2026 Technical Skills Camps - Week 5

UC Irvine is hosting a women's D1 technical skills clinic during the week of July 6–10, 2026, in Irvine, California. This is a day camp (not overnight) focused on skill development rather than a full roster ID camp. The five-day format gives participants extended training time across multiple sessions.

This camp suits younger or less-experienced players exploring D1 soccer, as well as families new to the recruiting process who want to test whether Big West level competition and coaching feel like a realistic fit. The clinic structure emphasizes technique and ball work over the high-pressure evaluation environment of a traditional ID camp. Participants should have some competitive soccer background but need not be actively recruited to get value from the training.

Families should know that the head coach does not attend these sessions, so evaluation is limited or handled by assistants. The five-day span means more repetition and feedback than a single-day clinic, but without the intensive recruiting focus or overnight interaction that larger ID camps provide. UC Irvine has not published a cost, so contact the program directly to confirm fees before committing. No recent participant reviews are available to gauge experience quality.

This camp works best for club or high school players interested in experiencing D1 training and getting a feel for the program without the financial or competitive stakes of a showcase event. Families serious about UC Irvine recruitment should plan to attend a traditional ID camp in a different season when the head coach is present and formal evaluation occurs. If you register, confirm the cost and any required materials with the program early.
