U.S. U-14 BNT heads to Croatia for training camp running May 7-17
CHICAGO (Via U.S. Soccer) – U.S. Under-14 Boys’ National Team head coach Brian Johnson has called in 20 players for the team’s second foreign, and fourth overall, training camp of 2015 to be held in Zagreb, Croatia.
The camp will run from May 7-17 and it will include matches against Croatia’s U-14s on May 11, and against Serbia on May 15. Additionally, the U.S. U-14 BNT will play a third opponent yet to be determined on May 13.
The U-14s most recently held an eight-day camp in Carson, California, in late April. The team’s practice schedule coincided with the U-23s preparation for their match against Mexico on April 23, also in Carson. This provided an opportunity for the youngest and oldest age groups in U.S. Soccer’s Youth National Team program to get together and have some fun while sharing valuable lessons.
