Half Day Camps Session 1

SMU's Half Day Camps Session 1 is a one-week women's D1 soccer clinic running June 1–5, 2026, in Dallas. This is a day camp format with no overnight component. The camp costs $245 for early-bird registration. As a clinic rather than a full ID camp, the focus is on skill development and training within a college environment rather than intensive recruiting evaluation.

This camp suits younger or developing players exploring D1 soccer and what a strong ACC program looks like. Because the head coach does not attend, this is not a recruiting-priority event—it's a chance to train with assistant staff and gain exposure to college-level play. The lack of specified age or grade-year bounds suggests the camp may welcome a broad range of ages, so families should confirm whether their player's level and maturity fit before registering. Players already committed or actively pursuing top-tier offers would find more value in ID camps where the head coach is present and actively evaluating.

The $245 price point is reasonable for a one-week day camp at a strong D1 program in a major city. Day-camp format means minimal informal coaching contact outside scheduled sessions, so recruitment conversations will be limited. The clinic structure emphasizes technical and tactical work rather than competitive showcasing. SMU is a selective academic institution, so players interested in the school should also research how recruiting and admissions timelines align. No recent reviews are available for this session, so prospective attendees may want to reach out directly to ask what previous campers experienced.

This camp works best for players in a development phase who want to see themselves against D1 soccer without the cost and time commitment of an overnight ID camp. Families with players committed to recruiting elsewhere or needing intensive head-coach evaluation should look for events where the coaching staff is actively watching for roster fit. If you're interested, confirm your player's age eligibility with the camp before committing.
