ACAPULCO, Mexico — The U.S. U-15 Women’s National Team (WNT) has arrived in Acapulco, Mexico ahead of the 2025 U-15 Women’s Pan American Championship slated to take place March 22-29. The second of its kind for the U-15 age division, the Eagles will compete alongside top opponents in the Americas in hopes of claiming a qualifying spot in the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) World Cup held in Italy later this year. The 16-player roster will kick off the competition on Saturday, March 22 after participating in a pair of practices.

With ten countries drawn into two groups, Team USA will compete in Group A alongside Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala and Venezuela, while Canada, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico will battle it out in Group B. The U.S. will begin its quest for gold on Saturday, March 22. More information on the 2025 U-15 Women’s Pan American Championship game schedule will be available at a later date. Please check the official event page for schedule updates.

Fans can keep up with the excitement all week long through the WBSC’s exclusive online GameTime video platform where live stream day passes can be purchased for $7.99 and tournament passes can be purchased for $12.99. Live stats will also be provided via GameChanger.

Previously announced by USA Softball, the 16-player roster is a result of the USA Softball High Performance Program (HPP) – also known as the pipeline to the WNT. Working their way through the selection process, the U-15 roster represents eight different regions across the U.S. with Region 5 (Texas, Oklahoma) highlighted by six players, along with two players each from Region 2 (Virginia), Region 4 (Louisiana), Region 6 (Illinois, Kentucky) and Region 7 (Nebraska, Colorado). Regions 1 (Pennsylvania), 10 (Hawaii) and 3 (Tennessee) are also represented by one athlete apiece. 

A part of the JWNT program since 2019, Kyla Holas will once again lead the U-15 squad, after previously leading the U-15 WNT to three gold medals during the 2023 season, including a remarkable 7-1 record at the WBSC U-15 Women’s Softball World Cup, where the Eagles claimed the top spot on the podium. Additionally, Holas recently guided the U-18 WNT to an undefeated run at the 2024 WBSC U-18 Group C Stage Event, securing a place in the 2025 WBSC U-18 World Cup Finals. Former U.S. Olympian Kelly Kretschman will coach alongside Holas in Mexico after assisting at the WBSC U-18 World Cup Group Stage Event last year, while Jillian Callaway (co-head coach of Howard Community College) will join the U-15 WNT staff for the first time in her career after assisting with the USA Softball HPP over the past four years.
