USA Ultimate announced today a list of 29 athletes who have been invited to tryout for the US National teams that will compete at the 2018 U24 World Championships in Perth, Australia next January. These players — selected by the National team coaching staffs based on their performances during the 2017 college season — join 180 players who received invitations in January.
Invitees will be competing across two tryout weekends to earn a spot on one of three US National teams — men’s, mixed, and women’s — selected by the coaches. Tryouts will be held in June: the first in Columbus, Ohio, June 17-18, and the second the following weekend, June 24-25, in Denver.
