Boys & Girls Day Camp II - Half Day

Old Dominion University is hosting a Boys & Girls Day Camp II – Half Day, a five-day daytime clinic running July 6–10, 2026, in Norfolk, Virginia. The camp costs $250 and is designed as a skills-development session rather than a recruiting evaluation event. It's a D1 program clinic, but the coed structure and half-day format signal this is a youth instruction camp, not a college ID venue where recruits are assessed for roster consideration.

This camp is best suited for younger or pre-recruiting-age soccer players looking for summer skill instruction at a college setting. Since the camp accepts both boys and girls and runs in half-day sessions, it's geared toward players still exploring the game rather than high school recruits preparing for official recruiting timelines. No specific age or grade-year bounds are listed in the camp materials, so families should confirm with Old Dominion directly whether their child's age group is the intended target. If you're a high school player or parent evaluating D1 recruiting fit, this is not the right event.

Families should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means it functions as a revenue camp rather than a recruiting evaluation platform. Half-day format means limited coaching contact and film review compared to overnight or multi-day ID camps run by the same program. The $250 price point is reasonable for a five-day clinic, but the value depends entirely on your child's developmental stage and whether they're seeking college exposure or simply summer training. No previous reviews are available to reference, so you may want to contact the program directly about instructor qualifications and player-to-coach ratios.

This camp is a good fit for middle-school or early-high-school players looking for summer instruction in a college environment, but it is not a recruiting event and should not be treated as one. If you're a high school junior or senior pursuing college interest, pass on this camp and look for overnight or multi-day ID camps where head coaches are present and evaluation is part of the mission. Families interested in the program's development offerings should contact Old Dominion's soccer office directly for roster and schedule confirmation.
