Summer 1-Day ID Camp | July 23rd

UC San Diego is hosting a one-day men's Division 1 ID camp on July 23rd, 2026, at RIMAC from noon to 4:00 p.m. The camp serves grades 9–12 and costs $160 for field players and goalkeepers. This is a day camp only, with no overnight component, so athletes will return home after the four-hour session.

This camp is aimed at a broad age band of male high school soccer players exploring D1 opportunities. The UC San Diego men's program competes in the Big West Conference, a mid-tier D1 league. The four-year span (grades 9–12) means the camp welcomes everyone from early explorers to committed seniors, though rising juniors and seniors are the most realistic recruits for a D1 program's active evaluation. Younger players should view this as an exposure event rather than a high-leverage recruiting showcase.

Families should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means coaching staff evaluation will be lighter than at events where the top program leader is present. The one-day, four-hour format is relatively compact for an ID camp—less time for coaches to observe game decisions and patterns than a full-day or multi-day residential event would provide. The $160 cost is reasonable for a D1 ID camp and includes field and goalkeeper positions. No recent reviews are on file for this specific session, so prospective attendees cannot draw on peer experience yet.

This camp works best for high school players in Northern California or the Southwest who want an affordable, low-commitment look at a D1 program without traveling overnight. Families expecting intensive coaching interaction or film review should look elsewhere. If this camp appeals to you, confirm current registration details directly with UC San Diego, as no deadline was posted.
