Colgate University Men's Soccer Clinic (II)

Colgate University hosts a two-day men's soccer ID clinic in Hamilton, New York, on July 31–August 1, 2026. The camp is a day program (no overnight component) open to grade 9 and up. It costs $435 flat and is billed as a multi-division event, meaning it serves recruits across different college levels, not exclusively D1 or D3 athletes.

This clinic fits families exploring options across multiple college soccer divisions. Because the camp welcomes grade 9 and up with no stated upper bound, it functions as both an early-exposure event for younger high schoolers and a recruiting venue for upperclassmen. The multi-division format means you'll train alongside peers targeting everything from D1 through D3 and likely NAIA programs. If your son is a rising 9th or 10th grader, this is a low-pressure introduction to college coaching. If he's a junior or senior with a specific division target in mind, know that you'll be in a mixed cohort rather than a program-focused group.

The head coach does not attend, which means evaluation happens at the staff level rather than through the top decision-maker. The camp description notes "coaches from top collegiate institutions," but without head-coach presence, the intensity of recruiting attention will be lighter than at events where the head coach is on site. Two days gives more training and film time than a single-day clinic, but the day format limits informal coach contact compared to overnight camps. At $435, this is a mid-to-high cost for a two-day day camp, so families should weigh the value of multi-division exposure against the price and lack of head-coach evaluation. No prior reviewer data exists for this camp, so you're working without peer feedback.

This camp works best for younger or exploratory recruits who want to experience college coaching in a developmental setting without the intensity or cost of a top-tier event. Families with serious D1 targets or upperclassmen pursuing specific programs may find the multi-division format and absent head coach less useful than a targeted ID camp at their target school. No registration deadline is posted, but early July 2026 is a reasonable window to finalize plans.
