  Running Winter Clinics and Camps  
We are running winter clinics for all ages and need to get email addresses for 10 and under, 12 and under, 14 and under, 16 and under and 18 and under. Any suggestions?

    I do a lot of email marketing in my real job and I can tell you that due to anti-spam laws it's illegal to borrow, buy, or rent a mailing list for the purpose you mention.

    There are only 2 legit solutions to your needs. #1 - you collect a voluntary opt-in mailing list from your website visitors and program participants. #2 - you get owners of relevant contact lists to send program info on your behalf. If you don't have a lot of email contacts, this would be your best short-term solution. IOW, you would persuade a youth softball organization, for example, to send out an email blast to their members in which they mention your camp and link to your site. Obviously they would need to be convinced that this would benefit them - but not too much, as it would be illegal for money to change hands.

    I'd also look at methods other than email. Where we live most elementary schools and middle schools are willing to add athletic program fliers to their weekly hand-outs.
