October 2025
The following list outlines my first and second-choice elevens for the 2006 (U-20), 2007 (U-19), 2008 (U-18), 2009 (U-17), 2010 (U-16), and 2011 (U-15) age groups. This isn’t necessarily what each United States Youth National Team should look like, as some players are talented enough to play above their age group. I’ve only included players who are not provisionally cap-tied to other countries. You can find the top U.S.-eligible youth players who are provisionally cap-tied at the bottom of this page.
