U15 GNT comes together for Thanksgiving camp
November 16, 2011
The U.S. Under-15 Girls’ National Team, under the direction of head coach Damon Nahas, will come together for a training camp at The Home Depot Center running from November 20-27.
Nahas has called in 24 players, most born in 1996 and 1997. All of the players are age-eligible for the 2012 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, which has an age cut-off of players born on or after Jan. 1, 1995.
The roster does include three players born in 1995, which is the age group that will form the core of the team attempting to qualify next spring for the Women’s World Cup in Azerbaijan next fall, so the coaching staff can evaluate them in a training environment for possible inclusion in future U.S. U-17 events.
