Interesting that not one player from LA or OC can make this roster but there is 4 from SD Surf.
It's not what you know or who you know, it's what you know about who you know.
It's even more lopsided when one considers that SD Surf has 3 players on the U17 roster, for which the 2006's are age-eligible also.
U-17 U.S. WYNT Continues World Cup Qualifying Prep With Florida Training Camp
Head Coach Natalia Astrain Calls 26 Players to IMG Academy from Feb. 10-17; 2022 Concacaf U-17 Women’s Championship Set for April 23-May 8 in Dominican Republic
SD Surf had 7 players on the u15 YNT last year. Now they only have 4…SD Surf probably in decline.
Makes one wonder if this is truly the best list of players, or if it's the best list of players at clubs that US Soccer favors.
Congratulations to the girls who made it. However the list was made the accomplishment should be celebrated.

wondering how many dual nationals are on these teams...All else being equal a dual national is probably going to get the edge
Why so?
I would think you would want a dual national in your program early so when the time comes for them to choose you should have a built in advantage.
Interesting cuz I know some girls who turned out for Mexican YNT because they didn't play at a US Soccer favored club. US Soccer's loss, not theirs.
It's also interesting how the ladies are treated as opposed to the boys. There's always drama surrounding boys who are dually eligible for Mexico and US, and the talent level seems to be the determining factor. Whereas with girls, they'll willingly let someone go play for Mexican YNT like it's no problem.
I think the USWNT probably have a little advantage in being the best in the world that if these girls turn out to be strong enough to be on the senior team they can probably go back to them before they are cap tied and have a pretty decent shot in landing them
This is all second hand information, but I was told after losing out on Jonathan Gonzalez the US has been putting more focus on dual nationals . Not sure what that focus entails . Turns out Jonathan Gonzalez was not a can't miss product, but I believe at the time he was starting CB at 18 for one of the top clubs in Liga MX
The "advantage" being that you already have them on a national roster?
Who gets bumped off the roster to pursue that theory?
well in the case of MNT , Landon Donovan when JK decided to put Julian Green on the 2014 WC roster
I’m biased because she plays for my daughters club but there’s a girl who is dual National that didn’t make this list that should have IMO, regardless of Nationality. Being dual didn’t help her.
I probably should have asked, I wonder if dual nationals are playing into the selection of the YNT? ...
but based on the responses, does not appear so , at least not on the girl's side
I had some sour grapes when my kid missed making the first ever U14 YNT. I think she was robed but I did piss off two of the Docs who did the local picking....lol! I was way more concerned trying to get my child's players card from one Doc to another so she could help her friends win the Natty. Plus, I had no clue they did the actual picking that year. I have no idea how this group was picked but they were picked and I hope they all do amazing for our country. I do mean that 100%. It looks like Surf is producing the top talent in Socal. I also think with all the Elite Leagues in Socal, we should all be happy our kids are playing elite soccer at some level.
how are the teams picked
scouts that work for US soccer , then bring a group to a camp and select from there?
Anyone know who the scouts are for US soccer in Southern California ?
Sit down bro, this might take some time. You see back in 2016, all the 04s and some of the top 05s were told about this new league called the Girls Development Academy that was forming in 2017. No one knew what clubs were going to get in the league but rumor had it that Surf 100% and maybe not Blues because they had no fields, no money, no full rides and no top A License coaches, just damn good recruiters who knew how to poach the top players from other clubs. Training Centers started to pop up in Norco and San Diego. The Docs from the clubs ran these Training Centers with the Scouts. Some Docs were also scouts I found out later and they had the power to pick the selection based on his opinion. Not all clubs had the Doc and head Training Center Director all in one. Anyway, my dd was told 100% she better be invited to the training center first and then find a club that supports the TC. Blues at the time was not into sending their kids to no TC, because the Blues was the TC. US Soccer was not happy with kickball and just recruiting the best players from other clubs to win. Are you still with me bro? Anyway, you had to be a part of the GDA and kiss ass to the docs basically and 100% STFU. Today list is anyone's guess. Please dont hate me for sharing my experience. Like I said, congrats to everyone who made the list.
