SPARKS, Md. — The returning champs from a year ago headline the field at the 2025 USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals, which opens on July 15 at Cedar Lane Regional Park in Bel Air, Md. The two-day event features some of the top girls’ club lacrosse programs in the country competing in the 13U, 14U and 15U age divisions in this fully age-verified tournament.
Top of the Bay Sports and USA Lacrosse are working in conjunction to administer this year’s tournament. It's the fifth straight year that Top of the Bay has been involved with the event.
Gait athletes Abby Bosco, Mckenna Davis and Izzy Scane, all of whom are in the U.S. national team player pool, will be performing demos and meet-and-greets for event participants between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. on July 15.
In the 15U age bracket, Mass Elite Red is the returning champ, having edged out Yellow Jackets Maget 10-9 in last year’s 14U championship game. Both teams will compete next week in the tournament’s oldest age bracket and are ranked among the top five teams nationally by US Club Lacrosse.
In the 14U age bracket, Yellow Jackets Friedman is the returning champ and is currently ranked as the No. 1 team in its age group by US Club Lacrosse. The No. 2 ranked team nationally is Team 91 Roar, which will be looking to improve upon its quarterfinal finish at this tournament from a year ago.
The 13U age bracket also features the nation's No. 1 ranked team – Yellow Jackets Babst – and three other teams ranked among the top 20 clubs in the country.
