USA Football is building this developmental pipeline to feed future U.S. National Teams competing in international competitions, including the Olympics.

To support the next generation of athletes on the cusp of greatness and give more athletes a chance to #RepTheFlag, USA Football leads the National Team Development Program.

Through the National Team Development Program, top flag football players from around the country are identified, trained, and selected for development and exposure to the next level of competition.

With the help of U.S. National Team personnel and resources, athletes are evaluated each year for the U.S. National Team or a Junior U.S. National Team while improving their skills and raising their game as they train and compete in the National Team Development Program.

No, while coaches or athletes from the National Team may participate in other events, only Talent ID Camps and Digital Combines operated by USA Football qualify as National Team Development Program evaluation events. These evaluation events make participants eligible for a Select Team, Stars & States Team, or an invitation to the U.S. National Team Trials.
