ID Camps & Clinics

Our ID Camps & Clinics are an excellent way to work alongside the coaching staff from the Cornell University women’s soccer program to gain valuable exposure and coaching insight. Our ID Camps & Clinics will be competitive, intense and fun. Our philosophy revolves around developing players who understand the game, which means our training environment has an emphasis on decision making in competitive soccer situations.   

Our ID Camps & Clinics will always be directed and coached by the Big Red coaches and our on field staff may include other college coaches along with Big Red players. 

This is the best way for players to get to know our Big Red coaching staff, and for our staff to learn about prospective student athletes.
