The Bulldog Bash is about a desire to work hard, play harder, and come out as the top dog in this middle school and high school tournament. NXT has come together with Division I coach, Andy Shay, of Yale University to create an unmatched presence of lacrosse in New England. The Summer Bulldog Bash tournament has become one of the largest summer lacrosse tournaments in the area, hosting over 180 youth and high school teams annually.
This event is open to any and all participants in the corresponding graduation years. This event happens twice a year in both the summer and fall so be sure to sign your teams up for both to play against the nation's highest competition.
Family-friendly block scheduling: spend half of the day on the field, and the other half experiencing New Haven and the surrounding areas.
Failure to meet the payment deadline will constitute non-acceptance of the tournament registration and forfeiture of the tournament spot and deposit fee.
