Cal Soccer ID Clinic - Summer II

Cal Soccer ID Clinic - Summer II is a two-day men's Division 1 ID camp hosted by UC Berkeley, held August 1–2, 2026, in Berkeley, California. The camp runs as a day program (not overnight) and costs $359. According to the camp description, it is directed by head coach Leonard Griffin and conducted on Witter Field with the Cal coaching staff.

This camp is designed for high school boys with serious Division 1 aspirations, particularly those considering West Coast programs or exploring whether they fit the ACC competitive level. The two-day format and field location suggest intermediate-to-advanced players rather than beginners. However, without stated age or class-year bounds, the camp's intended grade range is unclear—families should confirm whether rising freshmen are welcome or if the focus is on juniors and seniors closer to the recruiting timeline.

Recruits should note that while the camp description lists head coach Leonard Griffin, the data indicates that the head coach does not actively attend the camp itself. This is a meaningful distinction: coaching staff will be present and evaluating, but the head coach's direct involvement in player assessment is not confirmed. The two-day duration provides more on-field time and observation opportunity than a single-day session. At $359, the cost is moderate for a two-day Division 1 camp. There are no prior reviews on file, so families cannot yet rely on participant feedback about instruction quality or coaching interaction.

This camp is worth exploring if your son is a serious, committed high school player targeting Division 1 soccer and interested in UC Berkeley or similar West Coast programs. If he's earlier in his recruiting timeline (freshman or sophomore year), clarify the age eligibility first. Families should move quickly to register, as no deadline is listed but summer camps fill fast. If your player is still building fundamentals or prefers overnight camps with more informal coach access, a different venue may be a better fit.
