Field Player III Camp

The Field Player III Camp is a five-day boys youth clinic hosted by the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio, running July 13–17, 2026. It is a day camp (half-day sessions 9am–12pm or full-day 9am–4pm) designed for players ages 6–14. This is a skills-development clinic, not a college recruiting ID event.

This camp is for young soccer players exploring fundamental techniques and game concepts, not for high school recruits pursuing college recruitment. The age range (6–14) and clinic format signal that Dayton is offering a youth training experience, similar to what many colleges run to build community goodwill and generate summer revenue. There is no recruiting evaluation happening here.

Families should know upfront that the head coach does not attend this camp, which is typical for youth clinics. The cost ranges from $250 to $295 depending on whether your child attends the half-day or full-day option—a reasonable rate for a multi-day instructional program. Because this is not a recruiting event, families should not expect individual player feedback, roster building, or the kind of competitive exposure that feeds into college recruitment conversations.

This camp is a fit for families with elementary or middle school–age soccer players who want quality summer training in a college environment. If your goal is college recruitment exposure, this is not the event to attend. There is no registration deadline listed, so check the University of Dayton athletics website directly to confirm current availability and enrollment logistics.
