College Bound Player's Academy (CB3)

The College Bound Player's Academy (CB3) is a three-day day clinic hosted by UNC Chapel Hill, running July 10–12, 2026. It targets girls ages 13–17 and costs $429 for the full session. This is a player-development clinic, not a NCAA Division I recruiting event; UNC runs it as a skills-focused summer program rather than as an official college ID camp.

This clinic suits younger female players exploring serious soccer training at a collegiate level and families introducing their daughters to a top-tier program's coaching philosophy. The ages 13–17 span covers a wide range of maturity and commitment—from early-exposure ninth graders to committed juniors and seniors. If your daughter is in that age band and aspiring to play college soccer (at any level), the camp offers technical instruction in an elite program's environment. However, this is developmental coaching, not recruiting evaluation, so don't expect roster implications or individual recruit attention from the UNC staff.

Families should know upfront that the head coach does not attend this camp, meaning the evaluation is minimal to none. The three-day format gives more training volume than a single-day clinic, but since it runs as day sessions only, there are no overnight informal coach interactions. At $429, this is a mid-range cost for a three-day program; you're paying partly for UNC's brand and coaching quality, not for direct recruiting access. No player reviews are yet available for this specific camp.

This camp works best for families seeking summer skill development and exposure to an elite program's style of play, not for recruits actively pursuing a UNC offer or serious D1 recruiting interest. If your daughter is a committed, multi-sport athlete in eighth or ninth grade, or a senior finalizing her soccer training before signing day elsewhere, CB3 offers solid coaching. If you're hoping for recruiting momentum or individual coach feedback at the elite D1 level, look for overnight ID camps where the head coach is present. No registration deadline is listed; check the UNC athletics website for enrollment dates and final logistics.
