NXT History

NXT was officially founded in 2007 by a couple of guys who had met years earlier while working lacrosse camps. Together, they innovated the way lacrosse was taught and tournaments were run. That meeting has turned into an operation that spans the country and has influenced thousands and thousands of athletes.
