Technical Skills Camp - Week 2

UC Irvine is hosting a Technical Skills Camp — Week 2 in Irvine, California, from June 16–18, 2026. This is a three-day day clinic (not overnight) open to coed players ages 10–18. The camp focuses on ball mastery and small-sided games rather than traditional college recruiting evaluation. UC Irvine competes in the Big West Conference at the Division 1 level.

This camp is designed for youth and developing players seeking technical instruction, not for high school recruits actively pursuing a college commitment. The age range (10–18) and emphasis on skill development signal that this is a training clinic open to a broad recreational audience, including players well below recruiting age. Families with rising 9th and 10th graders interested in college soccer should view this as a skills camp, not a recruiting showcase where college coaches will be actively evaluating roster prospects.

Prospective attendees should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means UC Irvine's staff is not actively evaluating players for recruitment. The three-day format allows more focused technical training than a single-day session, but without coaching staff presence, the camp is fundamentally a skills-development event. No pricing information is listed; families should contact UC Irvine directly to confirm the cost. There are no prior reviews on file for this specific session.

This camp works best for younger players (ages 10–15) and recreational players ages 16–18 who want to improve ball-handling technique in a structured setting. High school sophomores and juniors who are serious about Division 1 recruiting should prioritize camps where the head coach attends and evaluates. If your player is in that college-evaluation window, look for UC Irvine's recruiting-specific ID camp or other Big West schools' evaluation events instead.
