U.S. U-15 and U-14 Girls’ National Teams to hold concurrent camps in Cary, N.C.
The U.S. Under-15 and Under-14 Girls’ National Teams will hold concurrent training camps in Cary, N.C. from Oct. 20-28 under the direction of U-15 GNT head coach Damon Nahas and U.S. Soccer Director of Women’s Development Jill Ellis, who have called up a total of 60 of the top players born in 1997, 1998 and 1999.
The U-14s will begin on Oct. 20 while the U-15s start on the 21st. Nahas has called in 32 players for the U-15 camp, almost all born in 1997, but has included three players born in 1998 (forward Mia Gyau from the Bethesda Lions, forward Maddie Schultz from Northwest Nationals and midfielder Mary-Alice Vignola from Ohio Elite Academy) to give them more experience with the older age group as this team enters its final U-15 event before transitioning to U-17s for the next cycle when they will attempt to qualify for the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica. Ellis called 28 into the U-14 camp, most born 1998 with two born in 1999. Both teams will scrimmage local club teams during the week.
