I read today that CIF SS limits two camps per player, per season. They have to be hosted by a college and college coach. You need the HS head coach, Athletic Director and CIF SS admin approval prior to attending. Does anyone know if all this is true?? What a pain. Why does San Diego have so much more restrictions than our other CIF counterparts?
It used to be worse - no ID camps with full-side games were allowed. If it weren't for rules, there would be no need for CIF.
