ID Camp: June 7-8, 2025 Entering Grades 10-12. Cost: $200
What is the purpose of ID Camp?
The purpose of ID Camp is twofold. The first is to provide rising sophomores to seniors the opportunity to experience the training and environment at the college level. The second is to identify players who are interested in playing soccer at Messiah. This camp provides us the opportunity to see you play and train within our system and style of play and for you to work with the coaches on our staff.
We will also be sharing with campers information regarding the college recruiting process, training to become a college level player, our vision of leadership and team chemistry, and what does Excellence and Success look like for a young athlete.
Housing/Meals:
Campers will be provided housing in our air conditioned dorms on Saturday night and will eat in the University's dining hall.
