The U.S. Under-16 Women’s Youth National Team will come together from March 1-7 for a training camp at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, Calif.

U.S. U-16 WYNT head coach Patchy Toledo has named 22 players born in 2007 and one, midfielder Kimmi Ascanio, born in 2008.

Fourteen of players on this roster helped the USA win the 2022 Concacaf Girls’ U-15 Championship in August of 2022: goalkeepers Molly Vapensky and Kennedy Zorn, defenders Mya Brandon, Maddie Costello, Alexis Coughlin, Jordyn Hardeman and Kai Price, midfielders Kennedy Fuller, Ainsley McCammon and Katie Scott, and forwards Ava Harrison, Carrie Helfrich, Ayva Jordan and Alexandra Pfeiffer. The USA routed Canada, 4-1, in the championship game. Fuller led the USA in scoring in that tournament with nine goals and was awarded the Golden Ball as the top player in the tournament.

The 23 players in this training camp come from 15 different youth clubs with three from Solar SC in Texas.
