Lil Raider Camp III

Lil Raider Camp III is a three-day women's college ID camp hosted by Texas Tech University, a Big 12 Division 1 program, running July 6–8, 2026, in Lubbock, Texas. The camp is a day format, meaning participants commute rather than stay overnight. No cost information is published.

This camp appears designed for young players ages 7–12, which places it in the youth development and early-exposure category rather than a serious recruiting venue for high school recruits. Families of rising high school players should recognize that this age range does not align with the typical recruiting timeline for D1 recruiting events. If you are the parent of a middle-school or younger player with genuine interest in Texas Tech's program and early camp experience at a Power 5 school, this event offers that entry point. Older recruits and families already in the high school recruiting window should look elsewhere.

Since this is a day camp without overnight housing, expect limited informal coach interaction compared to residential events. The head coach does not attend, meaning evaluations—if they occur—will be conducted by assistant staff only, not the decision-makers at the program. The camp description notes it is open to "all genders," which conflicts with the women's designation; families should contact Texas Tech directly to clarify whether this is a women-only event or a coed youth development camp. No cost range is listed, so confirm fees with the program before committing.

This camp is best suited for families of younger players (under age 13) seeking early exposure to a Big 12 program and soccer development in a college setting. High school recruits actively pursuing D1 recruitment should prioritize ID camps with head-coach attendance and multi-day formats designed for older age groups. No registration deadline is listed; confirm dates and enrollment directly with Texas Tech.
