Some General Notes from 2010 Camp:
  

Camper Behavior

It goes without saying each camper is expected to exhibit appropriate behavior during the camp. This includes being respectful to all coaches, listening and responding to directions, staying on schedule and in your group, keeping safety in mind, being friendly to other campers, and most of all, HUSTLING. We are on a very tight camp schedule. 

Parents

Parents are welcome to observe most all camp activity, but not required to stay (plenty of shopping opportunities just minutes away). At Coquille, there is a covered bleacher area that includes an area for lawn chairs. Parents are not allowed past the dugout gate area. At the Sandlot on Saturday, parents will not be allowed on the ground floor. There is an observation area upstairs where you can see the whole facility. On Sunday, parents will not be allowed in the Sandlot during the Cage Challenge. Parents, we are sorry for this, but with the campers and all the college coaches, we just can’t fit everyone in there.

The purpose of this camp is to provide the campers personal instruction time with the college coaching staff. While a parent might not think there is any harm in talking to a college coach for two minutes during or in-between sessions, please understand that if all 250 parents did the same thing, there would be no instructional time left for the campers. Please refrain from contacting the college coaches, or coaching your daughter from the stands. This is time for each girl to let her personality, skills, and ability shine for the coaches. If a coach comes out to the spectator area to ask for a parent, then of course that is OK, but please respect the coaches time.  

Direction to the Coquille Complex

13505 Highway 1085, Covington, LA 70433

Covington is located in-between Hammond and Slidell along I-12. Take the I-12 exit #57 (Goodbee), and head north for half a mile to the red-light. Take a right, and Coquille is just there on the left. The softball triplex is in the back on the left. The gym is located on the right as you enter on Sunday. No pets are allowed inside the field area at Coquille, and smoking is only allowed in areas that are marked with a sign.

Directions to Sandlot & Arena

610 Deer Cross Court East, Madisonville, LA 70447

When you pull out of the Coquille facility, turn right onto the highway, go though the red-light and continue on for .7 mile. Take a left onto Deer Cross Court. Go down to the end of that street, and Sandlot is just to the left, the St. Tammany Indoor Arena is next door to it.  

Player Profile

On Saturday, campers who want to bring a player profile can do so. Each coach will have a folder with their name on it. You can place a profile in whichever folder you wish. The folders will be given to the coaches Saturday afternoon. 

Saints Alert

Now for the most important information – a TV will be on hand outside at the Sandlot on Sunday with the Saints game!

We hope the combined effort of everyone involved with this camp provides each girl with an informative and productive weekend. When you return home, please feel free to pass along any comments or suggestions that might help us better plan and stage this event next year. If there is anything that we can help with to make your weekend more enjoyable, don’t hesitate to contact us. 

On behalf of the entire college coach camp staff, we sincerely thank you for choosing to be part of this camp and wish you a safe and Happy New Year.
