Santa Clara Soccer Academy 2026 College ID Camp - Summer #2

Santa Clara University is hosting a two-day men's Division 1 ID camp on July 20–21, 2026, in Santa Clara, California. The camp runs 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM both days and is a day-only format (no overnight housing). Sessions are available for field players and goalkeepers. The camp costs $400 total. It is part of the West Coast Conference.

This camp is aimed at boys and young men ages 15–19 with serious Division 1 interest. Santa Clara is a strong Division 1 program in a legitimate Power Conference, so competition for attention will be real. The program's strong tier and selective academic profile mean coaches will be evaluating fit across both athletic and academic dimensions. If you are a rising junior or senior with realistic D1 ambitions and interest in Santa Clara specifically, or if you want exposure to a solid West Coast D1 program, this camp fits that profile. Younger recruits (rising freshmen and sophomores) can attend but should understand that their film and current ability will be weighed against older cohorts.

Recruits should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means the staff running sessions may or may not have direct input into the formal recruiting evaluation. A full day of training and field time (9 AM to 4 PM, two days running) does offer meaningful observation windows, but the absence of head-coach presence is a material difference from elite camps where the top staff are on site making notes. At $400, this camp is at the higher end of the day-camp price range. There are no published reviews yet, so prospective attendees should reach out to the camp directly with questions about coaching staff, video review, or post-camp feedback.

This camp suits recruits seriously considering Santa Clara or wanting West Coast Conference exposure without committing to an overnight format or higher travel costs. If you are younger than 15 or only exploring club-level development rather than college recruiting, this is not the right event. Families should verify that the registration deadline has not passed and confirm that any video submission or prior film review is encouraged before attending.
