2026 Summer Youth Camp - Week 6

UC Irvine's 2026 Summer Youth Camp—Week 6 is a day-based soccer clinic hosted by the University of California Irvine, a Division 1 program located in Irvine, California. The camp runs July 13–17, 2026, and is coed. According to the description, it targets ages 4–12 and focuses on developing fundamental soccer skills through recreational games and activities.

This is a youth development camp, not a college recruiting event. The age range (4–12) and coed format make clear that UC Irvine is running a summer skills clinic for young recreational players, not an ID camp evaluating future college recruits. Families with elementary-school-age children interested in soccer fundamentals in a college setting may find value here; families researching college recruiting should look elsewhere.

Because this is a development-focused camp rather than a recruiting showcase, there is no head-coach evaluation, no overnight component, and no direct path to recruiting attention. The camp is day-based, meaning players return home each evening. Cost information is not listed on the camp record. If your goal is to expose a young player to a college soccer environment and build basic skills, this camp may fit that purpose; if you're beginning the recruiting process or seeking evaluation from a D1 program, this event will not serve that need.

This camp is designed for families with young soccer players seeking summer skill development in a college setting, not for families pursuing college recruitment. If your child is 13 or older, or if you're evaluating college fit and recruiting prospects, pass on this event and look for age-appropriate ID camps instead.
