 FC Milwaukee midfielder Ally Andreini (Oshkosh West) was one of 81 players invited to the Elite Clubs National League/US Club Soccer id2 National Training Camp last month in Tallahassee, Fla.
The four-day camp for players born in 1994 and '95 included U.S. Soccer women’s development director Jill Ellis, U.S. Soccer technical adviser Mike Dickey and coaches from more than 30 college teams across the country.
Players from 44 clubs and 26 states also participated in off-field presentations, including one done by former U.S. women’s national team stars Mia Hamm and Kristine Lilly.
An 18-player select team will be chosen from the camp for an international trip, tentatively planned for Europe in late July.
