CSUEB Youth Soccer Camp

CSUEB Youth Soccer Camp is a five-day day clinic hosted by Cal State East Bay, a Division II program in the CCAA conference, running June 8–12, 2026, in Hayward, California. The camp is explicitly designed for youth players entering 1st through 8th grade and focuses on fundamental soccer skills taught through game-realistic scenarios. Lunch and a camp t-shirt are included in the $300 fee.

This is a youth development camp, not a college recruiting event. The grade-level targeting (1st–8th) means attendees are years away from any realistic college recruiting timeline. Families should understand that this camp is about introducing young players to organized soccer fundamentals and giving them a week of structured skill work in a team environment, not about exposure to college coaches or pathway planning.

Because this is a youth clinic rather than a recruiting camp, there is no head-coach evaluation component and no competitive recruiting environment. The focus is entirely on teaching and development for elementary and middle school players. The $300 cost is reasonable for a five-day day camp with meals and materials included. No prior reviews are available to reference. Families should come with age-appropriate expectations: this is a soccer school and a chance for young players to improve basics and have fun, not a scouting venue.

This camp is for families with elementary or early-middle school players who want a structured week of soccer instruction during summer break. If your child is already in high school or actively pursuing college recruitment, this camp is not relevant to that goal. Register early if interested, though no specific deadline is posted.
