CONNECT CHICAGO 2024 will be hosted at Orland Park, IL

July 10th, 2024

A new camp exposure experience that CONNECTS the serious softball athlete with many college softball coaches all at one place, in one event.

This event will only happen 1-2 times a year with this expansive roster of schools from across the nation.

Come work with us to get the most out if your camp experience and get CONNECTED!

These camps, like all Diamond Direction events are created with the camper in mind.

We want you to get the most out of your experience with recruiting and showcasing your skills.

We want you to learn AND get as many opportunities as possible to interact with colleges to grow in your game development.

Due to the size of this event, we will only host 1-2 locations per year in different regions so we can help the serious softball athlete CONNECT with many schools in one day.

This is a college cooperative event in which division 1 colleges and universities from all over the nation representing DI are registering to help identify talent, teach and recruit athletes like YOU in ONE event. This is a one stop shop for you to learn more about how coaches teach, what you are looking for, what you can improve in, and what style of play Colleges like to recruit and the skills they value in the recruiting process. We launched it last year, and the response was incredible. We cannot wait to CONNECT with more athletes this summer wanting a unique recruiting experience where they can choose the camps and sessions they attend with so many programs in one day.
