Residential/Overnight Camp | June

Hardin-Simmons University is hosting a coed ID camp June 10–13, 2026, in Abilene, Texas. This is a three-day overnight event, with residential campers paying $450 and commuter campers paying $300. The camp is a Division III recruiting event in the ASC conference.

This camp is designed for families exploring Division III fit and athletic-academic match. Hardin-Simmons competes at the D3 level, which typically recruits student-athletes with solid playing experience and realistic academic alignment with the university. The coed format and overnight residential option suggest the camp welcomes a broad range of players. No specific age or graduation-year bounds are published, so families should contact the school directly to confirm eligibility for their player's stage.

Families should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means coaching staff present will be evaluating but likely without final roster decisions being made in real time. The residential overnight format does offer more informal interaction than a single-day session—shared meals and evening activities can give players and coaches time to assess cultural fit. The three-day structure also provides more training and scrimmage time than a typical one-day clinic. The cost difference between residential ($450) and commuter ($300) options reflects room and board; families choosing the commuter route should confirm lodging availability in Abilene. No prior reviews are available for this camp, so there's limited third-party feedback on camp quality or coaching.

This camp makes sense for D3-curious players who want to test their fit at a specific ASC-level program without the higher cost or travel of multi-state ID circuits. It's a reasonable choice for rising juniors and seniors serious about D3 soccer. Families prioritizing D1 exposure or seeking head-coach direct evaluation should look elsewhere. If you're interested, confirm the registration deadline and age eligibility directly with Hardin-Simmons, as both are not posted.
