SOCCER - BOYS

The University of Wisconsin Men’s Soccer program is pleased to announce our 2026 overnight Residential Elite College ID Camp. This camp is geared toward players aspiring to enter the college ranks, as well as those who are searching for somewhere to learn new skills and improve their game. The Residential College ID camp will allow prospects to spend time with the Wisconsin Men's Soccer coaching staff, as well as practice and play matches under the guidance of other college coaches from various Division I, II, III, junior college, and NAIA programs.

Players will work directly with these coaches and will have the opportunity to be seen and evaluated over the course of four days. Set on the beautiful shores of Lake Mendota, Campers will reside in the Lake Shore Dorms and experience what living in a dorm is like while eating meals at Four Lakes Market. This camp will provide players with a greater understanding of the demands of a Men’s college soccer program, while being scouted and evaluated. Specific goalkeeper training will be provided to all goalkeepers in attendance. This Camp is open to any and all male entrants entering grades 8-12 in the Fall of 2026.
