In case you missed it—and it would have been hard because every college tweeted out their players who made the list—the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball announced Thursday the list of 32 initial invitees for the 2015 USA Softball Women’s National Team Selection Camp to be held January 4-8, 2015 at Bill Barber Park in Irvine, Calif.

Those athletes who accept the invitation to try out will vie for 17 spots on the 2015 USA Softball Women’s National Team (WNT) roster that will compete at the World Cup of Softball X in July, 2015 and a spot on the 15-athlete roster that will compete in the 2015 Pan American Games, which will be held July 15-26 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Additional athletes may be invited to the USA Softball WNT Selection Camp at a later date.

Of the 32 players invited, three each come from the following colleges: Arizona, Cal, Oregon and Tennessee.

During the five-day selection process athletes will participate in position drills as well as simulated games and be evaluated by the Women’s National Team Selection Committee (WNTSC).

Once selected, the WNT will compete in the World Cup of Softball X in Southern California and the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  The complete 2015 schedule for the WNT, including exhibition games, will be announced at a later date.

In addition to the list of invitees, the full coaching staff has been selected for the WNT for competitions in 2015.

With Ken Eriksen (Tampa, Fla./Head Coach at USF) at the head of the Women’s program, the Assistant Coaches will be Laura Berg (Corvallis, Ore./head coach at Oregon State), Howard Dobson (Orange, Texas/assistant coach at LSU) and Lisa Dodd (San Diego, Calif./head coach at UNLV).

All three served as Assistant Coaches for the 2014 WNT that claimed the General Tire World Cup of Softball IX and the silver medal at the International Softball Federation (ISF) Women’s World Championship in Haarlem, Netherlands in 2014.
