Future Buckeyes Day Camp

Future Buckeyes Day Camp is a three-day men's soccer ID camp hosted by Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio, running June 17–19, 2026. The camp is a day program (no overnight component) and welcomes grades 6–8. It is run by the Ohio State men's soccer coaching staff and current team members.

This camp is designed for early-exposure soccer players in middle school, not for high school recruits pursuing D1 offers. The grade 6–8 target signals a development and skills-building focus rather than active recruitment evaluation. Families using this as an introduction to elite college soccer culture will find value, but players in grades 9–12 with realistic D1 ambitions should seek high school-focused ID camps instead.

Prospective attendees should note that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means the evaluation intensity is lower than Ohio State's senior-level recruiting events. The day-camp format also limits informal coach contact compared to overnight programs. Cost details are not listed; families should verify the fee before registering. This is fundamentally a training and exposure camp aimed at younger players with room to grow, not a high-stakes recruiting venue.

This camp is best suited for soccer families introducing their middle schooler to college-level coaching and competition. High school athletes or families with near-term D1 recruitment questions should look elsewhere. No registration deadline is currently posted, but families interested should check the Ohio State athletics website directly for enrollment and payment details.
