Every year, thousands of athletes are evaluated for the U.S. Flag National Team or a Junior National Team. To support the next generation of athletes on the cusp of greatness and give more athletes a chance to #RepTheFlag, USA Football is launching the National Team Development Program in 2024!

USA Football is building this developmental pipeline to feed future National Teams competing in international competitions, including the Olympics. Through the National Team Development Program, top flag football players from around the country are identified, trained and selected to be developed and exposed to the next level of competition on USA Football’s Select Teams.

With the help of National Team personnel and resources, Select Team athletes will hone their skills and raise their game as they train and compete in USA Football’s Select Bowl in Los Angeles. Top performances will further cement why they should earn an invite to the 2025 U.S. National Team Trials.

Development Program Info Select Team Info

Athletes aged 11-19, essentially Middle & High School, are invited to participate.

The camp will feature several areas to help you improve, and individuals should expect to spend about four hours at a Talent ID Camp. Typically, boys will participate in one half of the day, while girls will participate in the other half. Each event's times and schedule may vary.
