This will be the only training camp for the six-man team before the camp immediately preceding the inaugural USA Lacrosse Experience in Indianapolis on Oct. 11-12, 2024. The U.S. six-man team will compete against international competition during that event.
The U.S. has only played in an international tournament in the Sixes three times. In 2021, USA Lacrosse hosted a three-team Super Six tournament with Canada and the Haudenosaunee Nation. The U.S. and Canada each went 3-1 in round-robin play. In 2022, Canada defeated the U.S., 14-12, in the gold medal game at the World Games. Last fall, the U.S. defeated Canada, 8-7, in the Super Six finals in Canada.
The U.S. Women’s National Team trains and competes using innovative, high-performance equipment from Cascade Maverik, Gait Lacrosse and STX, as well as best-in-class products from Enovis (sports braces).
In addition to these partners, Gatorade, MedStar Health and Stryker are official sponsors of the U.S. National Team program, which also uses Athletic Republic products in its training.
Funding for the national team also comes from generous donors to the USA Lacrosse Foundation. Help support the team.
