Five players have been called up for an Under 17 training camp with Canada which starts today in the United States and finishes next week in Jamaica.
Goalkeeper Xander Huggins, defender Parker Seymour, midfielders Kevin Aleman and Dylan Carreiro and forward Jalen Broome are all in the squad for the camp which will also includes three matches.
Canada will play against the USA in Fort Lauderdale, FL as well as a pair of international matches in Kingston, Jamaica.
Canada’s Under 15 squad also kicks off a camp today at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.
The squad features 24 young players making their debut in the Canadian national system including three players from Toronto FC Academy - midfielders Adam Bradshaw, Michael Wagenknecht and Michael Petrasso.
"This will be a chance to get an early look at this age group," said Canada U15 coach Ray Clark. "It will allow us to get an indication of the talent available and how the players stack up against one of the better CONCACAF countries. The two matches against USA will also provide valuable international experience for the players as they move through our national program."
