2026 Summer Youth Camps - Week 8

UC Irvine's 2026 Summer Youth Camps—Week 8 is a five-day women's soccer clinic held July 27–31 in Irvine, California. This is a day camp hosted by a Division 1 program in the Big West Conference. The camp is skills and development-focused rather than a roster-evaluation event.

This camp is best suited for younger players exploring college soccer and building technical fundamentals in a college training environment. Without age or grade-year bounds in the camp description, families should contact UC Irvine directly to confirm whether their daughter fits the intended age range—these youth clinics often target rising 9th through 11th graders rather than upperclassmen with immediate recruiting timelines. If your daughter is already a committed D1 recruit or in the thick of the recruiting process, this clinic is likely too early-stage for your goals.

The head coach does not attend this camp, which means evaluation for recruiting purposes is not the primary focus. A five-day day camp offers more training volume and skill exposure than a single-session clinic, but without overnight housing or head-coach presence, informal coach contact and roster visibility will be limited. Cost details were not listed online; contact the program directly for pricing before registering. No prior attendee reviews are available, so you cannot draw on past family experience to gauge quality or fit.

This camp works best for families introducing a younger player to a D1 program's style and training standards, or for players seeking summer skill development in a college setting without the pressure of a recruiting evaluation. If you're looking for a recruiting camp where your daughter will be directly assessed by the UC Irvine coaching staff, this is not the right event. Confirm age eligibility and cost with the program before committing.
