USA Ultimate announced the 20-person roster for the national team to play at the 2013 World Games. Scheduled for July 25- Aug. 4 the Games feature teams representing Australia, Canada, Japan, Colombia, Great Britain and the US.
With more than 500 elite players from across the country trying out for the team there were a lot of good competitors to choose from. The 20 players chosen will have the opportunity to defend USA's gold medal won at 2009 Games played in Germany.
Eventually the current group will be cut down to 13 players for the final roster to head to Colombia this summer.
Selected for this year's squad were men and women from some of the best club teams in the country including Ring of Fire, Revolver, Showdown and Fury. Revolver had four men selected, and Fury had three women selected to the national team.
The first practice will be May 11 in Boston where they'll play a group of local all-stars. Follow NLS for more reports on the USA Ultimate national team.
