The U.S. U17 Women’s National Team wrapped up its latest training camp last Monday, and sent 24 players back to their clubs. In the same breath, the U.S. U20 WNT called in 25 players to camp Southern California starting this coming Monday.

The top clubs have players coming and going during this busy season of girls’ youth national team camps, but even when the players are back it is not as easy as just plugging them into the lineup.

“The players have done an excellent job when they go back home of making sure they maintain their fitness, but at the same time, not being overworked,” U17 WNT head coach Albertin Montoya told TopDrawerSoccer.com. “A few camps back, it was an issue with the players doing too much.

“So I have to give credit to the club coaches because I know it is difficult for them. Most of the coaches that we have worked with and spoken to want these girls to be successful [on the national team], so I definitely want to thank them for that.”

And with a nearly full docket of games on the schedule for this weekend, there will be a few ECNL coaches faced with watching the minutes of returning players.
