25 Players Invited to U.S. Women's National Team Camp in Texas

SPARKS, Md. — Head coach Acacia Walker-Weinstein has invited 25 of the nation’s best women’s lacrosse players to a U.S. Women’s National Field Team training camp in the Austin, Texas, area. The camp is set for Jan. 4-7, 2026.

This will be the final evaluation opportunity before Walker-Weinstein and her staff select the 22-player roster to represent the United States in the 2026 World Lacrosse Women’s Championship. The 16-team championship takes place this summer from July 24 through August 2 in Tokyo.

Walker-Weinstein, the head coach at Boston College and a former gold medal winner as a player with the U.S. National Team, was named as the U.S. head coach in 2024. Since her initial training camp that year, she and her staff have evaluated 58 players over the last two years at various training camps and competitions. She led the U.S. to the Pan-America Women’s Lacrosse Championship this summer in Auburndale, Fla., earning them one of the 16 spots for the world championship.

The U.S. has won nine World Lacrosse championships since the inaugural event in 1982 and claimed silver twice. The U.S. has won four consecutive world championships in senior women’s field lacrosse, including the most recent in 2022 when it defeated Canada 11-8 in the gold medal game in Towson, Md.

The Austin training camp roster includes six players from the final 18-player roster that won the gold medal with the U.S. in 2022 – Sam Apuzzo, Ally Kennedy, Ally Mastroianni, Marie McCool, Charlotte North and Caylee Waters. World Lacrosse expanded the final rosters from 18 players to 22 following that world championship.

Here’s the full list of the 25 players that will participate in the training camp:
