Twelve NWSL players, including nine who are overage for the U-23 U.S. women’s national team, will join the squad for a January training camp at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, Calif., from Jan. 3-10.

The camp will run simultaneously with the senior U.S. women’s national team camp, allowing U.S. coach Jill Ellis and her staff to evaluate all 24 players, five months prior to the 2015 World Cup.
