<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Soccer Girls ID Camp was held in Torrance on Sunday. The event featured elite talent from all levels of California. Below is a scouting report on some of the outside backs who shined. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":383287,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"center"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/08/slack_upload_6a6fefa0993bf7.46834276_jordyn-gilmer.jpg?w=225" alt="" class="wp-image-383287"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["382834"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ffe1722165"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Easily one of the most impressive players on the day, Gilmer arrived with her shirt tucked in and her cleats spotless—a reflection of the professionalism she brought to every moment on the field. Behind a bright smile was a fiercely competitive player whose relentless approach made her one of the standout performers of the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gilmer excelled in the position-specific drills. She reacted quickly, defended confidently in 1v1 situations, and consistently played with her head up to make smart decisions in possession. She displayed all the qualities of a top outside back in the country for her age group and never looked out of place competing against older players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":383286,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"center"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/08/slack_upload_6a6fef3b04f0e1.40025914_sydney-roddick.jpg?w=225" alt="" class="wp-image-383286"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["222238"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ffe172221d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roddick was another outside back who was excellent in every event on Sunday. There was speed testing at the start where she finished near the top in every category. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The outside back was also a top performer during the position specific training. There were moments when she shined as a two-way player. She put in a couple of tough tackles to just stand up the opposition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roddick was also a bright spot during the 11 v 11 games. She has the quality to get into the attack with the ball at her feet. She can burst past players with her elite top speed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["383204"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ffe17222a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dingle stood out to me from her play in the position-specific training. The activity that relied on the outside backs to find outlet passes really played to her strengths. She is good on the ball with composure and excellent vision. She could ping a pass down the line with the best of them on the day. She was a standout in the 11v11 full field game as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["382599"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ffe1722307"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garcia impressed with the physical toughness she brought to the game. She did not back down from any challenge and got stuck in when the opportunity was there for her. The competitiveness she brought in the event helped raise the level of everyone. It also showcased how competitive she is every time she steps onto the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["293799"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ffe1722362"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Min had a couple of terrific finishes when her group moved to drills that were going to goal. She was elusive on the ball and quick to get her shot off. Two terrific traits for a wide player who can join the attack thanks to her soccer smarts and quick change of direction. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["307661"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ffe17223bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lloyd is a player with blistering pace as she finished near the top in all of the speed rating drills. Lloyd is a versatile player who can play in the midfield as well. She was deployed at outside back during the full field games and looked like a star in the making in that role. Speed, skill, and smarts, she's got the combo to be a top talent for a long time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
