U.S. UNDER-17 MNT WRAPS UP 26-PLAYER MINI-CAMP IN BRADENTON, FLA.: U.S. Under-17 Men’s National Team head coach Wilmer Cabrera held a mini-camp with 26 players from April 23-27 at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. The players brought into the camp were all born in 1992 and 1993, meaning they are all eligible for the 2009 FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Nigeria. Of the players called in to compete for a place in U.S. Soccer’s Under-17 Men’s National Team Residency Program, 15 are a part of U.S. Soccer’s Development Academy. Full-time Academy scout Tony Lepore, who was instrumental in the player selection, joined Under-15 BNT head coach Jim Barlow and assistant coach Rene Miramontes in Bradenton, to assist Cabrera and his full time Residency coaches.
