Colorado Springs, Colo. (December 15, 2023)—USA Ultimate, the national governing body for the sport of ultimate in the United States, announced today the 72 athletes that have been selected to represent the U.S. at the 2024 World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) World Junior Ultimate Championships (WJUC) next summer.
Players were named to one of three rosters – mixed, open or women’s – and were chosen from a pool of 200 invitees that attended a pair of tryouts this fall.
Overall, coaches selected 24 players to each team, including four athletes that won a world title in 2022 as part of the gold-medal-winning women’s squad.
Team USA has competed in 15 editions of WJUC dating back to 1988. The open team has earned nine gold medals, two silvers and four bronze.
Since the women’s division was introduced in 2000, the U.S. National Team has captured six gold medals, three silvers and a bronze.
The 2024 event will be the first time that Team USA has fielded a team in the mixed division, which was recently introduced to the program in 2022.
WJUC 2024 is set to be held July 20-27 in Birmingham, England and is co-hosted by WFDF and UK Ultimate.
