Cal Girls Soccer Camp UC Berkeley - Day Camp

Cal Girls Soccer Camp at UC Berkeley is a five-day day camp running June 15–19, 2026, in Berkeley, California. It serves girls ages 6–13 and offers both full-day ($549) and half-day ($399) options. This is a skills and development camp, not a recruiting ID event. The camp emphasizes fundamentals, team play, and games rather than college evaluation.

This camp is designed for youth players in the elementary and early middle school range who are building foundational soccer skills. It is not a recruiting venue for high school athletes pursuing college scholarships. Families with rising 6th and 7th graders exploring recreational or competitive club soccer may find value in the instruction and peer play, but recruiting-focused families should look elsewhere. The low coach-to-camper ratio suggests structured instruction rather than selective evaluation.

Families should know upfront that this is a development camp hosted by a D1 program, not a college ID recruiting event. The head coach does not attend, meaning the camp is run by assistant staff and does not function as part of the recruiting process. Lunch is not provided, so plan accordingly. The five-day format gives young players meaningful exposure to higher-level coaching and peer competition, but the age range and structure make clear that this is youth development, not athlete evaluation.

This camp is best suited to families with elementary and early middle school-aged players who want quality instruction in a structured setting. High school athletes and families in the recruiting cycle should skip this camp. If your daughter is under 14 and plays recreationally or in club, the low coach ratio and five-day format may justify the cost; otherwise, a local club camp will serve the same purpose.
