College Bound Player's Academy (CB1)

The College Bound Player's Academy (CB1) is a three-day women's soccer clinic hosted by UNC Chapel Hill, June 12–14, 2026, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It runs as a day camp (no overnight option) and costs $429 per participant. The clinic targets girls ages 13–17 and emphasizes player development for recruits interested in college soccer.

This clinic is designed for younger female soccer players exploring college pathways, particularly those interested in top-tier Division I programs. The age range (13–17) and "college-bound" framing suggest the camp serves rising high school freshmen through juniors as an early-exposure event rather than a recruitment vehicle for immediate offers. Families with players considering UNC or peer elite-level programs should note that this is a development clinic, not a dedicated ID camp where head coaches formally evaluate recruits for roster consideration.

Prospective participants should understand what they're signing up for: at $429, this is a premium-priced day camp run by one of the nation's top women's soccer programs. Because the head coach does not attend, coaching will be delivered by assistant staff or development instructors, not the decision-makers who control scholarships and rosters. The three-day format gives more repetition and training volume than a single-day session, which is valuable for skill refinement and exposure to the program's culture. However, the lack of head-coach presence means formal recruiting evaluation is not the primary purpose. UNC Chapel Hill is an academically selective institution, so families should be prepared for a program where athletic and academic credentials both matter.

This camp works best for families with younger players (freshmen and sophomores) who want early exposure to elite college soccer training in a low-pressure developmental setting. It's less suitable for juniors or seniors actively pursuing D1 offers, since the absence of head-coach attendance limits recruiting value at the point when roster decisions are made. If your player is serious about UNC or similar elite programs, plan to attend dedicated ID camps or showcases where head coaches are present. There is no listed registration deadline, so interested families should reach out to UNC's camp administration to confirm the registration window and current availability.
