Three members of the FC Westchester U16 U.S. Soccer Development Academy team – Alex Kapp, Ryan McNamara and Taylor Washington -- have been selected to play on Development Academy Select Teams that will play at the upcoming Academy Showcase event being held in early December in Phoenix, Ariz.

Four teams comprised of players born in 1993, three with players born in 1994 and one made up of players born in 1991 and 1992 will play together across the weekend. Development Academy Select Teams are comprised of 130 total players who were chosen by youth national team coaches and U.S. Soccer’s youth national team scouting network. They will have a unique opportunity to play alongside some of the top players in their age while competing against either an Academy club team or another Select Team. Kapp’s team will be coached by U.S. U17 National Team Head Coach Wilmer Cabrera and his staff, while McNamara’s and Washington’s teams will be coached by U18 National Team head coach Mike Matkovich.

The FCW U16 and U18 teams will also be participating at the Showcase event in Phoenix.
