Women All-Stars Ready for Florida

Laura Hetherman from UConn is one of 215 athletes looking to make an impact. Colleen McCloskey photo.

Tigertown in Lakeland, Fla. will host the Women's National All-Star competition Dec 28-Jan 3 with eight teams covering all levels and featuring 215 athletes looking to break into the US national teams.

Four senior teams, two college-level (U23) teams, and two U20 teams will play during the assembly under separate coaching staffs. The idea is to ue this as a selection vehicle for the Junior All Americans, Collegiate All Americans, and USA senior teams.

The event will also be a coaching development tool, and young and up-and-coming coaches work with some established coaches to give all more high-level experience.

We have divided the list of athletes by the type of team they play for - senior, college, or high school. This does not mean those players will play together. Some club players will be U23, and some college players will be U20.
