Day Camp 1 (Older than 7)

UNC Wilmington is hosting a day clinic for male soccer players June 8–12, 2026, in Wilmington, North Carolina. The camp runs five days without overnight housing and costs $289 to $420. Despite the D1 designation, this is explicitly a youth development camp for players ages 8–12, not a college recruiting event.

This camp is for young players in elementary and early middle school exploring soccer skill development. The age range—8 to 12 years old—places this firmly in recreational and competitive youth soccer, well before the recruiting process begins. If you're the parent of a rising 6th or 7th grader interested in technical training and exposure to college facilities, this camp fits that purpose. Families should understand upfront that no college recruiting evaluation occurs at this level.

The five-day format gives players multiple sessions to work on fundamentals in a collegiate environment. Because the head coach does not attend, coaching is handled by assistant staff or camp instructors rather than decision-makers in the recruiting pipeline. The cost is moderate for a multi-day youth camp. No player reviews are currently available for this session.

This camp serves young players and their families who want quality instruction at a college venue without recruiting pressure or evaluation. It's not a fit for families pursuing college recruitment or trying to gain the attention of a D1 program—those pursuits come later, once players are in high school. If you have a player ages 8–12 looking for solid coaching and a fun multi-day experience, this is worth considering; if you're looking ahead to college soccer recruitment, this is development-stage groundwork, not a scouting opportunity.
