Junior Advanced Camp 1

Junior Advanced Camp 1 is a five-day day camp hosted by the University of Richmond women's soccer program (NCAA Division I) in Richmond, Virginia, running June 8–12, 2026. The camp serves players ages 7–16 and features instruction and competitive games (9v9 or 11v11 format) led by NCAA Division I coaches. Cost information was not listed at the time of this summary.

This camp is marketed to "highly motivated and competitive players," but the age range (7–16) indicates it functions as a youth development and skills-building event rather than a college ID or recruiting camp. Families with players in the under-13 range will find instruction-focused work; high school players attending will gain exposure to a D1 environment, but the mixed-age format limits the recruiting signal. If your daughter is a rising 9th or 10th grader interested in D1 soccer, this camp can introduce her to college coaching styles, but it should not be treated as a primary recruiting vehicle.

Prospective attendees should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means the evaluation focus is limited. As a day camp (not overnight), there is minimal informal coach contact outside structured sessions. The five-day format allows for more training time and skill development than a single-day clinic, making it better suited for players seeking improvement than for those pursuing serious recruiting exposure. No pricing was disclosed; families should contact the program directly to confirm fees before committing.

This camp is best for youth and early high school players who want exposure to college-level instruction in a supportive, skills-focused setting. Families of upperclass recruits (juniors and seniors) serious about D1 recruitment should prioritize ID camps where head coaches evaluate and compete for roster spots. Families interested in this camp should reach out directly to confirm the registration deadline and fee structure.
