USF Residential Camp

The USF Residential Camp is a four-day, daytime clinic hosted by the University of South Florida men's soccer program, an NCAA Division I team in the American Athletic Conference. The camp runs June 14–17, 2026, in Tampa, Florida. Despite the name, it is not overnight; players commute daily.

This camp fits recruits exploring mid-tier Division I programs and the American Athletic Conference. It's a reasonable exposure event for rising seniors and juniors with realistic D1 ambitions who want to train at a Power Five conference peer level without the resource demands of a top-25 program. The clinic format and lack of overnight structure mean this is a training experience more than an intensive recruiting evaluation. Families with players seriously targeting AAC schools or seeking a solid D1 developmental environment should consider it; those pursuing elite D1 programs or looking for heavy coach contact should look elsewhere.

Recruits should enter knowing that the head coach does not attend this event, which means the coaching staff is teaching a curriculum rather than conducting active recruitment evaluations. The four-day format gives meaningful repetition and film study time that a single-day camp cannot, and the larger roster of attendees typical of university clinics creates a competitive environment. Cost information is not listed on the camp record, so contact the program directly before registering. No player reviews or ratings are available yet. The moderate academic tier of the school suggests that academic fit is part of the evaluation if coaching staff pay attention to grades, but this is not an elite academic recruiting event.

This camp serves families looking for quality developmental training and general D1 exposure at a realistic tier level. Skip it if your recruit is pursuing top-10 D1 programs, needs intensive head-coach evaluation, or prefers overnight camp intensity. For others testing the waters in the AAC or seeking summer training with D1 instruction, it's a solid four-day option. No registration deadline has been posted, so reach out to USF directly to confirm dates and pricing.
