Junior Residential Advanced Camp 2

UNC Charlotte's Junior Residential Advanced Camp 2 is a four-day overnight residential clinic for boys ages 9–14, running July 26–29, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is a youth development camp, not a college recruiting ID event. The overnight format allows extended training and coaching contact over multiple days.

This camp is designed for young soccer players in middle school and early high school who want to develop their technical skills in a college environment. The age range (9–14) and the "junior" designation signal that this is an early-exposure opportunity rather than a serious recruiting venue. Families should expect a skills-focused experience with peer competition, not an occasion where Division 1 coaches are actively scouting for future roster spots.

Parents should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means coaching evaluations are handled by assistant staff or external instructors rather than the program's decision-makers. The four-day overnight stay does provide more contact and training time than a typical single-day clinic, and the residential format often includes informal coach interaction in downtime. Cost details are not listed on the camp page, so families should contact UNC Charlotte directly for pricing before committing. No recent reviews are available to inform expectations about instruction quality or camp organization.

This camp serves families looking for a summer development opportunity in a college setting for younger players who are still building fundamentals. Families pursuing active D1 recruiting attention should focus their resources on ID camps where the head coach is present and the age range aligns with typical recruiting timelines (usually Class of 2025 and later). If your son is ages 9–14 and you're looking for skill development rather than recruiting exposure, reach out to the program for registration details and cost.
