College Pathway Camp

NCE Soccer specialist College Pathway Camps connect High School players with leading Universities and Colleges.

The boys and girls camps – held over consecutive weeks – provide leading players from within the NCE Soccer Programs with a unique opportunity to work with College and University Coaches.

NCE Soccer players work directly with coaches from leading Colleges and Universities over three days at De Sales University benefiting from coaching sessions, competitive games and college seminars.

The College ID Camps provide NCE Soccer players with a unique opportunity to be scouted and make direct connections with the coaches who will help them onto the stage of their educational journey.

Boys Camp – July 16th-18th 2025

Girls Camp – July 23rd-25th 2025

Top Quality College Coaching

NCE Soccer Boys and Girls College Pathway Camps are held in July over two consecutive weeks.

The players enjoy three days of top class coaching sessions with NCE Soccer UEFA A licensed coaches and leading College and University coaches.

The College Pathway Camp is open ONLY to players already within NCE Soccer Programming and is by invitation only.

Players train twice daily with College Coaches and then play Showcase Games in the evening, allowing coaches the opportunity to work closely with players and watch them perform under the pressure of competitive action.

Accommodation is provided in DeSales University student accommodation, with three-meals-per-day provided in first class facilities.

All players are provided with Nike Uniforms and a bag with programming led by NCE Soccer Technical Director John Curtis and our team of UEFA A & B licensed coaching staff.

College Seminars

Players attending the NCE Soccer College Pathway Camp benefit from College seminars and workshops.

They will work with coaches from some of America’s leading educational institutes gaining unique understanding and insight into the collegiate process.

Led by NCE Soccer own College Pathway Coordinator Scott Middlemass and College Admissions Counsellor Pat Doyle, these sessions are invaluable.

They also provide opportunities for players to foster direct relationships with Colleges and individual Coaches as they begin the quest to secure places at their preferred choice of educational institute.

College Scouts

NCE Soccer’s College Pathway Camps are rapidly being recognized by College and University Coaches as the place to recruit potential talent.

Since the College Pathway Overnight camps were launched, we have received more and more requests from Colleges and Universities to attend because of the unique opportunity it provides for talent spotting.

University coaches live at the De Sales University campus throughout the week allowing them to coach players and then watch Showcase Games held every day.

The three day Camp allows them to scout players for particular positions providing insight into, not just the ability of NCE Soccer players, but crucially the personality behind the player through workshops and seminars.
