U.S. Soccer Talent ID Centers (IDCs) serve as an opportunity for the country’s top talents to train and play games under the direction of U.S. Soccer Talent Identification Managers and are designed to evaluate players for Youth National Team rosters. 

This is the second selection in the last two months for the U14 players. All five were invited to participate in a mini ID Camp at the Chula Vista Elite Training Center in March.
