Day Camp

Stephen F. Austin's Day Camp is a five-day, non-residential clinic running July 13–17, 2026, in Nacogdoches, Texas. The camp is marketed toward ages 6–14 of all genders, though it is hosted by the university's Division I women's soccer program in the Southland Conference. The cost is $149 for the full session.

This camp is a youth development and introduction event, not a college recruiting ID camp. The age range (6–14) and coed format signal that this is designed for young soccer players exploring the sport and building fundamentals, not for high school recruits pursuing Division I scholarships. Families with elementary and middle school-age players who want exposure to a college program environment may find value here; high school athletes and their families hunting for recruiting opportunities should look elsewhere.

Participants should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means the coaching staff is not actively evaluating recruits for roster consideration. The five-day format provides solid contact hours and skill development relative to a single-day session, but the non-residential structure limits informal evaluation time with the coaching staff. At $149, the camp is affordable relative to overnight ID camps, but families should understand they are paying for a development experience rather than a recruiting evaluation venue.

This camp serves young players building their soccer foundation with early exposure to a college program. High school athletes—particularly those in grades 9–12 with D1 recruiting aspirations—should pass on this event and instead target camps explicitly designed for high school ID recruitment. If you have a younger player interested in attending, verify the registration deadline directly with Stephen F. Austin's athletics department, as none is listed here.
