Lax Coach Expands Programs

As the winter is upon us, M11 Miller Lacrosse and local coach Brady Miller are already thinking of the spring and summer seasons. Coach Miller and his staff of local, recently graduated lacrosse players are going over their practice strategies and getting excited.
They are looking very forward to a new season of lacrosse. “I enjoy being outside, teaching and instructing. It is a really great to watch my players have fun and improve. I love the excitement and promise of a new season,” says Coach Miller.
Miller comes from a well-known family in Manhasset with a long and storied history with lacrosse. Bill and Angela Miller’s family is one that is hard to come by these days—12 children spanning 24 years. “Sports were a very big part of our lives growing up. They taught us discipline, teamwork and the benefits of hard work,” said Coach Brady Miller. You may know the patriarch, Bill Miller, from the PAL Youth Lacrosse program, which he helped to start, and coached in, for more than 45 years. All of the Miller children went on to play varsity athletics and Division I sports—lacrosse being the number choice. Blake Miller, one of the 10 boys, is a two-time USA Lacrosse team member and the current assistant lacrosse coach for the Men’s Varsity Lacrosse team at Manhasset High School.
Coach Brady Miller (number 11 in the line-up) enjoyed the game so much that he went on to start Miller Lacrosse (M11). “Manhasset is a very special community, the players are dedicated, fun and willing to learn, and the parents couldn’t be more supportive,” says Coach Miller. You will often see Miller Lacrosse camp and clinic donations at fundraisers all over the town. “Manhasset has done a great deal for me and my family and I want to support the community however I can,” he said.
The Miller Lacrosse method works for both beginner and advanced players. Instruction is geared to help the player develop both technical and tactical game skills in real time situations. Coaching incorporates competitive drills and games so that the player stays engaged, has fun and is challenged during each session.
M11 Miller Lacrosse runs travel teams for youth boys and girls in the Northeast and Florida. His teams allow all players the time to grow and learn in a supportive and fun environment. Coach Brady also holds morning instructional summer camps in Greenwich, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Montauk.
M11 is a local business that makes a point to hire young adults in the community to coach and mentor its youth lacrosse programs. “Hiring local benefits everyone. It give the young players someone to look up to and offers a work opportunity to young adults just starting out,” says Coach Miller.
