Selections Announced for 2026 Senior Nexus Championship
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – USA Field Hockey is pleased to announce the athletes that have been selected to compete in the 2026 Senior Nexus Championship (NXC), presented by Osaka Hockey, which will be held at the Virginia Beach Regional Training Center in Virginia Beach, Va. from July 17 to 19.
The Senior NXC is held annually and features 144 elite collegiate athletes, post-collegiate athletes, and members of Junior High Performance. During the spring and early summer, athletes trialed and trained at one of the seven USA Field Hockey Senior Nexus Training Sites throughout the country for an opportunity to be selected to the Senior NXC.
All athletes that were previously named to the U.S. U-18 Women's National Team and U.S. U-21 Women's National Team were also included within the selection.
A roster of 20 athletes from the U-21 USWNT was not included in these selections, and are competing in England at a Four Nations Tournament from July 8 to 15.
A step along the Olympic Development Pathway program, the Senior NXC serves as a selection opportunity for the 2026-27 Junior USWNT Selection Camps, U.S. Women’s National Development Squad, and USWNT.
The Senior NXC will start with a team training session on Friday, July 17, with games starting on Saturday, July 18. The players who have been selected will receive an email within the next 24 hours with registration details. In the event an invited player is unable to attend, all athletes who participated in the Senior Nexus Training Sites are considered alternates and will be notified if a roster position opens. The top alternates that will be called first are listed below in alphabetical order.
