PROVO, Utah (Feb. 17, 2010) -- Online registration for the BYU soccer camps will be available starting Wednesday, February 24 at 9 a.m. MT. The camps run four days each and begin June 7 and end July 29.
"It's a big part of our recruiting process," said head coach, Chris Watkins. "I think all but now three players on our roster were identified in camp and we offered them at camp. We put a lot of effort into it. From a player's perspective it's their summer job so it's a lot of fun too. There are so many people interested in coming to BYU that it makes it impossible to see everyone. I think it's good that they spend some time on campus and see the coaches in person for an extended period before they make such an important decision in regards to college."
