United States U-14 national team Head Coach Clint Peay has called in four standouts from the Seattle Sounders Academy U-15 squad –—goalkeeper Wyatt Nelson and midfielders Reed Baker-Whiting, Josh Hardin and Antonio Herrera — for a West Regional Talent Identification Mini-Camp in Carson, Calif., from January 17-21.
As part of an initiative to increase the U.S. youth national team player pool, the federation will hold three, 80-player regional camps to further evaluate and scout the top talents from across the country. Each region is further divided into smaller territories, with the Western camp featuring teams comprised of the best players from the Northwest, Southwest, Los Angeles and Northern California.
