In its quest for gold in 2026, the U.S. Women’s National Training Team will stop in Florida for a three-day training camp from Nov. 20-22. USA head coach Acacia Walker-Weinstein has invited 30 players to the camp, 20 of whom have won at least one world championship as part of the National Team Program.

Here is the roster:

OPEN SESSIONS

The U.S. team will hold open practices on Friday, Nov. 21, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and then from 4-6 p.m. There will also be an autograph session between practices from 12:30-1:15 p.m.

NOTEWORTHY

• BC Bred: With Walker-Weinstein serving as head coach, the Boston College ties run deep on the training roster. Nine players attended BC, while assistant coach Kayla Treanor was formerly a member of Walker-Weinstein’s staff. Jen Kent is on staff as the team’s operations administrator.
• National Champs: Three players were members of North Carolina’s 2025 national championship team, and a fourth (Marie McCool) was on staff as an assistant coach.
• Veteran Vibes: Caylee Waters graduated college in 2017, making her the oldest player on the roster. She is one of three goalies invited, including Shea Dolce and Taylor Moreno.
• New York, New York: Thirteen players hail from the state of New York, by far the most of any state represented.
• Turnover on Defense: There is not a single player returning from the 2022 world championship team on the defensive side of the ball (not including goalies). That includes the 2022 training roster.
• Halting the Hardwood: Emma LoPinto, whose college lacrosse career ended in May, is now a member of the Boston College women’s basketball team. She’ll trade her basketball shoes for lacrosse cleats this weekend to pick up a stick once again in hopes of making the National Team.
