National Forge Summit™

The National Forge Summit™represents the most intensive phase of the program. Following the seven regional clinics, the top 200 performers receive invitations to an intensive evaluation event. This invite-only event features multiple 3-hour sessions daily, providing extended observation periods for final assessment.

The selection camp outcome determines the athletes per each age division who will enter the National Team pool, representing the most elite tier of USVI lacrosse talent identified through the comprehensive selection process.

National Team Pool

Once athletes are evaluated and selected, they enter our National Teams Pool and have the option to participate in the USVI National Teams Program in variety of ways. Most will compete for a position on one of our National Teams based on their age eligibility. They will also have the option to join our Elite Team program. They may also choose to select one pathway over the other. The choice, which is largely the athletes, is made in consultation with our coaching staff, and is based on the players training, development and recruitment objectives, opportunities and priorities.
