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. The camp runs June 15–19, 2026, in Hayward, California. It is explicitly designed for youth players entering 1st through 8th grade and focuses on fundamental soccer skills through game-based scenarios. Lunch and a camp t-shirt are included in the $300 fee.

This is a youth development camp, not a college recruiting event. It serves elementary and middle school players with no college ID or evaluation component. Families should not approach this as an opportunity to gain exposure to a college program or catch the attention of scouts. The focus is recreational skill-building for young learners in a structured environment.

Parents enrolling a child should know that this is a day camp with no overnight component, so there is no dormitory or meal accommodation beyond lunch. The head coach does not attend, meaning the instruction comes from assistant staff or camp directors rather than the college program's top leadership. At $300 for five days of instruction, the cost is moderate for a youth camp in the Bay Area. Families should confirm the exact age cutoffs and skill level expected since the camp spans a wide range from rising 2nd graders through rising 8th graders.

This camp is best suited for families looking to give a young player quality soccer instruction in a college-setting environment during the school break, not for families scouting Division II opportunities. Recruits and high school athletes pursuing college soccer should look elsewhere. Families interested should register soon since specific deadline information is not listed.
