National Teams Program

Our National Teams Program mission is to establish the US Virgin Islands as a world-class lacrosse nation through systematic development of athletes from grassroots to international competition and beyond. We accomplish this by achieving the following objectives:

  • Provide equitable, high-quality training for male and female athletes across all stages.
  • Ensure compliance with World Lacrosse eligibility criteria for international play.
  • Expand the USVI talent pool with early identification and structured progression.
  • Integrate education, leadership, and cultural pride into athlete development.
  • Foster sustainability through transparent fees, governance, and program accountability.

The ultimate objective is to establish the US Virgin Islands National Team Program as a world-class development system, ensuring systematic identification and progression of talented lacrosse players while maintaining full compliance with international eligibility standards and territorial sport federation requirements.

This comprehensive framework establishes an optimal process for the US Virgin Islands National Team Program to identify, register, evaluate, and develop eligible lacrosse players for international competition. Our approach promotes and encourages a virtual lifelong relationship with USVI. It begins with basic registration and progresses through national team stages - with clear documentation requirements and performance standards - and strategically aligns with post-international competition opportunities advancing into late-stage club, coaching and other community engagement possibilities for those inclined to continue their lacrosse athletic activities and interests.
