CHICAGO – Manny Perez of the NC State men's soccer team has been called up to train with some of the best players in the nation at the first-ever United States Men's Soccer Youth National Team Summit Camp, the United States Soccer Federation announced recently.
Former Wolfpack men's soccer legend and current U.S. Soccer Youth Technical Director Tab Ramos is leading the camp, and has selected 153 players for the U-16, U-17, U-18, U-19, and U-20 Youth National Teams. Perez was chosen to the U-20 squad as a defender.
With the 2018-19 player cycle officially kicking off at the turn of the new year, Ramos and the coaching staff will look to continue fostering a program-wide effort to develop world-class players and coaches at the summit, which represents a first of its kind youth training camp that will focus on integration between players, coaches, and staff from the five oldest Youth National Teams, while laying the first foundational elements for qualifying the U.S. for the 2019 FIFA U-20 and U-17 World Cups.
"I am looking forward to building on the success our Youth National Teams had over the last two cycles (2014-15 and 2016-17)," Ramos said. "This first-ever Men's YNT Summit Camp provides all of our teams the opportunity to build and continue the development of our style of play in one location together."
