COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Volleyball has named Grant Lamoureux and Cole Hartke to U.S. National Teams for the 2025 season, recognizing them as two of the top young athletes in the country.
“We are thrilled for Grant and Cole to get the opportunity to compete with the USA group this summer,” said head coach Jonathan Winder. “It will be fun to watch both of them play alongside other top players in the U.S. and compete against some of the best in the world in their age groups.”
Lamoureux was selected as one of 28 athletes invited to join the 2025 U.S. Boys U19 National Team. He will participate in a training block held June 1–7 at the National Team Training Center in Anaheim, where the roster will compete for spots on the travel roster for upcoming international events. At the end of training, 12 athletes will be selected to compete at the 2025 NORCECA Boys U19 Pan American Cup, and another 12 will be selected to compete at the 2025 FIVB Boys U19 World Championship.
Hartke earned a roster spot on the 2025 U.S. Men’s U21 National Team. The squad will prepare for two major international competitions this summer: the NORCECA Men’s U21 Pan American Cup and the FIVB Men’s U21 World Championship. Hartke played on the NORCECA U21 Continental Championship team that won gold in 2024. The gold medal qualified the team for this year’s World Championship.
Joining Hartke to represent USA Volleyball is Waves’ associate head coach, Matthew Pollock. Pollock will be an assistant coach for both the Pan Am and the World Championship.
USA Volleyball’s National Team Development Program (NTDP) supports the growth of high-potential athletes through training and competition at the highest level. More information about the 2025 U19 and U21 teams, as well as the summer competition schedules, can be found at usavolleyball.org.
