SPARKS, Md. — USA Lacrosse is set to open its first training event dedicated to the new Sixes discipline, developed by World Lacrosse, beginning today.

US Lacrosse is pleased to announce the medical staffs for the 2020 U.S. Men’s U19 Team and the 2022 U.S. Men’s Senior Team.

“US Lacrosse is so fortunate to have so many great and talented medical professionals interested in serving our national teams,” said Ann Kitt Carpenetti, vice president of lacrosse operations for US Lacrosse. “We strive to provide a world-class experience for our athletes and coaches and the quality of this outstanding group of doctors and certified athletic trainers is another way we’re able to do that. We are grateful for their service.”

Let’s try this again.

After a year’s postponement due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, we are once again officially one-year out from the beginning of the World Lacrosse Women’s World Championship.

Originally scheduled for the summer of 2021, the 10th edition of this event promises to be a special one that will be worth the wait. A record 30 nations will compete at Towson University from June 29 to July 9, 2022 and USA Lacrosse is proud to host the championship for the first time since 2005.

The U.S. women’s national team upcoming three-day training camp at USA Lacrosse headquarters will be highlighted by a Blue-White scrimmage on Wednesday, June 30 at 6 p.m. The exhibition game is free of charge and open to the public.

Next summer’s World Lacrosse Men’s U21 World Championship in Ireland will be special in many ways. Traditionally, a U19 event, the age group for the championship has been permanently moved up to U20 and due to a pair of postponements for the global pandemic, will be a U21 event for this one time only.

SPARKS, Md. — Head coach Jenny Levy and her staff have invited 36 players to a training camp for the U.S women’s national team to be held June 29 through July 1 at USA Lacrosse headquarters. The training camp comes on the heels of a tryout featuring more than 60 players that concluded on June 11.

The U.S. women’s team tryouts were highlighted by a one-hour livestream on Thursday night that served as critical fundraising effort for the national team program. A $50,000 matching gift from a USA Lacrosse Foundation board member was met and foundation board members combined to donate an additional $200,000 to support the program.

DJO Global has been the “Official Sports Brace” and an official partner of US Lacrosse and the U.S. National Team Program since 2017. Some of the world’s best athletes recently shared their thoughts about the DonJoy products that help them thrive on the field.
