NXT SAFETY IS AN INDUSTRY LEADER
NXT follows careful safety procedures at all practices and events. All coaches must be PA Act 153-certified. We also have an athletic trainer on site for every practice, monitor weather and send text alert updates.
As box lacrosse gains momentum in the US, NXT is powering Phila Box, a full girls box program! We believe this to be the perfect off-season training for our field players. Box lacrosse improves a player’s decision-making speed, stick skills, situational awareness, and off-ball movement.
Box Lacrosse teaches players how to execute plays in a physical, fast paced environment. Players must play both sides of the ball, broadening skill sets, lax IQ and overall toughness.
Phila Box is committed to continuing our promise of developing lacrosse players and believes playing box is one of the most beneficial ways to improve a player's game. The Phila 99ers are our box lacrosse club teams and field teams at five different age groups (HS Varsity, HS JV, MS Varsity, MS JV, and Youth) with elite coaches, curriculum, and events that will directly impact each participant's overall lacrosse IQ.
