Junior High Performance Announces Rosters for Women’s U-16 & Rise Series Against Canada

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Following a training camp last weekend, the Junior High Performance Staff has established the U.S. U-16 and Rise Women’s National Team rosters that will compete against Canada, in two separate series in different countries. Taking place from April 20 through 24, each squad will play a four-game series against their Canada counterpart.

The U-16 USWNT will travel to play Canada’s U-16 Team in Surrey and Vancouver, British Columbia. These matches will be live tweeted on Canada’s Twitter.

“We made strides last weekend with a lot of tactical information,” said Katie Bam, U-16 USWNT Head Coach. “The athletes were asked to try new things, step out of their comfort zones and they definitely didn’t disappoint. Once again, these athletes made selections very challenging.  I can’t wait to see how well we’ve retained the valuable information once we step on that pitch in Canada.”
