The U.S. U18 Men's National Team is headed to Florida for a domestic training camp. The action kicks off on January 17 and wraps up on January 23. This is the first camp for new head coach Omid Namazi, who was hired to replace former U.S. U18 MNT head coach Javier Perez. Perez is now the assistant coach with New York City FC. 

Namazi and his coaching staff have called in 36 players for the domestic camp.
