Simon Riddiough and Stephen Roche Soccer Camp 2026 - Week 1

Hofstra University is hosting the Simon Riddiough and Stephen Roche Soccer Camp 2026 - Week 1 in Hempstead, New York, from June 29 to July 2. This is a four-day ID camp for women's soccer at the Division 1 level. The camp runs as a day program, not overnight.

This camp is marketed to a wide range of ages, from rising 2nd graders through rising 12th graders. That breadth is a red flag for families with high school recruits. The inclusion of elementary and middle school players suggests this is primarily a youth development and skill-building event rather than a serious college recruiting venue. High school players considering this camp should understand that they will be grouped with much younger athletes and that the evaluation focus is not on identifying recruits for Hofstra's D1 roster.

The camp costs $780 for the four-day session, which is at the higher end for a day camp. The head coach does not attend, which means coaching is handled by assistants or visiting staff rather than the decision-maker for recruiting. Without head-coach presence, the evaluation framework for high school players is unclear. For serious recruits, this lack of direct head-coach involvement reduces the camp's value as a recruiting showcase. There are no prior reviews on file to provide insight into past participant experience.

Families with high school players pursuing D1 soccer should pass on this camp in favor of age-specific recruiting events where the head coach is present and evaluation is targeted at your recruit's graduation year. If your younger child plays soccer and you're looking for summer skill development with college coaching instruction, this camp offers that—but manage expectations around recruiting outcomes. With no registration deadline posted, check the Hofstra athletics website directly to confirm whether spots remain available.
