U.S. Soccer has announced the rosters for the U.S. U-18, U-19 and U-20 Men’s National Team combined training camp to take place January 10-16 at Arizona Athletic Grounds in Mesa, Ariz.

“We’re excited to utilize the January camp to evaluate this group of players in a combined environment,” said Barry Pauwels, Head of Development for Men’s Youth National Teams. “The national team provides a unique platform that complements the daily club environment, enabling us to accelerate player development by supporting each individual within the specific context of their journey.”

The combined camp is part of the Federation’s continued focus on the U.S. Way philosophy, which emphasizes increased programming for Youth National Teams to create more opportunities for young players to advance through the pathway to the senior National Team with the goal of representing their country at a world championship.

Held outside of a FIFA international window, the camp brings together 16 domestic-based players each from the 2006, 2007 and 2008 birth year groups, allowing the Men’s Youth National Team technical staff to give broader evaluation to each player pool while also providing integrated positional training between each age group.

Of the 48 players summoned to Arizona, 31 come from 19 different Major League Soccer club setups. The timing of the camp in January also provides an opportune window to evaluate players from the collegiate ranks, with 14 different players representing NCAA Division 1 programs across the country.

The rosters are rounded out by one player each from the USL Championship, USL League One and MLS Next.

Head coaches Rob Valentino (U-20 MNT), Gonzalo Segares (U-19 MNT) and Jeremy Hall (U-18 MNT) will all lead their respective groups, with assistance from Alex Aldaz (U-17 MNT), Paul Simpson (U-16 BNT) and Ross Brady (U-15 BNT).
