U.S. UNDER-19 NATIONAL TEAM COACHING STAFF ANNOUNCED FOR INTERNATIONAL BOWL SERIES IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS
USA Football to host sixth annual event in early 2015 at AT&T Stadium and Maverick Stadium
TOM WESTERBERG of Allen (Texas) High School will lead an eight-member coaching staff for the 2015 U.S. Under-19 National Team in football when the International Bowl series returns to Arlington, Texas, in January and February 2015. The games are a collaboration of the sport’s national governing bodies in each country – USA Football and Football Canada – featuring top student-athletes in football’s greatest annual international competition.

The event will feature a week of practices and activities for five high school-aged U.S. National Teams culminating with official international competitions. The U.S. Under-18, Under-17, Under-16 and Under-15 teams will play Friday, Jan. 30, and Saturday, Jan. 31, at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. The U.S. Under-19 National Team will play Saturday, Feb. 7, at Maverick Stadium on the University of Texas-Arlington campus.

Westerberg has been the head coach at Allen for the past decade, compiling a record of 118-16, including three 5A Division I state titles. The 2014 National High School Coaches Association Coach of the Year, Westerberg will be joined on the Under-19 team by his quarterback, Kyler Murray, who has verbally committed to play at Texas A&M. The full U.S. Under-19 roster will be announced by position groups at usafootball.com starting Monday, Nov. 17.

“This is an exciting competition for our National Team players as well as those from Football Canada,” USA Football Executive Director SCOTT HALLENBECK said. “Our young men have the chance to represent their country and learn from top coaches while working alongside the best athletes in their grade levels and will do it all in Arlington – a city steeped in football heritage and history.”
