00:00Trinidad and Tobago's players were making final preparations on Sunday morning for their
00:04CONCACAF women's under-17 qualifiers under the watchful eye of coach Ayanna Russell.
00:09TNT are grouped alongside El Salvador, Honduras and the USA.
00:14Preparations has been good. I wish it could be better. I wish we probably would have gotten
00:18a little more games to get the kids a little more match fit. But for the most part, in
00:23terms of what we could do as a staff and as the players, preparations has been good.
00:29The team's think tank has been putting things in place with the hope TNT can qualify for
00:33the women's under-17 World Cup in Morocco later this year. At the same time, coach Russell
00:37is taking none of the other teams lightly.
00:39Each team in this round is going to be very difficult. So it's very important that we
00:44stay disciplined. So we are focused on certain areas on the team, on the field and how we
00:51approach the game in terms of the areas of the field and the opponents.
00:56Russell is satisfied with the group of players at her disposal, saying they are maturing
01:00every day in different ways. And who are the changes to the team?
01:05Changes to the team, I brought in Diem Sili and Juliana Myers from the U.S. And Thea Williams-Shirin
01:14Steele also came in and Alexia Dolan in terms of the goalkeeping department.
01:19All matches are at the Atto-Bolden Stadium, with TNT's opener being against USA on Monday
01:24from 7pm.
