College ID Camp #2

College ID Camp #2 is a four-day men's Division 1 identification camp hosted by UCLA in Los Angeles, running July 27–30, 2026. The camp is day-based (non-residential) and held at IM Field. It combines competitive play, technical training, film study, conditioning instruction, and college recruitment discussions. Cost is $750 flat.

This camp is designed for serious high school soccer players (grades 9–12) with realistic Division 1 ambitions. UCLA competes in the Big Ten and is classified as an elite program, which means competition for coaching attention will be significant. The target group is club-level players already on a recruiting radar or actively pursuing D1 interest. Younger participants (rising 9th–10th graders) should be aware they're attending a recruitment-focused event alongside more developed juniors and seniors, not an early-exposure or development-only camp. The most-selective academic tier signals that UCLA will evaluate fit holistically—soccer talent alone won't carry a prospect.

A key limitation here is that the head coach does not attend this camp. That means while the staff will conduct evaluations, the most senior decision-maker is not present to assess you directly. The four-day format and film-review components do provide more substantive exposure than a typical one-day combine, but the day-only structure means less informal coach contact than an overnight residential camp would offer. At $750, this is a premium price point; families should budget accordingly and understand they're paying for access to an elite program's coaching staff and video analysis, not guaranteed evaluation intensity. No prior attendee reviews are available to calibrate expectations.

This camp suits club-level high school boys actively seeking D1 interest and comfortable competing in a high-level, selective environment. Families should consider whether the four-day day-camp format and absence of head-coach presence justify the cost relative to other Division 1 ID camps they're considering. If you're a prospect with genuine D1-level play and strong academics, UCLA's elite tier and Big Ten standing make this a worthwhile investment. If you're exploring options or earlier in the recruiting timeline, a lower-cost day camp or residential experience might better fit your current stage.
