Ottawa, Ontario – Canada’s Women’s National Team Head Coach, Even Pellerud, has released the names of the 16 women that will attend the team’s first training camp of the New Year. The camp will run from January 10-17 in Vancouver, BC.
“The upcoming camp in Vancouver kicks off a very big season for the Women’s team; a season that will conclude in November with the CONCACAF Women’s World Cup Qualifying tournament,” said Head Coach Even Pellerud from the U20 training camp in Sunrise, FL.
“There’s an interesting change in the balance of this roster. Earlier, we had to rely on a lot of our younger players based in NCAA schools, but now we see a large portion of that group graduating and the result is a far more ‘adult’ group of athletes.
Ottawa, Ontario – Even Pellerud, l’entraîneur-chef de l’équipe féminine de Coupe du Monde, a dévoilé les noms des 16 joueuses qui participeront au premier camp d’entraînement de la sélection nationale de l’année 2006. Le camp aura lieu du 10 au 17 janvier à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique.
« Ce camp à Vancouver annonce le point de départ d’une saison très importante pour l’équipe féminine, a affirmé Pellerud, qui assistait au camp d’entraînement des mois de 20 ans à Sunrise, en Floride. La saison ne finira qu’après le tournoi qualificatif de la Coupe du Monde de la CONCACAF, en novembre.
Il y a un changement intéressant dans l’équilibre de cet alignement, a-t-il poursuivi. Avant, il fallait compter sur des jeunes joueuses qui évoluaient au sein des équipes universitaires américaines, mais on voit maintenant qu’elles ont, pour la plupart, fini leurs études et le groupe d’athlètes est devenu plus « mûr ».
