Haven't heard much about any of these players yet (of course, they're U14s so why should I have...) apart from Hyndman.

I am guessing that AJ is Mike Jeffries's son?

And, to answer my own question, yes he is:

A native of Bethesda, Md., Jeffries and his wife Terry are the parents of Kaitlin (14), A.J. (11) and Nathan (8).​

Cap Nathan Jeffries now!

 

From U.S. Soccer:

The team used a pair of friendlies against local Under-15/16 Development Academy clubs on Monday, May 4 to train, falling to Real So Cal (0-2) but defeating Arsenal (3-0). On Wednesday, May 6, one of the U-14 split squads took on the Los Angeles Aztecs U-16s, suffering a close defeat while the other topped the LA Rampage 6-1 behind a hat trick from forward Paul Arriola.

Head coach Manny Schellscheidt will gather his team again in June for another eight day domestic training camp at a location to be determined. ​

Curious: Anyone know anything about these assistant coaches?

Assistant Coach: Mario Prata (Boston, Ma.)
Assistant Coach: Manni Klar (Albuquerque, N.M.)
Assistant Coach: Louis Mateus (Chicago, Ill.)
Assistant Coach: Robert Montgomery (New York, N.Y. )
Assistant Coach: Hubert Birkenmeir (Newark, N.J.) ​

 

No. But... I do recognize Birkenmeir's name, now that you mention it.

And, I should always do my own looking up anyway...

Prata appears to run the Revs' youth setup:

Klar runs this organization:

Mateus heads up the Fire's youth organization:

It looks like Montgomery left Adelphi U. to work with the Red Bulls' youth:

And here's Hubert's bio:

This thread came up in a search for something else and I have to say, this doesn't seem like a bad yield of adult players for a random U14 camp.
