The Xtreme came into existence in 2012, when Victor Cole and five other partners, decided to use the money they had saved up from their tours in Afghanistan.[1] In 2012, the Xtreme played a preseason exhibition game against the Evansville Rage, of the Continental Indoor Football League,[2] losing 26-56. After the 2012 CIFL season, the Xtreme played another exhibition game, this time against the Indianapolis Enforcers, also of the CIFL. They Xtreme defeated the Enforcers 20-16.[3] In July 2012, the Xtreme announced that they would be playing at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky.[1][4] With the arena in place, the team named former Louisville Fire assistant coach, Roy McMillen as their first ever head coach.[1]

Main article: 2014 Kentucky Xtreme season

The Xtreme will return to the CIFL in 2014.[5] In August, 2013, the Xtreme named LaKunta Farmer the team's second head coach in franchise history.[6] In November 2013, former Arena Football League Rookie of the Year Award winner, Mario Urrutia joined the Xtreme ownership group, and will also play on the team.[7] With most of the teams roster returning, the Xtreme seemed to be poised for a good season, but the team struggled mightily, starting the season 0-5, including 2 forfeit losses. After their second forfeit, the CIFL announced that Xtreme had been suspended by the league, and that affiliate teams would fill out the Xtreme's remaining road games.[8]
