Summer ID Camp

Ohio Northern University is hosting a three-day men's soccer ID camp in Ada, Ohio, June 16–18, 2026. The camp runs as a day program, meaning players attend training sessions and scrimmages during the day without overnight lodging. This is a Division III recruiting event, which typically attracts regional talent exploring mid-level college soccer opportunities.

This camp is designed for high school men's soccer players considering D3 programs in the Midwest and beyond. It fits families exploring whether D3 soccer aligns with their athlete's level and academic interests. The three-day format gives recruits time to demonstrate consistency and receive meaningful coaching feedback, but prospective players should understand this is a regional event rather than a nationally elite venue. D3 programs generally recruit a broader geographic area than D1, so players from Ohio and neighboring states are the primary audience.

One limitation to note: the head coach does not attend this camp, meaning evaluation may be conducted by assistant staff rather than the top decision-maker. That said, a three-day day camp still allows for adequate observation and coaching interaction. Players should come prepared to train at game intensity and show their best soccer across multiple sessions, as this is still a recruiting setting. Cost information is not listed; check the Ohio Northern website or contact the program directly for pricing and any discounts for early registration.

This camp works best for high school players genuinely interested in D3 soccer who want a low-pressure introduction to college-level training and a specific school's approach. If you're looking for a high-touch recruiting experience with guaranteed head-coach evaluation or intensive overnight coaching contact, a different event may serve you better. There is no registration deadline listed, so reach out to Ohio Northern early to confirm space and any upcoming application cutoffs.
