1. The upper age limit is that all players must be under 20 on 31st August of the year before the Championship takes place.
1a. For the 2025 Men’s U20 Championship, this means players must be under twenty (20), so still 19 years of age, on 31 August 2024. Players must therefore be born after 31 August 2004

MALE HIGH-SCHOOL ATHLETES: U.S. MEN’S U20 NATIONAL TEAM vs NATIONAL TEAM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (NTDP)
In addition to the U.S. national teams that participate in international World Lacrosse competitions, USA Lacrosse offers a National Team Development Program (NTDP) for high-school aged boys' and girls' players. NTDP players make up the rosters of the USA Select U16 and U18 teams that currently compete domestically in the Brogden Cup. More NTDP information found here.

In this competition cycle some male high-school athletes will be age eligible to tryout for both the 2025 U.S. Men’s U20 National Team, and for the NTDP USA Select teams. Athletes are welcome to tryout for one or both; however, the programs and tryout processes are 100% independent of each other. If an athlete chooses to tryout for both and is selected to advance to the next phase of either process they may do so but must be aware they may not inevitably be rostered on multiple teams.

Athletes are encouraged to tryout for whichever program(s) they believe their playing experience is best suited for.
