More than 550 athletes applied to be considered for the three U.S. National Teams – men’s, mixed and women’s – that will compete in Heidelberg, Germany, in July. Tryout invitations were extended to 100 men and 100 women, and of those 200 athletes, 74 were named to the 2019 National Team rosters.

The teams include 15 returners who each won gold at the 2018 World U-24 Ultimate Championships in Perth, Australia. In addition to U-24 golds, 17 athletes also have World Junior Ultimate Championships gold, 20 have won College Championships titles, and five have earned National Championships titles.
