2026 College ID Camp #2

Cal Poly's 2026 College ID Camp #2 is a two-day, day-only men's Division 1 ID camp held May 9–10 in San Luis Obispo. The camp runs participants through position-specific training, technical work, small-sided games, and full-sided matches at a collegiate level. The cost is $275 for both days.

This camp is designed for high school-age male soccer players exploring D1 fit, particularly those with genuine interest in Cal Poly's Big West program. The mid-tier program status and selective academic profile suggest the camp draws a mix of recruits—some with realistic D1 ambitions at this level, others testing their D1 readiness. No specific age or class-year bounds are listed, so families should clarify whether underclassmen are welcome or if the camp targets juniors and seniors more directly. The day-only format means less informal coach contact than an overnight camp would provide.

One important note: the head coach does not attend this camp. That means evaluation, if it happens, will be conducted by assistant staff rather than the program's top decision-maker. For a mid-tier D1 program, this is fairly standard practice at satellite ID camps, but it's worth understanding that your player will not be directly observed by the head coach. The two-day structure does allow for more sustained observation than a single-day session, and full-sided matches provide realistic game context. At $275, the cost is moderate for a two-day D1 camp. No prior reviews are available to inform expectations.

This camp works best for Class of 2026 and 2027 recruits who have serious interest in Cal Poly specifically and want to test their level against Big West competition. If your player is early in the recruiting process, is exploring multiple programs at different tiers, or needs to see film-producing matches, a two-day event with assistant-coach evaluation is a reasonable fit. Families should confirm age eligibility before registering, as the listing does not specify a minimum grade level.
