U18 MNT Camp

[TheTank123]

Just a quick FYI: Both Wil Trapp and DeAndre Yedlin will be attending the U18 MNT camp in Portland, OR from April 16-24th. Bryan Gallego never seems to go these camps but is the captain of the U18 MNT so I assume he will be on their next road trip. Coach Porter texted DeA telling him that he would see him there so this is a great opportunity for both the players and coach to become better acquainted with one another. Plus, you know Coach Porter will be throwing out "Now if this was Akron's system, I'd want you to do this..." which will only help the learning curve.

That's great that Porter will be there with these guys, especially since they cannot be in Akron this Spring.

Is Caleb listed as a part of the coaching staff, guest instructor...? Inquiring minds...

I can tell you that in the last camp DeA went to he was an official assistant along with Vidovich from Wake and Lolla from Louisville. I know Porter has gone out of the country a few times with the team so my guess is that he is a permanent assistant coach (notice how there aren't any spring games scheduled during this week).

Yep, he'll continue to assist with the U-18 this summer. After Portland, its onto Lisbon, Portugal in May, and then to Northern Ireland for a International Tournament in July. The only reason I know, is I asked Coach Porter himself back in February First question in the video

I'm curious to see if Porter will continue to assist with the youth programs next year. I know he's been working with the US U-18 the last two years and he like to takeover Coach Sweats job someday.

I knew I had heard him say it somewhere, I just couldn't remember where. Good find. And he'd be crazy not to continue, it's the perfect recruiting tool.

Some more info from U18 camp. Coach Porter is the only Assistant Coach on the roster (other than the GK coach) so we know he's going to be working closely with all the kids. They did SPARQ testing yesterday (Nike's sport specific speed/power/fitness testing) measuring the 20 yard dash, the arrow run, the vertical jump, and the Beep Test.
