Spring ID Camp

Appalachian State Women's Soccer is hosting a Spring ID Camp on May 16, 2026, in Boone, North Carolina. This is a single-day, daytime ID camp for female soccer players interested in Division 1 recruiting. The camp costs $195.

This camp is designed for female recruits actively exploring D1 options. Appalachian State competes in the Sun Belt Conference, a mid-tier FBS league whose soccer program operates at a competitive D1 level without the national-championship infrastructure of Power Five schools. Families should understand that while this is a legitimate Division 1 recruiting venue, it is not an elite program recruiting event. The camp will likely draw a regional pool of players from the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. No specific age or graduating-class cutoff is listed, so interested players of various recruitment stages may attend.

The head coach does not attend this camp, which means the evaluation will be conducted by assistant staff rather than the program's top decision-maker. This is common for single-day ID camps but worth noting: assistant coaches provide video and feedback, yet final roster decisions rest with the head coach who may not see every attendee in person. The $195 price point is reasonable for a one-day event and represents a low barrier to entry for families testing fit with a D1 program. No prior reviews are available, so this may be a new iteration or a camp without public feedback yet. Prepare as you would for any full-field ID session: bring game-ready fitness, bring a completed roster card if requested, and expect to be filmed.

This camp makes sense for families who want D1 exposure without the cost and time commitment of a multi-day showcase, and who are comfortable with a program outside the national-championship tier. It is less valuable for recruits with elite Power Five targets or those still in early-stage exploration (rising 9th–10th grade). No registration deadline is posted, so monitor the Appalachian State soccer website for updates as the camp date approaches.
