2026 Spring Elite ID Clinic

East Carolina University is hosting a one-day women's soccer ID clinic on May 16, 2026, in Greenville, North Carolina. The camp costs $175 and runs as a day session without overnight lodging. It's designed for field players and goalkeepers, with training structured around ECU coaching concepts. The clinic is open to rising 8th through 12th graders.

This camp is pitched toward a wide age range—from rising middle schoolers through high school seniors—which signals an early-exposure and development focus rather than a serious recruiting funnel for Division 1 commits. If you have a rising 8th or 9th grader exploring college soccer, this is an accessible entry point. However, older high school players (rising 11th–12th graders) looking for meaningful recruiting attention from a D1 program may find limited value, since the broad grade range and single-day format suggest the emphasis is on camp volume and player development rather than direct roster evaluation.

The head coach does not attend this clinic, which is a meaningful detail. Without head-coach presence, the evaluation bar is lower, and coaching feedback may come from assistants or staff rather than the decision-maker. A single-day format also limits the informal contact time that overnight camps provide. At $175, the cost is reasonable and accessible, but families should expect this to be a skills-focused development session rather than a high-intensity recruiting audition. No prior reviews are available to provide context on past participant experience.

This camp works best for families of younger players (8th–9th grade) testing the waters of college soccer exposure without major financial commitment. High school juniors and seniors seriously targeting ECU or comparable D1 programs should prioritize camps where the head coach is present and evaluation is more concentrated. If interested, check ECU's soccer website for registration opening dates, as no deadline is currently listed.
