2026 Youth Summer Camp Week II (Mini Elite)

East Carolina University is hosting a coed youth soccer clinic in Greenville, North Carolina from June 22–25, 2026. The camp is a day program (3:30 PM to 6:00 PM) designed for rising 6th through 10th graders and costs $200.

This camp is an early-exposure event, not a college recruiting showcase. The age range—rising middle and early high school players—and the coed format signal that this is a developmental clinic where younger players get instruction in a college environment. Families with rising 6th to 8th graders exploring soccer skill development at a D1 program will find a fit here. Rising 9th and 10th graders may attend, but should manage expectations: this is not a venue where the coaching staff is actively evaluating recruits for roster consideration.

Families should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means evaluation is not the primary purpose. The afternoon time slot (3:30 PM start) is typical for youth clinics that run alongside or after collegiate team activities. As a day program without overnight housing, there is minimal informal coach contact beyond what happens on the field during the three-hour session. At $200 for a three-day, part-day camp, the cost is modest relative to multi-day overnight recruiting events, though parents should confirm what is included (meals, equipment, field time, coaching contact hours).

This camp makes sense for families with younger players seeking to improve fundamentals in a college soccer setting and build familiarity with the sport at scale. Families with high school recruits pursuing serious D1 evaluation should prioritize overnight ID camps or recruiting-specific events where head coaches attend. No registration deadline is listed, so interested families should check East Carolina's website for enrollment details.
