SPARKS, Md. — USA Lacrosse has named 48 of the nation’s top young girls’ lacrosse players to the 2025 U17 and U19 Youth National teams. The players were selected following a national combine at USA Lacrosse headquarters in late July that featured nearly 175 standout players from around the country.
The U.S. U17 and U19 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., and then again from Oct. 24-26 against teams representing the Haudenosaunee Nationals and Team Ontario for the Brogden Cup at USA Lacrosse.
The U.S. Youth National Teams are part of the National Team Development Program, which 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.
The co-head coaches for the U17 team are American University head coach Lindsay Teeters and UAlbany head coach Katie Thomson. They are assisted by USA gold medalist Kylie Ohlmiller and San Diego State associate head coach Brandi Padilla.
The co-head coaches for the U19 team are University of Delaware head coach Amy Altig and Mount St. Mary’s University head coach Lauren Skellchock. They are assisted by Penn State assistant coach Amy Moreau and Garrison Forest School (Md.) Athletic Director Jessy Morgan.
The National Team Development Program is sponsored by Capelli Sport, Gait Lacrosse, STX, MedStar Health, Athletic Republic, First Scout Productions, HotelPlanner and NCSA.
