MCINTOSH CALLED UP TO U17 U.S. NATIONAL TEAM

Kendall McIntosh, a sophomore goalkeeper who attends Sonoma Academy, will

be playing with the United States under-17 national team this week at the Nike

International Friendlies in Phoenix.

The Americans will play Portugal (Friday), Brazil (Saturday) and the

Netherlands (Monday), with each game broadcast live at 6 p.m. on Fox Soccer

Channel.

McIntosh, a former Santa Rosa United player, currently plays with the

Mustang Academy in Danville and has been part of the U.S. National Team

program for three years. He seeks one of 40 spots in the coveted residency

program in Bradenton, Fla.

McIntosh's schedule does not allow him to play for Sonoma Academy this

year, though he continues to work closely with Coyotes coach Chris Ziemer.
