SoCal U23 Griffins squad 2006
After a total of 4 tryout camps, the coaching staff would like to announce the final squad of 22 players and 3 alternates that will represent Southern California in the U23 division at NASC’s in Colorado, June 9-11. It was a very difficult process with many talented players from which to select a final representative squad.

Thank you to all the players who tried out this year, a high number of 60 players. Thank you to Coast, Belmont, UCLA, and UCSB for their generous help obtaining fields and equipment for each camp. Thank you to all of the collegiate and club coaches who helped in the running of the camps and the overall increase in player skills. We hope to make you all proud.
