The U.S. Under-19 women’s youth national team will compete at the 2023 Pan American Games. Head coach Carrie Kveton has named an 18-player roster that will travel to the competition for the first time since 2007. The Pan American Games is a multi-sport event featuring Olympic summer sports. The tournament is generally held in the Americas and the 2023 competition is scheduled to begin on Oct. 20 in Santiago, Chile.
“We have a lot of up-and-coming players on this roster who have some exciting potential, so this tournament will be a great experience for them,” said Kveton.
“We’re a young team, but the players have had some experience playing together and our coaching staff has worked with a lot of them in the past. It will be a huge challenge for our players to be immersed in the environment of a big tournament where the pressure is on to perform every game. We’re going to be playing against older players so we’ll see a higher level of physicality and speed which will be a good test for them to see where they are at in this stage of their careers.”
