Her memoir, When Nobody Was Watching, was published in September 2016.
Early life
Born to Stephen and Pamela Lloyd, Carli was raised in Delran Township, a small community located in South Jersey about 20 minutes northeast of Philadelphia. Lloyd began playing soccer at age five. Of her exposure to soccer at a young age, Lloyd’s mother, Pamela said, “At that age, it was coed, and Carli was hanging with the boys. She always loved it and showed a lot of ability from an early age, but she also has always worked hard.” Lloyd has a brother named Stephen, and a sister, Ashley. Lloyd attended the opening U.S. match of the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup, which inspired her to play for the national team.

As a high school athlete, she was known for her exceptional ball control and skill at distributing the ball from the midfield. During her senior year, she scored 26 goals and served eight assists while captaining her team to an 18–3 record. The Philadelphia Inquirer twice-named her Girls’ High School Player of the Year in 1999 and 2000.
