FLN: Congrats to our 10 kids and good luck in making the final cut of 22 for each age group; we’ll bring you the Girls when they are released!

SPARKS, Md. — USA Lacrosse will welcome 137 of the nation’s top high school boys’ lacrosse players to its national headquarters July 31 through August 2 for its National Team Development Program (NTDP) National Combine. 

The 137 players, representing high schools from 30 states, were selected from nine regional tryouts, a virtual application and returning USA Select team members. 

During the NTDP National Combine, athletes will be taken through elite level training of both individual and team skill development as well as sessions on strength and conditioning, recruitment, student athlete advisory, social emotional learning, and leadership training. 

From the national combine, USA Lacrosse will select 22 players each for the U16 and U18 USA Select teams that will compete against international competition at the USA Lacrosse Fall Classic from Oct. 13-15. 

USA Lacrosse has named Steven Brooks, Mark Glicini, Michael Gongas and Drew Snider as the boys’ coaches for the 2023 USA Select teams. Brooks and Snider will coach the U18 team and Glicini and Gongas will coach the U16 team.
