Six Keiser flag football players have been invited to the U.S. Flag Football National Team trials. The trials will be hosted on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte at the US Performance Center this weekend March 21-22 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Valentina Fanetti, Kennedy Foster, Ashlea Klam, Brenna Ramirez, Sarah Villareal, and Janasia Wilson will be among 60 athletes competing for a spot on the U.S. National Team. Those selected will participate in international friendlies and the International Federation of American Football's (IFAF) Americas Continental Championship later this year. The U.S. Women's National Team will also compete in The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, China.
The U.S. National Team Trials is a two-day, invite-only event where athletes will showcase their skills through athletic testing, on-field drills, and 1-on-1 and 5-on-5 competition.
