Players with college soccer aspirations in the Midwest – or beyond – can bolster their chances by attending this year’s Elite College Identification Event.

Slated to be held on January 24-25, 2026 in Topeka, Kansas, it is an affordable chance for players to train with some of the best college coaches in Division I and beyond.

“There has never been a more challenging time in college soccer recruitment,” President and Camp Director Marcus Kelcher said. “Without a solid strategy, players will have an incredibly hard time finding the perfect fit, and this will cause both the player and family unnecessary stress and anxiety. It is our mission to prevent this.”

Elite College Identification Camps strives to offer a gold standard in college identification camps at a reasonable price. Beyond just a two-day event, a registered participant will have the opportunity to have a one-time college recruitment education consultation call. The meeting offers the player and family intentional information that provides more clarity on how to navigate the college recruitment process.

Several former camp participants have committed to the next level. Names such as Hayden Heiple (University of Oklahoma ), Jacy Hackler (University of Kansas), Ava Brown (Michigan State), Alyssa Emo (University of Arkansas), Peyton Gilles (Nebraska) and Khari Hontz (Mississippi State) are just a few of them.. 

Designed for players in the Under-15 age group and older, participants will have two ninety-minute training sessions and a ninety-minute game across two days. 

“I have been attending these ID camps for a long time and they have been so beneficial in helping my recruiting process,” Sting Black alum and Arkansas freshman Molly Teed said. “It put me in an environment where the college coaches could watch me while also allowing me to interact with them. These ID camps were super beneficial because while most ID camps only had a few college coaches, these had a bunch of coaches who watched me play and I got to work with them.

Coaches from Kentucky, Mississippi State, Florida, Baylor, Marquette, Virginia, Wake Forest, Iowa, Pittsburgh, Arkansas, Omaha, Kansas, Ole Miss and Dallas Baptist are expected to attend the winter event in January. Click here to register for it.
