USA Lacrosse has selected more than 150 of the nation’s best high school boys’ lacrosse players to compete in the National Team Development Program Combine.

Representing high schools from 28 states and the District of Columbia, the players (listed below) qualified for the combine during a series of regional tryouts at which they were evaluated for tactical, technical and physical performance.

The tryouts included skills and drills selected by NTDP coaches, sixes (6v6) scrimmages and full-field (10v10) scrimmages. USA Lacrosse also offered a virtual option and automatic invitations for returning USA Select players.

The three-day national combine will take place July 29-31 at Garrison Forrest School in Owings Mills, Md. It represents the second phase of the NTDP cycle. The USA Select U18 and U16 coaching staffs will be on hand to evaluate the athletes.

Forty-eight players (24 per team) will be selected to participate in a sixes development camp in September and against international competition at the Brogden Cup in October.

The USA Select U18 staff consists of co-head coaches Steven Brooks and Drew Snider and assistant coaches Cole Kirst and Will Snider.

The USA Select U16 staff consists of co-head coaches Mark Glicini and Michael Gongas and assistant coach Tim O’Branski.

Jack Runkel is the goalie coach for both teams.

Since launching in 2019, the NTDP has helped serve as a pipeline to the U.S. National Team Program, providing athletes with exposure to players, coaches and training methods from the national teams. Seven players recently named to the 2025 U.S. Men’s U20 Training Team have participated in the program.

Nearly 1,600 high school athletes (boys and girls) attended NTDP tryouts this year.

The USA Lacrosse National Team Development Program is sponsored by Cascade Maverik, STX, New Balance,, MedStar Health, NCSA, Gatorade, HotelPlanner and First Scout Productions.
