There are three ways US lacrosse players can compete in the World Games (at the Men's level or u19 level of play):
1. As a US team player in the World Championships
2. With a team that enters the Open Festival tournament that plays alongside the World Championships
3. For another country in the World Championships - as a part of their 15% expat roster (about 4-5 non-native players allowed to play on the teams of other countries).
A few good US players, especially ones who know how to work together - on any team's roster - does three things for the team:
1. It helps the team compete (Puerto Rico and the Phillipines both broke into the top 10 this way).
2. It builds relationships with another country and a core area in the US, which will likely pay off long term.
3. It helps teach the game to the world - which raising the level of play in other countries - is the greatest need to help develop parody in the game.
4-5 US u19 players - that purposed to make themselves available to pursue a place on a roster with an open country for the games - would end up being one of the great experiences lacrosse could afford them. This is the third letter from the Coordinator of the u19 event, with some key contact info.
