U.S. Soccer has selected 40 players for its U-17 boys residency camp in Bradenton, Fla. Sixteen newcomers join 24 returnees.
Most of the returning players were born in 1988, will be graduating in December and are vying for a spot on roster for the U-17 World Cup (Sept. 16-Oct. 2).
Most of the 16 newcomers are vintage 1990 and embark on the two-year cycle toward the 2007 U-17 World Cup in South Korea.
