SPOTS ARE LIMITED – RegistER EARLY!

Girls Winter College ID Camp: Saturday, February 15, 2025

Boys College ID Camp: Sunday, February 16, 2025

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.

Charlotte Soccer Academy will be offering their Off-Season Program for the 15U – 18U (2010-2007 birth year) girls in the spring season. This is for players that are not participating in spring high school sports programs so that they have a place to play and develop during that time.

The in-house games will be a small-sided version, either 7v7 or 9v9 (depending on number of players). This format will be helpful for player development in terms of more touches on the ball and more decision making in smaller spaces. The players will participate in CSA’s Puma Kings Cup (January 25/26 and the CSA First Strike Tournament (April 26/27) as 11 v 11 teams.

CSA will host a program in the South area (for Charlotte, Uptown and Matthews players) as well as a program in the North (for North/Huntersville players).
