USF College ID Camp

The USF College ID Camp is a two-day men's Division I recruiting event hosted by the University of South Florida in Tampa, running July 25–26, 2026. The camp is day-based, meaning players return home each evening rather than staying overnight.

This camp is aimed at high school male soccer players serious about exploring D1 opportunities, particularly those interested in American Athletic Conference (AAC) level play. USF competes at a mid-tier Division I program, so the recruiting bar is genuine but not in the elite tier. The event suits players who have committed to the college search process and want exposure at an AAC school. Players from across the country attend these camps, though travel costs to Tampa should factor into your decision.

One important detail: the head coach does not attend this camp. That means the evaluation and instruction come from assistant coaches and staff, not the decision-maker on recruiting. This is still a legitimate ID camp—staff will be watching—but you should know upfront that the top evaluator isn't on the field. The two-day format gives more training and scrimmage time than a single-day session, allowing coaches to observe players across multiple settings. USF is a large public university, so the camp may draw a substantial roster of players; individual attention depends on group size and staff ratios. No cost information is listed, so contact the program directly for fees.

This camp works best for players with genuine Division I aspirations who are willing to travel to Florida and can benefit from a mid-level D1 evaluation. If your son is narrowly targeting elite Power Four programs, this may be lower leverage; conversely, if he's still testing whether D1 fit is realistic, a day camp at an AAC school offers real-world feedback without overnight commitment. Contact the program soon to confirm the registration deadline and cost.
