Elite ID / Residential Camp

Mercer University is hosting an Elite ID Residential Camp for women's soccer on July 11–13, 2026, in Macon, Georgia. This is a three-day overnight ID camp designed to evaluate prospective D1 recruits. The camp combines on-field training and scrimmages with residential housing, giving players extended exposure to the coaching staff and program.

This camp targets committed female soccer recruits with serious D1 ambitions who are ready for intensive evaluation at the college level. The overnight format and multi-day duration suggest the program is looking for players with clear recruitment interest, though specific grad-year or age boundaries are not listed. Families should verify whether the camp fits their player's current stage—rising juniors exploring early D1 interest may find value here, but the "elite" designation implies competitive rosters and high performance expectations.

Prospective attendees should note that while the camp description emphasizes residential accommodations and elite-level evaluation, the head coach's attendance at camp activities is not confirmed in the available information. This matters because head-coach presence typically signals direct staff evaluation, while assistant-led camps may focus more on player development and skill instruction. The three-day overnight format does provide more informal coach contact and program immersion than a single-day session would. No prior attendee reviews are available, so families should reach out directly to Mercer's coaching staff for details on evaluation structure, player-to-coach ratios, and what competitive level of play is expected. Cost information is not listed; confirm pricing and what is included (meals, housing, training materials) before committing.

This camp is best suited for rising juniors or Class of 2027/2028 recruits who have already identified Mercer as a realistic target and want extended face time with the program. Families without a strong prior connection to Mercer, or those earlier in the recruiting timeline (freshman or sophomore level), may find value in single-day showcases or smaller regional ID events first. If you're genuinely interested in this camp, contact Mercer women's soccer directly soon to confirm deadlines, costs, and roster availability.
