Luebbert, who will be a senior this year at Jefferson City High School, is one of 106 girls soccer players from around the country to be invited to participate in the 2015 Nike National Training Camp that starts today in Beaverton, Ore.

During the four-day event, participants will have the opportunity to play with and against the best players in the country. U.S. Soccer national team scouts will be in attendance to observe and evaluate players for possible roster spots on youth national teams.

Luebbert, who has orally committed to play at Missouri, is one of 29 seniors participating. Luebbert also attended last year's camp - which has players entering their sophomore, junior and senior seasons in high school - as the only player from Missouri. Kayleigh Stahlschmidt of Visitation Academy in St. Louis is another Missouri player to attend the camp this year.

Players are selected for the camp based on their performances at Elite Club National League competitions as well as other events throughout the year. The ECNL was founded in 2009 to enhance the development experience of female youth soccer players in the United States.
