Forty-eight players called to U.S. U-14 Girls National Team camp in Carson, Calif.
CHICAGO (Via U.S. Soccer) – U.S. Under-14 Girls’ National Team head coach April Kater has called up 48 players for the first U.S. Under-14 Girls’ National Team training camp of the year which will run from March 19-26 at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, Calif.
The majority of the players were born in 2002, but 14 were born in 2003. The U.S U-14 GNT did not have programming last year as players born in odd years start with two years in the U-15 Girls’ National Team program. For this cycle, with the majority of players born in an even year, which are the age-cut-off years for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, the players follow the path of one year as U-14s and then move to the Under-16 GNT (2 years), Under-18 WNT (2 years) and Under-20 WNT (2 years).

The players are starting the path that for some may lead to the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. For all of these players but two, this will be the first experience in the U.S. YNT program.
