[November 24, 2022 – Harmon, Guam] A Guam U14 Girls Academy team of 18 players will travel to Saipan over the Thanksgiving holiday for a training camp and a pair of friendly football matches against its Northern Mariana Islands counterpart.

“The objective of this training camp is to provide the young players the experience of an elite training environment outside of Guam, as well as to gain playing minutes in competitive matches as selected representatives of Guam in international football,” said Guam U14 Academy Head Coach Chyna Ramirez. “Gaining these experiences early on will be helpful in their football development moving up to the youth national team program. Not only will they be better prepared for future international matches at the upper age divisions, but they’ll also bring back these experiences to help in raising the level of their respective club teams.

“I believe the selected players are ready to test themselves in the upcoming matches. Over several months this year, they have been fortunate to also receive coaching and mentoring from various past and present coaches in the women’s program, including current Masakåda Head Coach Ross Awa, former Masakåda Head Coach Sakiko Ogura, Hannah Cruz, Keleko Fejeran, Isabella Bass, and Kiarra Hutcherson, among others,” Ramirez added. .....
