Before every high school season, USA Lacrosse Magazine’s writers check in with coaches from their respective regions to help identify five boys and five girls each from the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest and West who have player-of-the-year potential.

This year's All-America Watch List — not to be confused with the formal USA Lacrosse All-American program administered by area chairs with nominations from high school coaches — appears below.

Coming Wednesday, a USA Lacrosse member exclusive with write-ups on each of the 25 high school boys' lacrosse players to watch this spring.
