The event will be held in accordance with U.S. Soccer’s comprehensive Return to Play protocols. U.S. Soccer is requiring all staff and players be fully vaccinated in order to attend YNT training camps. As a leader in the sport, the health and safety of all participants is the top priority for the Federation. 

Players born on or after Jan. 1, 2005, are age-eligible for next spring’s Concacaf U-17 Women’s Championship. The 28-player roster features 23 players born in 2005, four born in 2006 and one born in 2007 -- San Diego Surf forward Melanie Barcenas. Twenty-two players return from the team’s October training camp, while six players make their U-17 USWNT debut: defender Savannah King, midfielders Anna Castenfelt and Charlotte Kohler as well as forwards Erica Grilione, Madison Krakower and Taylor Suarez. The roster is made up of players from 13 states and 21 youth clubs, with the most, 10 coming from California and three players each from the NC Courage and the San Diego Surf.

The 2022 Concacaf U-17 Women’s Championship will qualify three teams to the 2022 FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup in India. The U-17s are preparing for their first World Cup qualifying tournament since 2018 after the 2020 edition, scheduled for March of that year, was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Two players on the U-17 roster took home a regional title at the 2018 Concacaf U-15 Girls’ Championship - defenders Maggie Taitano and Gisele Thompson. While that tournament featured mostly 2003-birth year players, the USA brought a younger squad composed of players born in 2004 and 2005. Taitano and Thompson were among the team’s youngest players.
