U.S. U-18 Women’s National Team heads to Chula Vista for third training camp of 2012

The U.S. Under-18 Women’s National Team will come together from Oct. 21-28 at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., for the third and final training camp of the year for this age group.

U.S. Soccer Women’s Technical Director April Heinrichs has called up 24 players for the training camp, all born in 1996, as this age group represents the first event for the next cycle of the U-18s (the previous two U-18 training camps this year consisted mostly of players born in 1994). The cut-off for the next FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup is players born on or after Jan. 1, 1994, so this current group of U-18s is mostly focused on the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

The U.S. U-18s will face the San Diego SeaLions of the WPSL on Saturday, October 27, at 4 p.m. PT.
