- Purpose: Confirm your camp attendance, express excitement, and start building a stronger connection with the coaching staff.
- Don’t just say “I signed up”—make it count.
- Show energy, personality, and genuine interest in their program.
EMAIL OUTLINE
1. Start With a Genuine Moment of Excitement
Open with something that captures your enthusiasm—skip the generic “Hi Coach, I registered.”
Examples:
“I’ve been counting down the days—I just signed up for your camp and can’t wait!”
“I’m officially registered for your summer camp and already looking forward to competing on your court.”
“Just saw the camp email and didn’t hesitate—I’m in!”
2. Confirm the Details
Be clear about the camp name and date so it’s easy for the coach to keep track.
Examples:
“I’ll be there for the June 15th Elite ID Camp.”
“Registered for the July 10th session—can’t wait to learn and compete.”
3. Share Why You’re Excited About This Program
Make it personal—why this camp matters to you or what you’re looking forward to.
Examples:
“I’ve been following your program for a while, and getting a chance to learn from your staff is a huge opportunity for me.”
“The energy your team brings is something I really admire—pumped to experience that up close.”
“I’m excited to push myself in a competitive environment and learn what it takes at your level.”
4. Drop a Video Link (Optional but Powerful)
Give them something to watch before the camp.
Examples:
“Here’s my current highlight video if you’d like to check it out before camp: [link]”
“I recently updated my Hudl with new footage—hope it gives you a sense of how I play.”
5. Close With Gratitude and Confidence
End on a friendly, professional note—no need to ask for a meeting.
Examples:
“Thanks again for the invite—can’t wait to bring my best to camp!”
“Looking forward to meeting you and being part of the experience!”
