Colby Nesbit - Current UAH Player.

"The biggest reason I came to play at UAH was due to the ID Camps. Before going to any camps, I was not being recruited simply because the coaches didn’t know who I was. However, when I went to the residential ID Camp the summer after my junior year, I was lucky enough to catch the coaches’ eyes and started being recruited. At the camps, there are multiple opportunities to showcase your talents and to also have a little bit of fun. The camps I went to were not only great for soccer reasons, but they were also great for academic reasons. Coming to the camps allowed me to explore the campus more and found out from the players and coaches how the school was. Also, it was a way to meet future teammates. The people I met at the camps that are now on this team, I already had a strong bond with them which made life a little easier to get used to when I started college. Overall, going to the camps at UAH was a huge step forward for me for my athletic and academic career. I am now part of the UAH Men’s soccer team, and I wouldn’t do anything to change that."

Justin Alacantara - Current UAH Player.

“Attending the UAH ID camp is one of the best ways to showcase yourself in front of the coaching staff. In fact, The UAH ID camp gave me the opportunity to display my technical skills, tactical awareness, and work rate through their possession drills, small sided gameplay, and 11v11. After only attending one UAH ID camp, I fell in love with their culture and knew that I wanted to continue my soccer career and education there at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. However, I wasn’t recruited right away. Instead, I had to attend numerous ID camps before the coaches took notice in me. Therefore, I would encourage anyone trying to join the UAH Men’s Soccer team to attend as many of their ID camps as possible. I’m definitely glad I did because now I get to be a part of the UAH Men’s Soccer team.”

Tucker Watts – UAH Soccer Alumni.

“Coming to the Charger soccer camp was the best way for me to get exposure in front of the coaching staff and was my first involvement with the UAH program. During my camp experience, I fell in love with everything that UAH and Huntsville had to offer me. Combining this with the philosophy and culture that the coaches instilled in the program, it was a no-brainer that this was one of the best places to be in the country. With what I learned from the camps and the great coaches I played for, I was able to work my way up from coming into my first camp as an unknown player from St. Louis, Missouri, to becoming a team captain my Senior year. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to play for the blue and white, don’t think twice about it.”

Ethan Wilson - Current UAH Player

"In my opinion, attending the UAH ID Camps is the best way for a recruit to be noticed. For me, it was the main reason I was recruited to this school. I was able to showcase my abilities in all areas of the game including technical drills, possession, small sided games, and 11v11. Furthermore, it gave me the opportunity to meet not only the coaches, but also many of the players. I was able to ask them any questions I had about the school or the program when I may have felt uncomfortable asking the coach, and I got a head start on knowing them as my future teammates. I was also able to form a more personal relationship with the coach, which I wouldn’t have been able to do if he had only come to watch me play at a tournament. Attending the ID camps was the way I was able to become a part of the UAH Men’s Soccer Team, and I strongly encourage anyone looking to be a part of the team to do the same."

Deivi Bucio – Current UAH player.

“I came to the ID camps throughout all my 4 years of high school. I was interested in coming to this school for the academics it had to offer as well as the convenience of being so close to home. The ID camp gave me the ability to showcase my talents to the coaches as well as give me tips to what I can improve on. The ID camp led to my eventual commitment and now, I’m proud to say I’m part of the UAH men’s soccer team.”

James Fee – Current UAH player.

“The summer before my senior year I attended the residential camp at UAH. Before the camp, UAH was one my top schools that I was hoping to attend. The camp was very well organized, and it allowed every camper the opportunity to showcase their abilities. Another advantage of attending the camp was we were allowed to tour the campus and stay in the dorms. I immediately fell in love with the campus, and after the camp I was lucky enough to receive an offer to play at UAH. I immediately accepted the offer. I am currently a redshirt sophomore and I believe it was one of my best decisions ever to attend UAH. We have a great team. As well as the best facilities, we also have the best coaching staff that will hopefully lead us to many championships in the near future.”

“Going to the UAH ID camps when I was in high school definitely helped in my quest to play soccer at UAH. I got the opportunity to showcase myself in front of the coaching staff, meet some of the current players, which allowed me to experience the culture they had here, and have fun in a professional environment that replicated their style of training sessions. Overall, choosing to go to the UAH ID camps definitely paid off and greatly increased my chances of playing soccer here.”
