SPARKS, Md. — The U.S. Men's Sixes National Team heads to Buffalo for a three-day training camp, Sept. 26-28, as it prepares for the Pan-American Men's Lacrosse Sixes Championship. Following the camp, the team travels to Oshawa, Ontario, to compete in the championship, which runs Sept. 29 – Oct. 4.
Head coach Andy Shay will welcome a total of 24 players to the training camp with 12 pre-selected to compete in the Pan-American championship. The Pan-American Lacrosse Association event is a continental qualifier for the inaugural World Lacrosse Sixes Championship, set to take place in October 2027 in Colorado Springs.
The training camp is the first activity for the U.S. men’s sixes program since last year’s Atlas Cup and Super Sixes. It also kicks off a busy stretch for the team.
Following the Pan-American championship, USA Lacrosse will host Canada, the Haudenosaunee Nationals and Ireland for the Atlas Cup in Sparks, Md., from Oct. 23-25. The Global Lacrosse Games, featuring Australia, Canada, the Haudenosaunee and the United States takes place in Springfield, Va., from Dec. 8-13. All three events will feature both the USA men’s and women’s sixes national teams.
Here’s the full list of players coming to the training camp beginning this weekend.
