WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest women's soccer assistant coach Brittany Cameron was announced as the new goalkeeper coach for the United States Women's Youth National Team. Cameron is the first black coach to represent the United State in a World Cup Qualifier.
Cameron will serve as goalkeeper and assistant coach to Tracey Kevins' U-20 national team. The team called in 23 players from NCAA Division I soccer for their December camp in Chula Vista, California. The camp will begin preparations for the Concacaf U-20 Women's Championship.
"I am so proud of Brittany for all the hard work she has invested into improving herself as a coach and she has earned this opportunity. She will bring great soccer and life perspectives to this young group of players." said Head Coach Tony DaLuz.
The USYNT set up is an integral part of the development of young players across the country. The Youth National Teams provide opportunities for young players to train and compete at the highest levels and represent their country on the national stage. Many players have represented the United States at various youth levels and gone on to play for the senior team.
Cameron is one of just five black female coaches in NCAA Division I soccer. Cameron has partnered with the She Champions Coaching Mentorship Program, a program set up by US Soccer and Volkswagen which is committed to growing and empowering female coaches across the country.
Cameron just wrapped up her second season as an assistant coach with the Demon Deacons. Cameron helped lead the Deacs to a 16-6 record and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Women's Soccer Tournament. Cameron coached sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlyn Parks to nine shutouts and a Second-Team All-American selection.
Prior to her time at Wake Forest, Cameron had coaching stints at San Francisco State, Dartmouth, Niagara, and her alma mater, San Diego.
The Dublin, California native spent eight years playing professional soccer. Cameron plied her trade for three years in the NWSL, one in the WPSL, three in WPS, and four seasons in Japan. Cameron is no stranger to the world of US Soccer having been called up to the national team camp in 2012 while playing with NWSL side Sky Blue FC.
