Think you have what it takes to play for USA? US Lacrosse will be hosting regional tryouts for the U.S. National Team Development Program at Western Shootout. This is the first step in becoming a part of the USA Select U16 and U18 Teams. Players will be trained and evaluated during this session by U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Team athletes & coaches – who will work to furnish invitations to the final tryout hosted in Maryland in August. This will culminate in an international competition in the Fall of 2021. During tryouts, the goal is to mirror the same level of elite training and evaluation used by the U.S. National Team. Each aspect of this event will not only provide participants with the opportunity to showcase their skill, but also give them insight as to what it takes to become a high-level player. Drills will include an emphasis on stick work, dodging, clearing, small-sided play, man up/man-down situations, full-field play, and Olympic model play. Throughout the tryout, individuals will be evaluated on athleticism, stick work, positional skill, game IQ, decision making, and overall field presence.
