Head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller has announced that 32 players will be invited to a June training camp for the 2024 U.S. Women’s U20 National Team. The camp will be held at USA Lacrosse Headquarters in Sparks, Md., from June 19-21.
The 32 players are a combination of players named to the initial training team last summer and additional players that participated in the tryout process. The staff continued to evaluate players throughout the 2024 college and high school seasons and also made adjustments based on injuries to training team members.
This is the first time the U20 players will be together since the Fall Classic last October when they swept Canada and Northwestern in a pair of games.
Following the June training camp, a total of 22 players (the maximum final roster size permitted by World Lacrosse) will be invited to a training camp at Northwestern University from July 18-20. The team will then have one final brief camp in Northern California in August before heading to Hong Kong, China for the 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship from August 15-24.
Formerly, a U19 event, World Lacrosse raised the age group to U20 after the 2019 championship in Peterborough, Ontario. Amonte Hiller was the head coach for the 2019 team and helped lead the U.S. to its fifth gold medal in the event. The U.S won the event in 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2019. Australia won the inaugural championship in 1995 and Canada won in 2015 with the U.S. finishing as the runner-up at those two events.
Here's a complete list of the 32 players invited to the June training camp:
