U-15 USWYNT: Third camp of 2025 announced, just nine players previously attended a camp this cycle

The third training camp of the 2024-25 cycle for the United States Under-15 Women’s Youth National Team camp will have just five players who attended both of the prior camps this cycle, which were in September 2024 and November 2024. Four additional players were called into the first camp.

Of the remaining fifteen players called in for this current camp, which runs from Tuesday, April 22, to Tuesday, April 29, most previously attended two Under-14 national identification camps in the first half of 2024 (March and June).

Four players are apparently attending their first national U.S. Soccer camp.

Leading this camp is the just-announced new head coach of the U-15 USWYNT, Vanessa Mann, who was briefly an assistant coach with the Utah Royals of the National Women’s Soccer League in 2024. The former coach, Ciara Crinion, is now the full-time head coach of the U-16 USWYNT, and will transition with the current U-16 players to the U-17 USWYNT later this year.

The five players who attended both of the previous camps this cycle are goalkeeper Molly Gaffney; defenders Cassandra “Cassie” Travers and Gigi Zuniga, plus forwards Riley Rountree and Sadie Siedel.

The four players returning from the September 2024 camp are defenders Ally Damron and Kylie Guerrero, plus midfielders Isabella Ortiz and Kiyomi Yoshimura.

The camp will be held in Fayetteville, Georgia. All 24 players were born in 2010.
