What do you like about the format of the ID Sports USA camp?

I had the opportunity to work at the ID USA Camp at Washington College this past July. I thought it was a very well run camp.

What stands out about the ID Sports USA camp's facilities, scheduling, or communication?

The facilities are phenomenal and everything surrounding the camp allows the players to focus on performing, getting a great experience, and ultimately having the opportunity to be seen by some high level coaches. Can't recommend it enough and think it's a really great opportunity to open a door to conversations and the recruiting process.

What do you like about the format of the ID Sports USA camp and your ability to engage with athletes in a meaningful way?

From the very first ID Sports event I worked, almost 10 years ago, I was impressed with the organization, the affordability, and the access that the coaches have to players and vice versa, where we can spend meaningful time with players and get to know them a little bit, coach them and see how they respond to coaching, and get to understand their personalities, which is really critical in the recruiting process.

Is there a favorite moment or experience that really stands out?

One of the things I've really enjoyed about our residential ID camp at Washington College through ID Sports is seeing high school players come in, meet each other for the first time, play together, and then a couple of years go by, and they're roommates and best friends, and they graduate together. And I've actually seen this develop into where one player is the other player's best man. That's about the best you can hope for.

What stands out about the ID Sports USA camp's facilities, scheduling, or communication?

We have a very nice facility at Washington College, which is sort of ideal for an ID camp of this nature. And I think we do a good job of not overburdening the players with too much high-level, high-intensity play. It's just the right level so they can stay fresh and show their best for the 20 or so college coaches we have on site.

Speaking directly to an athlete watching this video, why should they choose a ID Sports USA camp for their future development?

One of the great benefits of this format is that there's a lot of informal time. You can spend time chatting up, the Washington College coaches or the coaches from any of the other colleges that attend. You take meals together, you get a chance to inquire about their program and about their level of play, and get to know them personally. There is no better way to get an opportunity to play college soccer than by getting to know the college coach, and this is a really good format for that.
