TEAM CANADA:

TRAINING SQUAD FOR NANAIMO IS ANNOUNCED

June 1, 2006

Canada’s Women’s National Team Head Coach, Even Pellerud, has selected his 19 woman roster for Canada’s upcoming training camp in Nanaimo, BC from June 10-17, 2006. He has called upon a familiar group for this camp as the players listed cumulatively account for 886 caps, 206 goals, and 27 shutouts for Canada.

'While the month of May allowed the players to place their priority on game fitness and the start of the W-League, the Nanaimo camp kicks off the busiest summer season ever for the Women’s National team,” said Pellerud. “The camp will be an extremely busy week for the players; with emphasis on fitness as well as mental training and plenty of practices and scrimmages.

“It is our hope that by the end of this camp we will have stepped up our level on defence and offence, and that we will have secured a good physical foundation for the upcoming Fall schedule. On a shorter term, we will take advantage of this camp in preparing the team for the exciting showdown against the experienced Italy team later this month in Toronto. Canada’s next friendly takes place against Italians at Centennial Stadium in Toronto on June 25th.

“The Nanaimo organizing committee has done a good job for us in securing good facilities.”

Canada is preparing for the the six-team (Canada, Mexico, Panama, USA (host), and two teams from the Caribbean Final Round) Women’s Gold Cup™ in November, which will crown the CONCACAF champion, and will also qualify two nations to the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup in China. The third-place finisher from the CONCACAF event will face an Asian team in a home-and-away playoff for the final berth to the FIFA tournament.
