NXT 2021

The NXT 2021 team is entering their last year playing together. Plenty of uncommitted talent is on this team as they enter their first fall since the September 1st Division I recruiting period began.

Coach Drew Artin (Former Pennsbury Head Coach) and Coach Steve Layne (Former Richmond Asst Coach) are excited to get going this fall and have emphasized the overall development of the team over the last two seasons. “For the past two years, we have focused on player development and executing the fundamental principles of lacrosse at a high-level in anticipation of the opportunity to compete in front of Division 1, 2 & 3 college coaches. I’m excited about our team’s development and in their development as overall athletes and competitors. I look forward to watching our team display their development over the next year and fulfill their dreams of playing college lacrosse” said Coach Layne.
