MSA Day Camps

MSA Day Camps is a five-day, day-only soccer clinic hosted by Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, running July 13–17, 2026. The camp is coed and listed under the D1 division, though the structure and marketing language suggest this is a youth development event rather than a college recruiting showcase. Cost is $425 for the full week.

This camp is designed for younger or recreational players seeking technical instruction and character-focused coaching in a group setting. The coed format at a D1 school, combined with the emphasis on "fun, growth, and character development," indicates this is a skills clinic for rising middle or early high school players, not a recruiting evaluation event. Families should not approach this expecting college coaches to assess them for roster consideration or to meet NCAA compliance with an official ID camp structure.

Prospective attendees should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, so there is no active staff evaluation component. The five-day format allows for repeated instruction and habit-building around technical skills and field awareness. With no overnight component, participants commute daily to Pepperdine's Malibu location. At $425 for the week, the cost is moderate for a five-day day camp. The camp has no user reviews on file, so incoming families lack peer feedback on coaching quality or logistics. Bring sun protection and expect heat in July along the Southern California coast.

This camp is best suited for younger players or families prioritizing skill development and character coaching over recruiting exposure. High school recruits actively pursuing D1 interest, or families evaluating college fit, should look for camps with head coach attendance and official recruiting formats. If your child is under 14 and interested in technical soccer training in a fun environment, this clinic offers that. Otherwise, clarify the age range with the camp organizers before registering.
