Over the course of the past few months, U.S. Soccer's scouting network has been holding combines in major cities across the country, as a way to identify and recognize some of the best players born in 1996 and 1997. The culmination of these regional events is a four-day national combine that will kick off from Portland, Oregon on August 9. 

U.S. Soccer Director of Scouting Tony Lepore will be running the combine of 60 players. U.S. U18 Men's National Team head Javier Perez is expected to call in some of the top performers from the combine for the next cycle with that age group, which kick off its next camp in Southern California later this month.
