USA Field Hockey announced on Wednesday the names of the 16 athletes and two reserves selected to represent the U-21 Women’s National Team at the 2025 Junior Pan America Games.

The event, which runs August 9-23, will be held at The Olympic Park in Asunción, Paraguay.

“These athletes have earned this opportunity through their dedication, resilience, and pursuit of excellence,” U.S. U-21 Women’s National Team Head Coach Ange Bradley said in a statement. “We’re also deeply grateful to the college coaches and programs who have supported their journeys, especially in allowing them to arrive late to preseason. Your flexibility helps provide an experience that brings them one step closer to their dreams to represent our country in Los Angeles 2028."

About the games:

“The Junior Pan American Games are a multi-sport event held every four years among youth athletes from all over the American continent,” according to USA Field Hockey. “The Games have been organized by PanAm Sports. This event, inspired by the Youth Olympic Games, is exclusively for athletes under 21 years of age, with fewer infrastructure requirements and costs than the Pan American Games.

The Pan American Games started in 1951 and spawned the Junior Pan American Games, aimed at promoting young athletes. The first edition was held in 2021 in Cali, Colombia, marking an important milestone for the sport in the continent.”

Training:

Training camp for the games will take place August 5 to 7 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The team will depart for Paraguay on August 7. Team USA will prepare for the games August 8-10.

Games will take place August 11-19.
