Bulldog Soccer Academy

Summer College Prep ID Clinics

You are invited to attend the most competitive and comprehensive summer ID clinic in the Ivy League, and the best overall value in the country.  This is not just a casual evaluation, this is an experience that will challenge you and provide an intense “snapshot” experience of what it’s like to be in a college soccer pre-season training camp.  This is tough and you need to be fit and prepared. 

The Bulldog Soccer Academy’s College Prep Summer ID Clinics will take place on July 16 – 17.  This ELITE soccer experience is led by the Yale men’s soccer coaching staff and is open to male players that are entering their sophomore year of high school and older (including JuCo players and/or currently enrolled Yale students).  It will be a great opportunity for prospects to train and play small and full-sided games, and all campers will be thoroughly evaluated by the entire Yale coaching staff, as well as other college coaches from multiple top-tier academic institutions (see this link for examples of (see this link for examples of Previous Coaches in Attendance). We have many of the same programs represented each year.  The full list of coaches attending these camps will be posted a few weeks prior to each camp.  Each player will also receive a written evaluation at the conclusion of the camp (not provided for one day participants).  We strive to provide an experience that will teach you something new, challenge you, meet new people, and have fun!

The cost of this great opportunity is only $475* and the best “bang for your buck” in the country!  In addition to the two days of training, playing and in-depth evaluation, there will be a nutritional talk, a strength training demo, and a coaches and players recruiting panel discussion.  Furthermore, each camper will receive a camp training top along with two meals (players and coaches only).  Lastly, there will also be an optional campus tour provided by Yale coaches and/or players.  There is no better value in the country!  Space is limited, so register early!

*Note:  We are only accepting online registration and no additional online fees will be charged.  $475 total for early bird registration discount, which ends three weeks before the clinic.  After this, the price will increase to $500.  While not ideal for the full experience and evaluation from coaches (no written evaluation will be completed), if you are only able to attend one day, the pro-rated fee is $350.

*PLEASE NOTE: Travel and lodging arrangements are the sole responsibility of each camper/parent. Please see the FAQs link on the side for a few hotel options.

WHAT TO BRING: Prospects need to bring adequate training apparel, properly inflated soccer ball (if driving to camp), shin guards, white and/or navy soccer socks, preferably navy or black soccer shorts, running shoes and/or indoor soccer shoes, and a pair of firm ground cleats and/or turf cleats (you need to be prepared to play on grass, artificial grass, “Astro” turf, and possible hard-court surface).  Bring a water bottle but water will be available at the fields.  Please put your name on all personal items.

REGISTRATION: Registration will close three days prior to the event OR when spaces fill up.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY: Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather.  If there is inclement weather (lightning, hail, severe storms, severe heat, etc), we will most likely NOT have indoor playing options and we will rearrange our schedule the best we can to maximize the playing opportunities outside, if weather permits  There will be NO refunds for any weather-related issues.
