Summer ID 1

Summer ID 1 is a two-day men's ID camp hosted by the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio. The camp runs June 13–14, 2026, from noon to 4:30 p.m. each day and is a day-camp format (no overnight component). It's open to high school freshmen through seniors and junior college freshmen and sophomores. Registration costs between $135 and $240.

This camp is designed for high school boys exploring college soccer options at the Division II level and junior college athletes seeking visibility. The University of Dayton competes in the Pioneer Football League (an NCAA Division II conference), and this is a mid-tier program within that landscape. Families should understand that this is not a high-profile D1 recruiting event; it's a reasonable fit for recruits genuinely interested in D2 soccer or who are early in the recruiting process and want low-stakes exposure. The broad grad-year range (freshmen through seniors) means you'll be evaluated alongside players at very different stages of development.

Prospective attendees should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means the coaching staff is present but not necessarily conducting active, high-level recruiting evaluation. The day-camp format limits informal coach contact compared to overnight events; most interaction will happen during on-field sessions. At $135–$240, the cost is reasonable for a two-day camp, and the four-hour daily schedule is solid training time without requiring travel logistics. No recent reviews are available to reference. Families should come prepared with realistic expectations: this is a skills-development and exposure opportunity, not a venue where roster decisions are typically made.

This camp makes sense for families seriously considering D2 as a match and looking for an affordable, low-pressure way to get on a coaching staff's radar. It's also a reasonable option for junior college players seeking to transfer up to four-year programs. Skip it if you're chasing D1 slots or if you're a high school freshman just testing the waters—the cost and time investment aren't justified for exploratory recruiting. No registration deadline is posted, so check the University of Dayton athletics website for enrollment status and final application details.
