The 2004/2005 age group will be under the microscope next week in Columbia, South Carolina as 28 of the best players from the region will be taking part in the YNT Regional Identification Center. 

This is the second Talent ID Center of the year for this age group. There was one earlier in Florida. U.S. Youth National Team head coach Gonzalo Segares will be overseeing the one day training, which will also include a scrimmage. Cris da Silva, Matt Busch, John Trice, and Greg Vallee are also listed as the staff working the talent event. 

Twelve of the 28 players come from the Atlanta United Academy, including homegrown defender Efrain Morales. Eleven of the 28 players come from the Charlotte FC Academy. There is a strong MLS Academy influence on this roster.
