SPARKS, Md. — Following months of regional ID clinics and a weeklong national combine, USA Lacrosse has selected 24 players to comprise the 2026 U.S. Girls’ U15 Youth National Team.
Coached by St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) head coach Darcy Messina, the U15 team includes players from the high school classes of 2029, 2030 and 2031 spanning the country. There are athletes from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Playing both the traditional field and Olympic sixes discipline of the sport, they will represent the country this fall during the Brogden Cup against counterparts from Lacrosse Canada and the Haudenosaunee Nationals. The event takes place Sept. 25-27 at USA Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md.
Messina’s assistant coaches are Virginia defensive coordinator Shanna Brady, New York Charging goalie Madison Doucette and Darien (Conn.) head coach Lisa Lindley.
The U.S. Youth National Teams are a component of the USA Lacrosse National Team Development Program. Launched in 2019, the program has served as a pipeline to U20 and senior national teams in multiple disciplines.
Eight members of the U.S. Women’s National Field Team that won the gold medal at the World Lacrosse Women’s Championship in Tokyo earlier this month came through the program. Shea Baker, Shea Dolce, Brigid Duffy, Kori Edmondson, Sam Forrest, Chloe Humphrey, Emma LoPinto and Emma Muchnick are all former U.S. Youth National Team athletes.
Sponsors of the National Team Development Program include Capelli Sport, Caddix, CWENCH, Fourg Athletics, Gait Lacrosse, GoLive Sports, Halpern Travel, MedStar Health, NCSA / Sports Recruits, NCSI, Sports Engine and STX.
