With the ongoing objective to expand and improve the Women’s Youth National Team player pool, U.S. Soccer will hold its second regional mini-camp of 2026 as part of the Under-14 Girls’ Talent Identification Program. Eighty players from the South Region, all born in 2012, will gather from March 18-22 at in Fayetteville, Ga., future home of the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center, which will open this spring.

Not only will this be an opportunity for some of the most talented young female players in the South Region to show their talents to National Team coaches and scouts, but the U-14 TID program provides more opportunities for female scouts and coaches as well. The entire coaching staff for the camp will be female with the U.S. Women’s National Team program, under head coach Emma Hayes, endeavoring to look at all women’s and girls’ development through a female lens.

The camp will be led by U.S. Talent ID managers Diane Drake (Southeast) and Illeana Moschos (South), who along with the other U.S. Soccer Regional Talent ID Managers will oversee eight female coaches who are all a part of the Women’s Youth National Team Scouting Network. There will also be a dedicated goalkeeper coach in camp. The coaches will lead and facilitate the players’ learning during the week of training, games and off field video analysis and education sessions. Adhering the maxim of “If you can see it, you can be it,” a large portion of the support staff will consist of women as well, who along with the coaching staff will give the players numerous female role models for the entire week of training camp. 

All 80 players come from the states of Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee or Texas.

The U-14 TID Program is designed to discover a larger base of high potential players through widespread scouting at the U-14 age group and to build the player pool foundation for the U-15 Girls’ National Teams while introducing them to The U.S. Way. The mini-camp format helps to evaluate and inspire high-potential players while accelerating their development in an engaging, supportive and challenging environment.

In addition to expanding the YNT player pool at its early stages, the scouting and identification structure gives U-14 players a meaningful opportunity to learn and apply basic principles of the U.S. Way playing philosophy and other high performance education topics such as nutrition, rest and recovery and self-evaluation tools to help them take further responsibility for their own development. Travel is minimized through the regional mini-camp set-up, helping minimize days away from home, school and club. The program also bolsters U.S. Soccer’s national network of scouts, advancing their education and development while also building the Federation’s connections with clubs across the country.

The West Region Mini-Camp was held in February in Southern California and there will be one more U-14 TID Mini-Camp this year, a North region camp in April in Atlanta.
