Mikey Thompson Joins V3 Staff
V3 Lacrosse is happy to announce that Mikey Thompson has joined our staff as a guest coach and midfield position specialist. He will be participating in practices, tryouts and clinics as his busy professional lacrosse schedule permits – please welcome him to our program!
V3 Lacrosse has done an excellent job growing the game in the Hampton Roads area. I am amazed by the number of kids that are out on the field working on their skills several days a week. The future of lacrosse in this area is bright!
I am also a very big supporter of the integration of box lacrosse into the youth leagues. Learning the rules and techniques of box lacrosse will undoubtedly foster a more complete game for all of the kids involved. Learning how to handle the ball in tight spaces is something that is often overlooked in the outdoor game. I look forward to continuing to work with the V3 players and staff in the future!
Mikey is the assistant Coach at Christopher Newport University and plays midfield for the newly formed Charlotte Hounds along with former UVA teammates Brian Carroll and Adam Ghittleman. His bio is located here:
