University of Michigan Boys' Soccer Camps - Elite Recruiting Camps

  • Elite Recruiting Camps are designed for high level players to better understand the demands placed upon them as a Division I soccer player.

    The Elite Recruiting Camps are open to all campers as long as you qualify by age.  You must be a rising high school sophomore, junior, senior, or recently graduated senior. From fitness tests to training to scrimmage matches used to gauge a player’s place within the team, this camp will provide the serious soccer player with the understanding of what it will take for success at the collegiate level.  Each camper will also receive feedback on their ability and where we feel they fit in the spectrum of college soccer.
