When Are College ID Camps Posted? Soccer, Baseball and Softball Timing

Q: When are college soccer ID camps posted?

Winter and spring ID camps usually appear between November and January, and summer camps between February and April. Fall camps are often announced in late summer.

The short answer

Colleges post camps in waves, a few months before they run. For soccer, winter and spring ID camps appear between November and January, and summer camps between February and April. Baseball and softball prospect camps cluster in the fall and early winter, after fall practice, so many are posted by late summer.

Popular camps fill early, so it pays to check from the start of each wave rather than a few weeks before.

When camps actually run

ID and prospect camps in ID Season's data, by the month they start (this season's posted camps plus last season's, which show the usual timing):

	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec
Soccer	47	28	17	16	16	81	89	41	11	60	76	39
Baseball	19	2		1	1	5	9	12	12	57	46	15
Softball	19	2				3	9	13	9	30	26	26

Busiest months: soccer Jul, Jun, Nov; baseball Oct, Nov, Jan; softball Oct, Nov, Dec. Counts grow through the year as colleges post more camps.

A calendar to follow

August–September: fall camps and clinics are announced, many around college home games. Baseball and softball fall prospect camps open.
October–January: the busiest posting stretch. Soccer winter and holiday-break camps; most baseball and softball prospect camps.
February–April: summer camp dates appear. This is when to plan June and July.
June–July: the big summer camps, often multi-day, on campuses across the country.

Last year's dates are the best guide to this year's: most programs run their camps at about the same time each season. ID Season shows last season's dates for every program until the new ones are posted.
