When the U-20s have finished their work in Costa Rica, the regional youth soccer spotlight will turn its attention to the U-17 age group. In April, the CONCACAF U-17 Championship will kick off in Panama, with 12 teams chasing four places at the 2017 U-17 World Cup.

There are still several weeks to go before squads need to be named for the U-17 Championship, and head coach John Hackworth continues to explore his options with a steady stream of friendlies. The latest announcement out of the US U-17 camp is that the team is in Honduras for a training camp that includes two games against the local U-17s.

Twenty-six players have been called up for the trip to Honduras, including New York Red Bulls Academy prospect, Chris Gloster - a regular for the U-17s during the current World Cup cycle.
