From U.S. Soccer

U.S. U18 Men's National Team head coach Mike Matkovich has called 36 players to The Home Depot Center in Carson, CA, for a week-long domestic training session.

The camp began Tuesday and will run through Oct. 13.

Matkovich's group includes 33 players who are currently part of U.S. Soccer's Development Academy, representing 23 different clubs. Seven clubs contribute more than one player, with PDA sending four players to camp in Carson: Daniel Metzger, Matthias Sheeleigh, Scott Thomsen and Matthew Wiltse.

Thirty-five of the 36 players were born in 1993, with Cal Oddysey defender Isaiah Trejo the lone invitee born in 1992.

The week-long camp will include friendlies against Development Academy clubs, including Arsenal, Chivas USA, LAFC and L.A. Galaxy before finishing in an intra-squad scrimmage the morning of Oct. 13.
