SPARKS, Md. — USA Lacrosse has named 24 of the nation’s top young girls’ lacrosse players to the 2025 U15 Youth National Team. The players were selected following evaluations at five regional ID clinics and virtual applications during the spring and early summer as part of the National Team Development Program
The U.S. Youth National Teams will compete during the Rivalry Challenge against their counterparts from Lacrosse Canada the weekend of September 18-21 at USA Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md.
The National Team Development Program expanded this year to six total teams – boys’ and girls teams at the U15, U17 and U19 age groupings. More than 2,000 players around the country have participated in the process. Launched in 2019, the National Team Development Program provides high-level training for the nation’s top young players and acclimates them to the national team system.
