Â
"Kylie has worked extremely hard on her game since she arrived last July and is well deserving of this opportunity," head coach Tom Stone said. "She will be competing with and against many of the best players in the U.S. and will be able to apply the lessons taught and learned from being immersed at that level. We are excited for Kylie to have this opportunity. "

The U.S. U-20 Women's Youth National Team will hold a training camp from April 15-22 and there will be a combined U-18/U-19 Women's Youth National Team training camp running from April 12-19. The teams will train at the WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., at the University of North Carolina and at Duke University over the course of the camps.
