US Soccer just finished a USYNT January camp for U18, U19, and U20s in Mesa, Arizona, from Jan 10-16. This camp featured 16 players from each age group, and all three squads trained together. It was an opportunity for US coaches to look at a group of players that they were less familiar with, including 14 college players. These recent camps highlight some of the USSF\u2019s commitment to the college game.<\/p>\n
