Twenty-two athletes have received invitations to try out for the 2015 USA Softball Junior Women’s (19-Under) National Team (JWNT) the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball announced Friday.
Taran Alvelo is one of four current high school players invited to try out for the Jr. Women's National Team.
Those athletes who accept an invitation to try out will participate in the 2015 JWNT Selection Camp, which will be held January 3-4, 2015 at Bill Barber Park in Irvine, Calif.
Seventeen athletes will be selected by members of the USA Softball Women’s National Team Selection Committee (WNTSC) to represent the United States as a member of the 2015 JWNT roster that will compete at the World Cup of Softball X in Southern California and the International Softball Federation (ISF) Junior Women’s World Championship, which will be held August 9-15 in Oklahoma City, Okla.

Four of the invitees are still in high school: pitcher Taran Alvelo with the Beverly Bandits (2015, Washington commit), outfielder Mari Cranek of the Texas Magic Gold (2015, Alabama), infielder Alissa Dalton of the Diamond Sports Hotshots (2016, Oklahoma) and shortstop Lindsay Rood with Sorcerers Gold (2015, Cal).
Additional athletes may be invited to the USA Softball JWNT Selection Camp at a later date while additional opportunities for athletes to try out for the 2015 JWNT will be announced on November 3 via USASoftball.com.
Oregon freshman catcher Gwen Svekis, seen here hitting a home run, was also invited.
During the selection process, athletes will participate in position drills as well as simulated games and be evaluated by the WNTSC.
Once selected, the JWNT will compete in the World Cup of Softball X in Southern California and the ISF Junior Women’s World Championship in Oklahoma City, Okla. The complete 2015 schedule for the JWNT, including exhibition games, will be announced at a later date.
This will be the first time in World Cup of Softball history that the JWNT will participate as the team will build towards reclaiming the Gold at the ISF Junior Women’s World Championship.
At the last ISF Junior Women’s World Championship in 2013, the U.S. finished runner-up after falling 4-0 to Japan in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. This marks the first time since 1995 that an ISF Junior Women’s World Championship has been held in the United States.
Led by Head Coach Tairia Flowers (Tucson, Ariz./ head coach at Cal State Northridge), the complete coaching staff for the 2015 JWNT will be announced at a later date.
