Professional ID Camp
A unique opportunity for aspiring players to showcase their talent directly in front of professional coaches and club representatives from both the United States and Germany. Designed for serious players ages 18-24, this exclusive event brings together elite coaching and live player evaluations in a highly competitive environment.
Participants will train alongside other ambitious athletes while receiving instruction from experienced professionals representing the Tampa Bay Rowdies, SV Viktoria Aschaffenburg, and FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt. Throughout the camp, players will be evaluated on their technical ability, tactical awareness, athleticism, and overall potential to compete at higher levels of the game.

Outstanding performers may earn invitations for future trials and additional evaluation opportunities with attending clubs. Whether your goal is to continue your development, gain exposure, or pursue a professional contract, this camp offers a valuable platform to be seen by decision-makers from respected organizations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
With limited spots available to ensure maximum visibility and personalized evaluation, early registration is strongly encouraged. Don't miss this chance to train like a professional, learn from experienced coaches, and take the next step toward achieving your soccer ambitions.
