Rising stars Alyssa Thompson, Jaedyn Shaw and Olivia Moultrie — all 18 years old — have an opportunity with USWNT during October training camp.
women's national team was eliminated in the round of 16 of the World Cup, its worst finish in major tournament history, the retiring legend said that a bright spot for the program moving forward was that"the kids are taking over."
As has been discussed at length following the World Cup, the USWNT is in a period of transition. Sporting director Matt Crocker and the U.S. Soccer Federation are in the final stages of hiring a new head coach. Leaders like Rapinoe andOne of the criticisms of the USWNT this summer was that it was caught between generations. Much had been made about the fact that the American side was a mix of older veterans who had won the two previous World Cups and those 14 players who had never played in one.
"It's really important that we create a pathway for them to integrate into the environment and learn from it so that they can take advantage of their time when they're in the environment, but also when they're in their home markets," Kilgore said. Moultrie first made headlines when she was 13 after her family moved from California to Oregon so she could train with the Portland Thorns. At the time, the NWSL had a rule that all players had to be 18. So while she could practice with the club, she was sidelined on game days.which created opportunities for teens like her to forgo college and head straight to the pros just like they do on the men's side.
"This is somebody that could potentially be a generational talent," Kilgore said."And it's really, really important that we continue to support her as she goes along this journey."
