Ava Priest and Faith Leyba will attend the first-of-its kind ID camp
ATLANTA – Colorado soccer standouts, Ava Priest and Faith Leyba, were two of 42 players selected to participate in the upcoming U.S. Women's College Talent ID Camp, announced by U.S. Soccer on Monday.
The first-of-its-kind camp will take place from June 18-22 in Atlanta, home of the new Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center.
The camp is part of the growing U.S. Youth National Teams' scouting strategy with the objective of increasing programming opportunities for college-specific players with high potential and therefore expanding the U.S. Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 Women's National Team player pools.
All of the field players invited to this camp have limited prior programming with the U.S. Soccer's Youth National Teams. The camp will be a collaboration between the Talent ID staff, the U.S. Youth National Teams' head coaches and USWNT staff.
The camp will take place at McCurry Park in Atlanta with the 41 players selected from the 2005, 2006 and 2007 birth years, and one goalkeeper born in 2008. The five-day camp will consist of three training sessions and two intrasquad matches. The overall pool of 42 players will be divided into two teams for camp.
There are 28 different colleges represented on the roster. Colorado is one of 11 colleges with multiple players called up.
