The Under-16 Girls’ National Team will hold its second camp of the year, coming together from March 18-25 at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center in San Diego.

Head coach Jaime Frias has called up 24 players, all born in 2002. This group of players moved up from the U-14 level last year and will spend two years as the U-16 GNT before moving on to the U-18s. These players are all age-eligible for the 2018 U-17 Women’s World Cup, which has an age cut-off of players born on or after January 1, 2001, but will eventually be the core age group for the team that will attempt to qualify for the U-20 Women’s World Cup in 2022.

Fifteen of the players in this camp attended the first camp of the year in January in San Diego.
