queen of Diamonds, but there is a 11 am basketball practice and she is a varsity player, or she has a 11 am game that same morning she is scheduled to pitch. My DD had this situation, and I let her make her own choice. Camps on Sunday were always nice.

Again, many camps on Sundays. Stuff like QOD - have to make a choice - in our school that means attend and sit out two more games. Fall and winter I would do Sunday stuff. Now my dd is part of a school that if wanted to play bb and volleyball - you have to play club too so I made her make a choice - one that you want to take a shot at college and one that is just her fun sport for hs.

My dd is in this EXACT situation. She will be at the Kent State camp and the Queen of Diamonds. She will have to run suicides for bball, and probably sit the entire half of the next basketball game. Softball is her first choice sport, so she will do softball over basketball. That is her choice and one that unfortunately has to be made at her age.

Thanks, where do you find out about all of the Sunday camps, I might have to wait a month, she just tore her meniscus. So hopefully she can get back quickly and start pitching again.

The best camps would be the ones hosted by schools that she is interested in attending. Go the their websites. Not much use in going to a camp at a school that she would not like to attend unless they have other coaches coming in as well.
