The tournament is scheduled for August 6-13 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The biennial event, which last occurred in 2018 after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 edition, features the nation’s top ultimate players under the age of 20 in both men’s and women’s divisions.

Following the application period, up to 100 athletes per division will be invited to attend one of two tryouts this winter.
In 2022, the men’s team will be led by head coach Reid Koss and assistants Andy Nielsen and Cody Mills. Tulsa Douglas and Christie Lawry will also serve as selection assistants.
The women’s squad will be helmed by head coach DeAnna Ball and assistant coaches Jason Adams and Manisha Daryani. Amelia Cuarenta and Elizabeth Jones are the team’s selection assistants.
