GIRLS GK COLLEGE ID CAMP
More Than a Position. A Presence.
Our Goalkeeper ID Camp gives serious, driven athletes the opportunity to train in a college environment, experience life on a university campus, and be seen by college coaches who are looking for the next generation of goalkeepers.
Led by college goalkeeper coaches and high-level players, the camp provides a close-up look at the college game through goalkeeper-specific training, competitive sessions, and meaningful time with coaches. Players will have the opportunity to showcase their abilities, receive feedback from college coaches, and get a feel for what the college soccer experience is really like.
It’s more than a chance to train. It’s an opportunity to experience the environment, meet coaches, and begin to see where you might fit at the next level.

GIRLS JR. ELITE CAMP
SUMMER CAMP DATE: TBD
Where Elite Players Come to Grow
Our Girls Junior Elite Camp is designed for advanced youth players who are ready to grow their skills, understanding of the game, and confidence on the field. Directed by the Pepperdine women’s soccer coaching staff and supported by top club and college coaches, players receive high-level training in a challenging and encouraging environment.
Throughout the week, we put just as much emphasis on who players are becoming as the soccer they are learning. Our coaches believe that character, leadership, and the way you treat others are a big part of becoming a great player. It’s about learning to compete with purpose, lead with heart, and bring those qualities into everything you do.
Better players. Better people.
BOYS AND GIRLS DAY CAMPS
Date-TBD
Where the Love of the Game Begins
Our Boys & Girls Day Camp is where young players come to learn, play, make new friends, and have a whole lot of fun. Campers build great soccer skills through engaging, age-appropriate training while being surrounded by coaches and staff who genuinely enjoy working with kids.
But what makes Day Camp special is how kids feel when they leave. They’ve had fun, they’ve grown as players, and they’re already asking when they can come back. For more than 30 years, we’ve watched young players return to MSA summer after summer, growing with the game and becoming part of the MSA family.
Come for the soccer. Stay for the memories. Come back for more.
MORE THAN A CAMP…
For more than 30 years, Malibu Soccer Academy has been a Southern California summer tradition, welcoming generations of young players to Pepperdine University. What started nearly three decades ago has grown into a camp families return to year after year — a place where kids come to play, grow, make friends, and fall in love with the game.
Founded by Pepperdine Women’s Soccer Head Coach Tim Ward and his wife, Shelby, MSA is built around a simple belief: The “Beautiful Game” can help develop better players and better people. Our experienced and caring staff brings years of knowledge and a genuine love for working with young players, combining quality soccer training with the character, confidence, and values that stay with them long after camp ends.
Set on the beautiful Malibu Coast, campers train on Pepperdine’s fields, learn from top coaches and collegiate players, and enjoy the cool coastal breeze. After more than three decades of success, we’re proud to be a camp where kids don’t just have a great week, they want to come back and be part of the MSA family year after year.
