The ninth annual SMU Men’s Soccer Winter ID Camp is designed for players who are seriously interested in playing at the highest collegiate level. The SMU Coaching Staff will run all sessions and games during the two-day camp. Players will experience the same training exercises and coaching that perennial top-25 ranked SMU Mustang players receive on a day-to-day basis.
Campers will also have an opportunity to learn about the college recruiting process. The SMU coaching staff will host a recruiting process panel discussion to answer any questions related to college recruitment. Our goal is to give each player the opportunity and tools needed to play collegiate soccer.
Campers will have access to world class athletic facilities including Washburne Soccer and Track Stadium, which is one of the best college soccer surfaces in the United States.
Other college coaches from around the region will be invited to attend and evaluate potential recruits at the camp. Invited programs include some of the best NCAA Division I, II, and III programs in the country.
Enrollment is open to boys grades 11 and up. Specific goalkeeper training will also be offered. Space is limited so we encourage you to register at your earliest convenience.
