Rebimbas, a rising star known for her creativity and work ethic, has been a key player at every level she’s competed in. Her call-up to the U-20 squad marks another important step in her journey through the U.S. Soccer development pipeline.

The camp, running from May 25 to June 1, will serve as a vital opportunity for players to train under the guidance of U-20 head coach Tracey Kevins and her staff. With the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup on the horizon, these training camps are essential for evaluating talent and building team chemistry.
