Assistant Coach

Coach Dugan is in his third season as a coach with Rage Lacrosse. He now calls Bristol, TN home - but learned to love the game growing up in the greater Philadelphia, PA area. If he's not at practice or watching lacrosse, he's probably cheering on his Philly sports teams! 

Coach Dugan played four seasons at attack for Pennsbury High School in Fairless Hills, PA. 

"I’m looking forward to another spring of growth, learning, and fun in 2025!"

Student Coach

Hello, I’m Coach Ross!

Currently, I am studying in the pre-engineering sciences program at Virginia Highlands Community College. Following VHCC, I plan on transferring to Virginia Tech where I will complete my mechanical engineering degree. 

I have been a part of Rage Lacrosse for over a decade, and I am excited to be able to give back to the great program it is. Lacrosse has taught me an innumerable amount of life lessons, and I’m looking forward to sharing them with the players. Go Rage!
