U15 & U16 U.S. Girls’ National Teams Set for May Training Camps

The U.S. Girls’ National Teams for Under-16 and Under-15 will hold overlapping training camps this May in Fayetteville, Georgia, giving young players a chance to develop their skills and potentially qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

A Glimpse at the Future of U.S. Soccer

These training camps will take place at the future site of the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center, which is still under construction. When completed, this facility will host most youth national team programs.

I believe these camps represent a critical investment in the future of American women’s soccer, helping maintain our global dominance in the sport for generations to come.

Notable Players to Watch

One standout player is Valentina Perrotta from the U-15 team, who already competes professionally with DC Power FC in the USL Super League. She’s gaining valuable experience that could make her a key prospect for future national teams.

The U-16 roster includes four players who helped the USA win the 2024 Concacaf Girls’ Under-15 Championship in Costa Rica: Caroline Swann, Bristol Kersh, Amari Manning, and Deus Stanislaus. These young women have already proven themselves on the international stage.
