About Us | Miami Thunder Lax Cl

Meet the Head Coach and staff

Coach Bridgette Laskey began her career within the realm of boys lacrosse and learned the girls game during summer camp, in college, and eventually by attending clinics/camps run by legends such as: Jen Adams (while she was the top player in the nation), learning the draw from Dana Dobbie, jumping in the goal at goalie camps, working with Taylor Cummings for a Thunder camp, hosting a Gary Gait clinic, and from many more amazing players/coaches. Coach Laskey has been awarded Miami Dade County Coach of the year from '14-'18 and recently received the honor of being inducted into the USA Lacrosse Hall of Fame for South Florida Lacrosse.

Meet the Team

Other coaches through the years have also been award winners, collegiate players, Hall of Fame inductees, former Thunder players, and current head coaches for local high schools and universities. And often we host guests from GA and North FL clubs. Not to mention hosting clinics by Professional players and current collegiate players.
