VCU Women's Soccer Summer Camp

VCU Women's Soccer Summer Camp is a three-day ID camp hosted by the Division 1 program at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. The camp runs June 16–18, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Stuart C. Siegel Center. It is a day camp (no overnight component) and costs $350 for the full session.

This camp is designed for youth ages 6–13, which places it squarely in the development and early-exposure category rather than a serious recruiting event. Families with rising middle-school players exploring club soccer or looking for high-level technical instruction will find a fit here. This is not a camp where high school recruits should expect meaningful evaluation for college offers or recruitment conversations. The age range suggests VCU is running a youth development program to build brand awareness and talent pipeline, not scouting committed or serious prospective student-athletes.

Families should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means evaluation—if it happens at all—is conducted by assistant staff and volunteers, not decision-makers. The day-camp format limits informal contact with coaches compared to overnight or multi-day residential programs. At $350, the cost is moderate for a three-day skill-building clinic but above what many local youth leagues charge. There are no published reviews or ratings yet, so families considering this camp should ask VCU's youth soccer coordinator directly about coaching staff credentials and what the daily schedule looks like beyond the 9 a.m.–3 p.m. window.

This camp serves youth players building foundational soccer skills and families introducing their children to a college program's coaching environment. High school recruiting families—especially those with rising 9th graders hoping for meaningful D1 exposure—should look elsewhere. If your child is under 14 and you want a structured, college-run summer program in Richmond, this is worth a phone call to VCU's youth soccer contact. Otherwise, prioritize camps with older age cutoffs and head-coach attendance if recruitment is the goal.
