College soccer ID camps for Alaska players
Alaska has no college soccer programs right now, so Alaska players travel for ID camps. Here is where most families start.
ID camps outside Alaska
None of the NCAA, NAIA or NJCAA lists we used include a soccer program at a college in Alaska, so players from the state go to ID camps somewhere else. Most families start in the Pacific Northwest, where Washington and Oregon have the most programs within one flight, and most college camps take players from any state.
Pick the schools first, then the camps. Read how ID camps work, email the coaches before you book travel, and use our guide on emailing college coaches for sample notes. Recruitly lets you email every coach on your list from your own inbox.

Alaska ID camp questions
Are there college soccer ID camps in Alaska?
Not ones run by Alaska colleges, because no college in the state fields a soccer team in the NCAA, NAIA or NJCAA lists we checked. Players from Alaska usually go to camps in Washington, Oregon and other western states.
Should I email the coaches before an ID camp?
Yes, if you can. A short note before camp tells the staff who you are, what position you play and which session you signed up for, and a thank-you afterward keeps the conversation going. Our guide on emailing college coaches has sample emails.
How do I plan a trip to an out-of-state ID camp?
Pick a few schools you would really attend, email those coaches first, and look for camps that fall close together on the calendar so one trip gets you seen by more than one staff.
