Elite & Prospect Camp Marketing

Running a great Elite or Prospect Camp is the easy part. Filling it—with the right players, at the right numbers—is where most staffs get stretched thin.

Athletes of Tomorrow offers a done-for-you camp marketing service that uses our national player database and systems to drive paying campers to your Elite and Prospect Camps. You focus on coaching and running the event; we focus on getting players in the gym.

Best of all, it’s built on a performance-based revenue-share model with no upfront cost. We only get paid on the campers we actually bring you.

Our Elite/Prospect Camp marketing is led by Brad Estes, son of longtime college coach Butch Estes.

Brad is a former college coach himself and has worked for Eddie Fogler and Dave Odom, so he understands exactly how college staffs think about camps, recruiting, time, and budgets. This is a coach-led service built for coaches, not a generic marketing agency.

If you already have camps in place:

• You keep running your camp exactly as you do now.
   
• We set up a separate registration platform just for the players we reach through our marketing.
   
• We use our player database and systems to drive sign-ups through our registration link only.
   
• You know exactly which campers came from us.
   

Revenue-share model:

• For the campers we generate through our registration link, we take an agreed percentage of the camp fee, and your program keeps the rest.
   
• There is no upfront fee, and we don’t touch the campers you’re already getting on your own—our work simply adds new paying campers on top of your existing numbers.

If you’re not currently running an Elite/Prospect Camp—or you don’t want to deal with the marketing and registration side:

• We help you set up the camp from the marketing side
   
• We handle promotion, outreach, and registrations
   
• We collect payments and manage the lists
   
• You receive:
   
  • The final rosters, and
     
  • The camp revenue (minus our agreed share)
     

All you have to do is staff and run the camp on the floor.
We handle the marketing, sign-ups, and organization off the floor.

Pricing for this full-service option is the same revenue-share model on the campers we generate, with the percentage set in advance based on your situation.

Our role is to bring qualified, camp-ready players to your door.
 

Typical components of our work include:

• Using our player, parent, and coach contact lists to reach the right grad years in your region
   
• Building and managing a dedicated online registration for the campers we generate
   
• Running targeted email and messaging campaigns to promote your Elite/Prospect Camp
   
• Sending reminders and follow-ups to maximize actual sign-ups
   
• Providing clean rosters to your staff ahead of camp
   
• Making it easy for parents and players to understand: when, where, cost, and how to register
   

You and your staff stay focused on coaching and running a high-quality camp experience—we handle the messy outreach and logistics behind getting players in the gym.

 We’ve helped run Elite/Prospect Camp marketing for programs such as:

• Florida Gulf Coast University
   
• Indiana State University
   
• Jacksonville University
   
• Saint Louis University
   
• Barry University
   
• Le Moyne College
   
• Bethel University
   
• Calumet College of St. Joseph
   
• Houghton University
   
• Southwestern College
   
• Trinity Christian College
   
• Young Harris College
   
• NOVA Southeastern University
   
• Goucher College
   
• Nichols College
   
• UMass Dartmouth
   
• Midwestern State University
   
• …and others.
   

Coaches who try this model have continued working with us year after year after seeing camp numbers and revenue grow.

• No upfront cost – We are paid as a percentage of the campers we actually bring in, agreed upon in advance.
   
• Works whether you already have a camp established or you’re just getting started.
   
• Adds new campers on top of what you’re already doing—not instead of.
   
• Run by someone who has been in your shoes (former college coach, deep family ties to the profession).
   
• Uses a real, built-out player/parent/coach database, not a random purchased list.
   
• Lets your staff stay focused on coaching and recruiting, not building email lists and chasing registrations.
   

You could spend thousands up front on contact data and run your own campaigns—or you can have us bring campers to you on a revenue-share basis with no check to cut up front.

On our Player Contact Lists page, we offer premium, one-time state lists priced to match the revenue schools can generate running their own outreach. These are great for staffs who want to do everything in-house.

Many programs, however, prefer to skip the upfront investment and let us use our database + systems to bring campers in on a performance-based revenue-share model instead.

If you’re unsure which route is best, we’re happy to talk it through with you.
