HFC Player Invited to Participate in the U.S. Soccer Training Center: Avery Batson with the HFC 97 Blue girls was invited to participate in the U.S. Soccer Training Center in Suwanee, GA on February 8, 2012

U.S. Soccer Training Centers are designed to replicate national team training camps. As the National Governing Body of soccer in the United States, and under the auspices of the United States Olympic Committee, we are empowered and charged with developing the teams that represent the United States in all international competitions such as the Olympics and World Cup. The Training Center Program is an integral part of this process. The U.S. Soccer Training Centers are single day, invitational training sessions run by U.S. Soccer staff for elite players in key soccer markets. Training Centers are open to the top players from any team, club or organization at no cost to the player. The purpose of the Training Center program is to identify the best players for the U.S. Soccer Youth National Team program.

Avery has been with HFC since U10/U11. She is one of the few players at HFC that has been able to play up an age group each single season and plays for the HFC ’97 Blue Girls as a ’98 at the moment. This spring she will skip middle school ball and will look for playing opportunities within HFC and somewhere else since most of her teammates are playing high school ball.

We at HFC are all very happy for her and wish her all the best!
