Rodman, a 19-year-old forward, will join six Washington Spirit teammates at a 10-day, 25-player training camp in Austin, starting Jan. 19. No matches are scheduled, but the call-up positions her for possible selection to the SheBelieves Cup roster next month, the first competition in the buildup to World Cup and Olympic qualifying this summer.
Coach Vlatko Andonovski is aiming to retool a frontline that has featured largely the same players for years: Megan Rapinoe, Tobin Heath, Alex Morgan, Christen Press and Carli Lloyd. Their average age last fall was 34.6. None were chosen for this camp, though all except Lloyd, who retired last year, remain in the mix.
