Girls Academy Talent ID brings in best from the West

The Girls Academy League hosts regional Talent Identification events across the country throughout the club season. City SC (California) was the host for one on Monday, May 30 that included the best players from the league in the Southwest and Mountain West Conferences. The goal of the regional talent identification is to give the top players in the area training experience against the best as well as the potential to scout the best from the league for potential cross-over training in the future as national and regional events. The Southwest and Mountain West have some of the best players in the league with highly ranked prospects alongside youth national team members. The training environment is sure to be one of the best from the regional events. There are a few uncommitted players that scouts should know from these rosters as the players and teams head toward the postseason. [player_tooltip player_id="18901" first="Emily" last="Davey"], West Coast FC - Davey has been part of the Girls Academy Talent ID program in the past so she is not a new name for this level. She is a speedy winger who has a bright future. She is a late 2006 birthday so she is part of the 2025 class, which means there is still some time before the recruiting game will pick up for her. She should still be on the radar though as she gets more opportunities against the best and older competition. Davey was part of the Orange County SC U17 at the USL Academy level. [player_tooltip player_id="32896" first="Grace" last="Thao"] and Tyler Rose also played on that team. Thao, a verbal commit to Colorado, finished the event as the team’s leading scorer. Davey scored a goal in one of the four wins for the squad. She is a winger who can get behind the defense and make the most of her chances. She is a player to watch in the Girls Academy. Emily Protiva, LA Surf - Protiva is a goalkeeper from the class of 2023 who is competing against the best of the 2005 age group at the event. She is very active off her line and has a ton of confidence in possession of the ball. She does well in providing an outlet for her defenders and would be a good fit for a program that puts pressure on the goalkeeper to support the center backs with a possible passing option while under threat from the attackers. Protiva is a solid shot-stopper and is capable of covering the whole goal. She is quick off her line on breakaways and does well in attacking the ball on crosses. Whitney Walker, City SC 05 - Walker is a five-foot-six center back for City SC who was identified as one of the top defenders in the conference. Her size and speed suggest that she could be an option at outside back as well. She plays as the left center back for her team. She is right-footed, but looks comfortable using either foot even while under pressure. She’s a hard tackler and has excellent recovery speed. Ella Humphrey, Albion SC San Diego 06 - Humphrey is a 2024 defender who impressed at the recent GA event in North Carolina. She covers ground quickly with long strides. She is good in aerial duels. She can be a shutdown defender on the wing. She is also a weapon in the attack as she has good vision and makes key passes for her side. Humphrey is one to know from the class of 2024. Bella Woods, Utah Celtic - Woods is a dynamic attacking talent who will run at defenders with the ball at her feet. She is a powerful runner and will get past the first defender consistently. She is a good finisher and an excellent passer. She could probably be a good option as an attacking midfielder at the next level. <strong>2008 Roster</strong> <details><summary>BLUE (Coach: Courtney Lock, Murietta Soccer Academy)</summary>Charlotte
