Saint Joseph's Women's Soccer ID Clinic (May)

Saint Joseph's University is hosting a women's Division I ID clinic on May 17, 2026, at Sweeney Field in Philadelphia. This is a single-day, non-residential event open to female players ages 14–18. The cost is $212. The clinic includes 11v11 games, a facility tour, goalkeeper-specific training, and a Q&A with current players.

This camp targets high school players seriously exploring D1 options, particularly those in the mid-Atlantic region or already familiar with Saint Joseph's. The single-day format and moderate price point suggest an accessible entry point for families evaluating fit at a competitive D1 program, rather than an elite showcase requiring national travel. The age range (14–18) is broad enough to serve current high school players and younger athletes interested in early exposure to college recruiting.

Head Coach Jess Mannella's direct involvement in directing the clinic means the coaching staff is actively evaluating attendees, not simply running a skills session. That distinction matters: players can expect meaningful observation during games and a chance to ask substantive questions about the program. A single-day format limits informal coach contact compared to overnight camps, so your daughter should come prepared to show her playing level and personality in structured competitive time. No prior reviews are available for this specific event, so going in without peer feedback, you're relying on the program's reputation and your own assessment of fit.

This clinic makes sense for players genuinely interested in Saint Joseph's or exploring mid-tier D1 women's soccer in the Northeast. If your daughter is committed to pursuing higher-tier D1 programs nationally or is still in early exploration mode (rising 9th–10th grade), a broader showcase or multiple camps may better serve her timeline. For serious juniors and seniors with realistic D1 ambitions and geographic or academic interest in this school, the head-coach presence and competitive format justify the investment. No registration deadline is listed; register early to confirm a spot.
