The player pool features a solid nucleus of returning players from the 2009 ISF team, supported by a strong group of talented young athletes.”

The Senior Men’s National Team coaching staff reserves the right to add or remove players from the Athlete Pool at any time. Inclusion on this list does not guarantee that an athlete will be selected to attend a National Team Tryout Camp.
