Youth Camp Session 1

Youth Camp Session 1 is a four-day skills clinic hosted by Monmouth University's men's soccer program in West Long Branch, New Jersey, running July 6–9, 2026. It is a day camp (not overnight) and costs $200. The clinic focuses on technical instruction rather than recruiting evaluation.

This camp is designed for younger players seeking soccer skills development, not for high school recruits pursuing a D1 ID opportunity. Monmouth is a Division 1 program, but the "Youth Camp" label and day-camp format suggest this is a general youth skills event, not a college recruiting venue. Without age or grade-year bounds listed, families should confirm directly with the program whether rising 9th graders, middle schoolers, or even younger players are the intended audience. If your child is in high school and exploring D1 recruiting camps, this is not the right fit.

Families considering this camp should know that the head coach does not attend, meaning the coaching staff is not actively evaluating recruits against college standards. The four-day structure provides more instruction time than a single-day clinic, but the day-camp format limits informal coach contact compared to overnight residential camps. No prior reviews are available to speak to the quality of instruction or typical camper experience. At $200, this camp is affordably priced for a four-day event, but cost is secondary—the primary question is whether your player's age and goals align with a youth skills clinic rather than a recruiting evaluation.

Pass on this camp if you are a high school recruit or parent actively pursuing D1 recruiting opportunities. This is a skills-development event for younger players, not a recruiting platform. Contact Monmouth's program directly to confirm the intended age range and determine whether this aligns with your player's current level.
