Here's the problem with most ID camps: your son shows up, he plays, he leaves - and you both drive home wondering if the coaches even noticed him, what they actually think, and what he should do next.

 

The Lake Forest College Elite Recruiting ID Experience is a premium full-day evaluation event for serious male soccer prospects who want more than just exposure. Players train and compete in a real college environment, are evaluated directly by our coaching staff, tour campus, and leave with concrete feedback and a clear picture of where they stand in the recruiting process.

 

 

This is not a camp where players show up, play, and leave wondering what coaches thought. Every player receives direct evaluation from college coaches, real recruiting clarity, and practical next-step guidance. The top tiers go further - delivering individualized written feedback, a personalized recruiting roadmap, and optional GPS performance data and Hudl footage from the day. You'll leave knowing where your son stands. That's the whole point.

 

Includes:

Great for players who want exposure and a genuine college training environment.

 

Includes everything in Standard, plus:

For players and families who want to leave with real answers, not just reps.

 

LIMITED TO 30 PLAYERS — GPS trackers are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Once 30 are claimed, this option closes.

Includes everything in Elite, plus:

Know the Gap. Close the Gap. Most players have no idea how their physical output compares to college or professional standards. Your GPS report will show you exactly where you measure up - and where the gap is - against both our current Lake Forest roster and professional player benchmarks. That's information most athletes never get. Now you have it on paper.

 

For players who want every advantage and the numbers to back it up.

 

When a college coach evaluates your son at this camp, you want to know that evaluation carries real weight.

 

Dan Andrews is in his 11th year with the Lake Forest program and has built one of the most consistent programs in NCAA Division III soccer. The 2025 Foresters went 19-2 overall, won their 20th conference title with a perfect 8-0 league record, and earned their fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. His teams are 100-70-11 all-time at Lake Forest, with 48 all-conference selections, 11 all-region honorees, and 144 Academic All-MWC awards during his tenure. He was named MWC Coaching Staff of the Year in 2024 and 2025.

 

This is a program that develops players — athletically and academically. When this staff tells you where your son stands, they're doing so with the perspective of coaches who compete at a high level every single year. That's the evaluation you're getting at this camp.

The recruiting process is confusing, expensive, and often leaves families without clear answers — even after years of investment. This event is designed to cut through that. You'll get direct feedback from a college coaching staff so you can make smarter decisions about your son's next steps, regardless of whether Lake Forest ends up being the right fit.

 

Registration is capped to maintain evaluation quality and keep coach-to-player ratios high. All tiers have limited spots. The Elite Data tier is hard-capped at 30 players due to GPS tracker availability.

 

Registration closes when capacity is reached, not on a set date.

 

Please note: Attendance does not guarantee recruitment or follow-up. Players identified as strong academic and athletic fits may receive direct communication from the coaching staff following the event. Post-camp materials for Elite and Elite Data registrants will be delivered after the event.
