stripes,
I've never been to a college camp, hence no "set" schedule.

How'er, two of my partners have been to both HS and College camps and both said the amount of instruction (apart from learning the college mechanics, which, as noted, may be taught at HS camps by college clinicians) and the amount of feedback and video taping of officials is greater at the HS camps. These partners do not need the HS camp to be successful in high school, but they need to pay the dues and homage for the college camp assignor that "suggests" they show up.

Combining those opinions with your opinions, and considering Dan_ref's experiences, I think it's pretty clear that any camp, any level is, only, what it is.

For my purposes, in accordance with my reponsibilities, my next camp will probably be HS again, and again I will glean my college level mechanics from my main man and from CCA books, so that I can hit the small college floor with some semblance of knowledge.

Mick--

Fair enough. I started going to college camps at the end of my 2nd year and didn't go to a HS camp until after my 4th year (I also went to a college camp that year). As far as I am concerned there is absolutely no comparison between what you get at the different camps. The college camps always cost much more, but I feel like I get more than my money's worth at these camps. About half the time I feel cheated at the HS camps because I walk away with very little instruction/feedback.

I also do not need the HS camps to be successful, but we are required to attend them to maintain our varsity status.

Maybe the quality of the camps depends on who is running it and what state it is located in, but I would go to almost any college camp before I would go to a HS camp.

Mark,
The exception noted in the manual for CCA Women is:

"There is no stop clock signal prior ro an out of bounds violation."

Would that mean that there is a stop clock signal after the violation occurs? ;)

You didn't hear the latest mechanics change? Officials are supposed to be telepathic - that way when we're accused of fixing games, we can say we're just appeasing the fates.

Here in New York State we use the NCAA Womans Rules for high school girls. The correct NCAA is on ball O.O.B you just the point direction. We don't raise our hand.
