About our One-Day ID Camps
These One-Day Prospect Camps are a fantastic opportunity for prospects to train with our players at Hope College in a high-level, competitive environment while showcasing their skills which will be evaluated by the Hope coaching staff. Prospects will get to know our staff and learn what it takes to play at the next level. Numerous players on the current roster were identified and recruited at prospect camp.
Goalkeeper Training
Our Hope College goalkeeper program is also available for camp. Goalkeepers will train separately from field players throughout the week, but take part in small sided as well as full sided play. The program is designed to challenge and develop individual skill throughout each training session and tactical knowledge during the games.
