college id camps 2026

SPOTS ARE LIMITED – RegistER EARLY!

Girls Winter College ID Camp: Saturday, February 21, 2026
Boys College ID Camp: Sunday, February 22, 2026

Charlotte Soccer Academy’s College ID Camps offer players a unique college-prep experience by directly introducing and exposing players to college coaches while also preparing them for their season. The format will allow players to experience the style and procedure of college coaches’ training sessions and the coaches will have an opportunity to work up close with the players to assess their training habits and performance in games. In the afternoon, CSA coaches will oversee full-sided games to allow the college coaches to rotate, observe and evaluate all attendees. The camp will also include a Q&A Session with College Coaches.

CSA College ID Camps are open to any and all interested players. Camp capacity is limited by field/facility space only.

We recommend the following resource for college bound athletes.
