Colorado Springs, Colo. (October 2, 2023)—USA Ultimate announced today the 200 athletes that were invited to try out for the U.S. National Team ahead of the WFDF World Junior Ultimate Championships next summer.
More than 370 applicants expressed an interest in trying out for Team USA before coaches chose a final pool of invitees. Selected players will attend one of two tryouts hosted by USA Ultimate in November.
The tournament was last held in 2022 as Team USA claimed a pair of gold medals in the open and women’s divisions and combined for a perfect 18-0 record. Next summer will be the first time USA Ultimate has fielded a team in the mixed division, which was introduced last year.
Athletes who make the final cut will be offered a spot on either the mixed, open or women’s teams that will represent the United States in Birmingham, England, July 20-27.
