Three Ultimate coaches are currently representing this country on the US Elite and US Developmental teams. Holly McGarvie, a junior at Princeton University, not only represents the US on the Developmental Lacrosse Team, but also plays field hockey and lacrosse for Princeton. Holly's competitive drive and overall desire to succeed makes her a great player, as well as an excellent teacher of the game.

Michele DeJuliis and Elizabeth Pillion, current members of the US Elite team, have been selected to represent the US as two of the eighteen members chosen to compete at the Prague Cup this summer in anticipation for the 2009 World Cup, also being held in Prague. Michele is currently the longest standing member of the US Elite team, and is the foundation for the program. A US team member for four years, Elizabeth’s athleticism and game sense make her one of the most exciting young players currently playing the game. Other Ultimate coaches who have been members of our National Teams include Rachael Becker and Jami Wilus. One of the greatest defenders in the history of the game, Rachael was a member of the 2005 World Cup team. Jami, recently inducted into La Salle’s Hall of Athletes for her stellar four year career in both field hockey and lacrosse was a member of the Developmental team from 2000-2004.
