Heating Up Your Summer

 NXT’s largest boys summer event. From elite high school competition to the festival atmosphere for youth teams, the annual Meltdown Lacrosse Tournament has become a summer tradition for programs across the region. Last year’s event sold out, welcoming 237 teams, more than 4,600 athletes, and participants from 15 different states for an unforgettable weekend of competition.

With family-friendly block scheduling, teams spend only part of the day on the field, leaving plenty of time to explore Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Whether you're visiting historic landmarks, enjoying local restaurants, or taking in the city’s attractions, Meltdown offers the perfect balance of high-level lacrosse and a memorable family travel experience.
