Winter ID Camp

The Winter ID Camp is for boys, high school age, looking to play soccer at the collegiate level. This is a fast-paced, combine-type camp, held in the Mellencamp Pavilion at Indiana University.

All Indiana Soccer Camps are “ID Camps.” Players are evaluated on and off the field for passion, skill, coachability, and character. The Winter ID Camp provides an opportunity for high level players to work with the Indiana University coaching staff along with other college coaches during a natural break with club and high school commitments.

Transportation to and from Indiana Soccer Camp

Eligibility

  • Camp is open to any and all participants, boys 15-18+. NCAA legislation allows high school graduates to attend camp.
  • The Winter ID Camp is an ID camp for high school-age players planning to play collegiate soccer.
  • Camp is both evaluative and developmental, consisting of challenging and innovative small and large group activities focusing on the technical and tactical aspects of the game.
  • The Indiana University Men’s Soccer staff, along with college coaches from a variety of Division I, II, and III universities in the region will provide instruction and insight.
  • The level of teaching and the interaction of players with the coaching staff differentiate the Winter ID Camp from camps described as “showcases.” While the camp is meant to identify prospective student athletes, our primary purpose is to teach players what is expected of them at the next level of play. Each player will achieve a new understanding of the technical and physical game. IU players are utilized to heighten the intensity and pace of the game as the weekend progresses. A greater appreciation for the work ethic expected during the high school years will motivate players to return home with new tools to achieve their goals.
  • Goalkeepers are given specific training with goalkeeping coaches in small-sided activities and in games. We pride ourselves in making sure the goalkeeper is not “the forgotten player” and limit goalkeeper’s to no more than 2 per team.
  • Guidance in sports nutrition, strength and conditioning and a college recruiting talk will round out the curriculum.
  • The Winter ID Camp will be held in Mellencamp Pavilion, an indoor training facility just north of Assembly Hall and the IU Memorial Stadium.
  • This camp is limited to 65 field players and 8 goalkeepers. Register as soon as possible to secure a spot.
