Tiki-Taka Camp

The Tiki-Taka Camp is a day-camp ID event hosted by VCU, a Division 1 program, in Richmond, Virginia. The camp runs across the summer months (June 1–August 31, 2026) and combines traditional soccer with futsal training. The program serves male and female players ages 8–14, making this a youth development camp rather than a college recruiting event for high school athletes.

This camp is designed for younger recreational and competitive players exploring soccer skills and exposure to college-level instruction, not for serious high school recruits pursuing Division 1 opportunities. The age range (8–14) and coed format indicate the focus is early player development and soccer fundamentals. Families with rising 9th and 10th graders should look elsewhere for meaningful recruiting camps; this event is a stepping stone for younger players to experience a college program's training philosophy.

The camp description notes involvement from VCU's head coach and current players, though the registration data shows the head coach does not actively attend as an evaluator. This is a training clinic led by college staff, which means instruction quality may be solid but recruiting evaluation—the core purpose of an ID camp—is not a primary function. There is no published cost information or registration deadline, so families should contact VCU directly to confirm pricing, exact session dates within the summer window, and whether spots remain available.

This camp works best for families with younger sons and daughters (ages 8–13) who want quality technical instruction in a college environment before pursuing serious recruiting camp circuits in high school. If you are the parent of a rising 9th grader or older with Division 1 ambitions, this event will not serve your recruitment timeline. Contact the program directly to clarify the session structure and cost.
