MSOC Kids Camp

Saint Mary's College of California is hosting a four-day men's soccer clinic from July 13–16, 2026, in Moraga, California. This is a day camp (not overnight) focused on technical skill development, tactical team play, and mental strength, combining individual instruction, group work, and game experience. The cost ranges from $239 to $369. This is a D1 West Coast Conference program, but the camp structure and name signal a developmental clinic rather than a competitive recruiting ID camp.

This camp appears designed for younger or developmental players seeking exposure to a D1 college environment and coaching methods. The lack of specified age or graduation-year bands, combined with the "Kids Camp" branding, suggests the event may serve players ranging from middle school through early high school rather than targeting serious high school recruits actively building college recruiting profiles. If you're a freshman or sophomore exploring what college soccer training looks like, or a family new to the recruiting process, this could be a useful introduction. It is not structured as a high-level recruiting showcase where coaches intensively evaluate rising seniors or juniors for scholarship interest.

The head coach does not attend this clinic, which means evaluation—if it happens—is limited to volunteer or assistant staff and is not a priority. The day-camp format also limits informal coach contact compared to overnight residential camps. With no recent reviews available, there's no external feedback on the quality of instruction or coaching access. Families should expect a fundamentals-focused training experience rather than a recruiting platform. The $239–$369 cost is reasonable for a four-day day camp, but it's worth confirming what's included and whether any recruiting messaging is realistic before registering.

This camp works best for younger or developmental players who want exposure to D1 training without the recruiting pressure or cost of elite ID camps. If your player is a rising senior or junior seriously pursuing D1 recruiting, or if you're looking for intensive coach evaluation and film review, look elsewhere. Families comfortable with a summer skills clinic at a respected program should note that no registration deadline is posted—check the school's website directly to confirm dates and availability.
