JT Jennings

JT grew up around lacrosse and played throughout his childhood. His father served as commissioner of the National Lacrosse League (NLL) from 2000 to 2009, and the sport was a big part of family life.

JT first interned with Israel Lacrosse during the 2015 Men’s Indoor Lacrosse Championship in Syracuse, New York. A month later, he moved to Kiryat Gat, a city in southern Israel, to help grow the game. He introduced lacrosse at hundreds of schools across the country and coached youth teams, helping more young people discover the sport and become part of the Israel Lacrosse community.

He also helped manage the 2018 Men’s World Lacrosse Championship and the 2019 Women’s European Lacrosse Championship.

Over the years, JT has supported Israel Lacrosse in a wide range of roles. Through that work, he discovered a passion for marketing and technology. What he loves most about Israel Lacrosse is “exposing our incredible sport to people who have never seen it before.”

JT has made Israel his permanent home since moving there in 2015.
