U. S. Under 19-National Team roster Trinidad & Tobago

U.S. U-19 National Team Head Coach Tracy Leone

This team is on a mission. The first part is to qualify for Canada. The team knows there is no August without May, so we are extremely excited about the chance to compete for a spot in a world championship. The team is bouncing off the walls, but they know they must focus on the first game and do what we need to do. The development of this team is a reflection of the tremendous investment from the U.S. Soccer Federation. The players and staff certainly realize and appreciate how fortunate we are to be given the resources to train and prepare for this historic event. U.S. Soccer has made this team a priority and I think the team has given back that same enthusiasm. As a coaching staff, our job is fifty percent to prepare them to qualify and win a world championship and fifty percent to prepare them for the next level. I think we have accomplished great things on both sides.

U.S. Captain Lindsay Tarpley

I feel lucky to have the opportunity to play with these girls and represent the United States. Our success on the field is definitely a reflection of our great chemistry off the field. We work very hard for each other because we know the person next to us is going to fight to the end. Part of that can be seen in our coming together to support the prevention of skin cancer. We feel that as role models we can inspire young girls on the field and in their everyday lives.
