Chris Gbandi Soccer Academy August 1st & 2nd College ID Camp (BOYS ONLY) ll at UCONN

We are pleased to announce that our final Recruiting ID Camp of 2026 will take place on Saturday August 1, and Sunday, August 2. This camp offers a unique opportunity for players to showcase their abilities in front of our coaching staff.

Over the past few years, we have been fortunate to identify talented players through our ID camps—many of whom are now valuable members of our program. With the evolving landscape of college soccer increasingly favoring older players and transfers, we have made it a priority to use our ID camps as a platform to evaluate and recruit younger players who demonstrate the potential to compete at one of the nation’s top programs. (We recently had two underclassman selected in the 2025 MLS Draft, three sophomores selected in the 2024 MLS Draft and two sophomores drafted in 2023.)

Our ID Camp also provides campers with the opportunity to train under the guidance of some of the nation's top college coaches. In previous years, our camps have attracted prestigious academic and athletic institutions, including Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, Williams, Tufts, MIT, Drexel, Connecticut College, Northeastern, and many others. (Please note: participating schools may vary by camp.)

Our training sessions are designed around our core philosophy of “Soccer Identity,” emphasizing purposeful, and skillful technical and tactical activities. If you are seeking an opportunity to showcase your abilities in a high-intensity, educational, and competitive environment, our ID camp is the ideal setting for you.

The one-day camp will run from morning to mid-afternoon, beginning with a technical training session followed by small-sided games. In the afternoon, we will feature a goalkeeper showcase and 11v11 matches.

We look forward to welcoming athletes who are ready to take their game to the next level.

The one-day camp will include:
