January 2027 Pre ECNL-RL/ECNL ID Camp

Eckerd College is hosting a two-day women's soccer ID camp on January 6–7, 2027, in St. Petersburg, Florida. This is a Division II recruiting event run by the college's women's soccer coaching staff. The camp is a day program (non-overnight), meaning athletes commute to campus each day.

This camp is built for recruits exploring Division II fit, particularly those interested in the Sunshine State Conference. It suits high school players (likely rising juniors and seniors, though the camp hasn't specified grade-year bounds) who are seriously considering D2 as their recruiting target or who want to test their level against a mid-tier D2 program. The small, private campus in Florida also draws families in the Southeast or those willing to travel for a residential recruiting visit during the winter break period.

Families should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means evaluation will be conducted by assistant coaches or staff—a typical setup for January ID camps when head coaches manage off-season training or recruiting travel elsewhere. Because it's a two-day format rather than a single day, there will be more time for multiple training sessions and a fuller picture of player consistency. Eckerd's academic profile (selective tier) suggests the program takes academics seriously, so recruiting families should come prepared to discuss both athletic and academic credentials. No cost data is listed, so prospective families should contact the camp directly to confirm pricing and payment deadlines.

This camp makes sense for families committed to D2 exploration and comfortable with travel to Florida during early January. If your daughter is targeting higher-division programs or has already committed to D1 recruiting, this event won't add recruiting value. Conversely, if D2 is genuinely in her sights and she wants to test herself against a solid conference program, this is a straightforward two-day evaluation opportunity.
