The event equipment for American girls’s discipline hockey is grinding ahead lower than 4 years earlier than the Los Angeles Olympics.
Yesterday, the identities of gamers for choice camps for the U-16 and U-18 nationwide groups have been launched.
The standard panoply of fine gamers have been listed within the 46 athletes chosen for subsequent month’s U-16 camp, and for the 43 for the U-18 camp.
However let me draw your consideration to 6 gamers who’re going to be in a special place whereas these two age-group camps happen.
One is Reese D’Ariano, the homeschooled wunderkind who has been coaching just lately with the U.S. senior girls’s nationwide group in Charlotte after a spell in Europe. Now we have not gotten info whether or not she was a part of the U.S. sides who have been scheduled to fulfill a central European girls’s nationwide group earlier this month, however it should inform lots if she is chosen for the upcoming tour of New Zealand and/or the Nations Cup event for promotion to the FIH Professional League.
The opposite 5 scholastic gamers that caught my eye have been U-18 athletes who have been invited to the U-21 nationwide camp, which will likely be held the primary week of 2025.
Two of the gamers are from one of the best group within the nation, Pottstown Hill College (Pa.). Junior Opal Sparling, who has one of many hardest photographs within the nation, joins teammate Sofia Ferri, who can also be a junior. Each are also on the U.S. senior girls’s nationwide indoor group.
One other pair are from the identical highschool, Glenbrook (Sick.) South. Senior attacker Ella Seaside is the daughter of former U.S. captain Katie (Kauffman) Seaside, and, like her mom, is dedicated to the College of Maryland. Fellow senior Reese Anetsberger, headed to North Carolina, will likely be becoming a member of her on the camp.
The opposite scholastic participant within the U-21 group is Sofia Fildago Schioppa, the Princeton-bound attacker who’s a senior at Westport Staples (Conn.). Fildago has scored various clever targets for Staples as they gained the FCIAC/CIAC championship double.
I’m not saying you must print out this weblog entry and put it an envelope to check it to the names of the Olympic roster in 2028: a lot can occur to gamers of their lives and so they might not ever have an opportunity to tug on that USA jersey.
However who is aware of, proper?
