Emma Hayes named her 24-player roster for the U.S. women’s national team Futures Camp this week, providing another glimpse into her long-term strategy for the program. The camp features players younger than 23 years old and will run parallel to the January camp for senior national team players next week in Carson, Calif.

Coach Emma Hayes has invited 24 players into a Futures Camp to run concurrently with the U.S. team's annual January training camp. Ten college players and 14 professional players are on the roster, including 13 from the National Women’s Soccer League and one from the USL Super League.

Although there won’t be any games because this camp takes place outside of a FIFA international window, it will give many new names the chance to impress.

Hayes, as promised, will continue to explore the depth of the goalkeeping pool following Alyssa Naeher’s retirement, calling up Angelina Anderson and Claudia Dickey for their first caps. In addition, defenders Nealy Martin, Tara McKeown and Ryan Williams, plus forward Ella Stevens, round out the six new players to the USWNT environment.
