MSA Day Camps

MSA Day Camps is a five-day coed clinic hosted by Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, running June 22–26, 2026. This is a day camp (no overnight option) affiliated with a Division 1 program in the West Coast Conference. The camp costs $425 and is designed for youth soccer players with an emphasis on technical development and character-building.

This camp is positioned as a youth development and exposure event rather than a recruiting ID camp. The description emphasizes fun and character virtues alongside technical training, and the absence of age or grade-year bounds in the listing suggests it serves a broad youth population—likely middle and early high school players seeking summer soccer training. Because the head coach does not attend, this is a coaching clinic, not an active recruiting evaluation. Families should view this as a training opportunity to improve fundamentals and experience college-level instruction in a scenic location, not as a recruiting platform.

Recruits and families should know that at $425 for a five-day day camp, this is a significant investment. The lack of head-coach presence means the coaching staff is not conducting formal recruiting evaluations; instead, the focus is on instruction and player development. The fact that no age or grade-year range is specified suggests flexibility in who can attend, which is common for developmental camps. No reviews are currently available on this camp, so prospective families should inquire directly with Pepperdine about instructor credentials, typical player age distribution, and what a typical day includes.

This camp is best suited for families seeking quality soccer instruction in a college setting who are not primarily pursuing recruiting exposure or evaluations. Younger or developing players exploring soccer at a higher level will find value here. Families with committed D1 recruits actively pursuing offers should prioritize camps where the head coach attends and recruiting evaluation is the explicit purpose. If you are interested in attending, contact Pepperdine directly to confirm the typical age range for this session and any enrollment deadlines.
