<p>It started as a warm 83 degrees at Foothill College, but as the temperature slowly climbed it was obvious that their fitness level and mental fortitude would be tested during the 4 hour event.</p>

<p>The coaches started them with stretching/dynamic warmup drills, then it moved to small stations to test specific skills. There were essentially 4 stations and each featured an activity to evaluate players. The camp ended with a scrimmage showcasing their technical abilities.</p>

<p>Scouts and coaches were looking at their strengths, endurance, and recovery. Also, other factors that separated players were coachability, body language, and a positive attitude.</p>

<p>Although the camp featured many recognized high school and club players in the Prep Soccer system, a few of them clearly stood out and left an indelible impression. Notable players included by positions:</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Defenders: [player_tooltip player_id='199887' first='Cassandra' last='Travers'], [player_tooltip player_id='83836' first='Taylor' last='Bellotti'], and [player_tooltip player_id='172607' first='Elyssa' last='Hernandez']</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Midfielders: [player_tooltip player_id='148079' first='Maycee' last='Kirby'] and [player_tooltip player_id='99198' first='Savannah' last='Leifried']</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Forwards: [player_tooltip player_id='112485' first='Isabella' last='Fernandez'] and [player_tooltip player_id='202683' first='Jayla' last='Swindle'] </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Goalkeepers: [player_tooltip player_id='19134' first='Aubrey' last='McLin'], [player_tooltip player_id='111116' first='Dahlia' last='Scanlon'], and [player_tooltip player_id='146256' first='Molly' last='McBride']</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>In summary, not only are some of these players top California prospects, but a few of them are National Team call-ups. I can't wait to evaluate them during club play and see them on their journey to the next level and possibly beyond.</p>
