Junior Elite Soccer Camp #3

UCLA Junior Elite Soccer Camp #3 is a four-day day clinic for boys ages 12-14, running July 20-23, 2026, at UCLA's IM Field in Los Angeles. The camp is billed as advanced instruction for experienced players and costs $600. This is a skills and development clinic, not a college recruiting ID camp—the age range and format reflect that focus.

This camp is designed for young, competitive soccer players who have already developed above their age group and want exposure to elite-level coaching and training methods. The 12-14 age bracket means rising 8th and 9th graders primarily; families should understand this is early-stage development and player-exploration rather than a venue where college roster decisions are made. UCLA's program is consistently one of the nation's best, so the instruction quality and competition level will be high, but attendees should view the camp as an opportunity to train at a top program, not as a recruiting showcase.

Families should know that the head coach will not be present, so evaluation is not part of the camp's design. This is a teaching clinic led by assistant coaches and staff focused on skill development and exposure to UCLA's coaching philosophy. At $600 for a four-day day camp, this is toward the higher end of the pricing spectrum for youth soccer instruction; families should weigh that cost against the prestige of UCLA's program and the intensity of the coaching staff. Because no reviews are currently available, prospective families may want to reach out to UCLA directly to understand what past attendees gained from the experience.

This camp works best for families with boys ages 12-14 who are seriously committed to competitive soccer development and want to train under a nationally recognized program. It is not a recruiting event, so families hoping for college coaches to evaluate their child for future roster purposes should look elsewhere. If your young player is advanced for their age and you are willing to invest $600 for intensive coaching and exposure to an elite program's methods, this camp is worth considering. Registration details and any deadlines should be confirmed directly with UCLA Athletics.
