Penn State Women's Soccer Camps
Hey everyone,
Don't know if this is the proper subreddit for this, and I also understand that this is a very specific topic topic, but I was looking to see if anyone here had any first hand experience attending a Penn State Women's I.D camp, or even more specifically the Middle School Girls Camp that they put on?
If you have, what did you think of the camp? How was it ran? Would you do it again/have your kid do it again?
My daughter is going into 8th grade and has expressed interest in doing a camp or two this summer that are not local Dlll camps (we have done many of those) because she is wanting to try something new. The Penn State Camps carry a higher price tag, and I was looking on feedback if it was worth it for the experience of the coaching staff, or if it was more so paying for the name and not worth the $550 for the middle school girls camp. The I.D camp is open to 8th-12th grade and is also an option.

Wow! Thanks for all the amazing advice. Admittedly I am very new to the whole college recruitment and college soccer in general. I have known it’s been a goal of hers for a while but I also said we will have time…well…now we are getting closer and I have some work to do. I didn’t realize the school couldn’t give any feedback on what they can and should be working on. I knew they couldn’t recruit at her age, but the no feedback thing is new to me.
The middle school camp is a 3 day, 2 night camp with the ID event being two half days. I have been going back and forth on the camp or more personalized training over the summer and maybe letting her see what an ID event looks like so when it’s time to attend for actual recruitment purposes she knows what it’s like.
Appreciate all the great advice and things to think about.
