PRESIDENT

CHRIS MANLEY

Chris Manley has been dedicated to the sport of lacrosse for more than three decades as both a player and coach.

A standout at Penn Yan Academy, he was a three-time varsity letterman, two-time First Team All-League, captain his senior year, and a member of the 2001 New York State Championship team.

He went on to earn a full athletic scholarship to the D1 Fairfield University Stags, where he was a three-year starter, senior captain, Great Western Lacrosse League Champion and NCAA Tournament competitor.

Following College, Chris moved to Miami where he became the lacrosse coach at Belen Jesuit Preparatory School. He helped establish the Miami Stone Crabs Lacrosse Program and later co-founded the Manley Camp with wife, Lauren, creating opportunities for youth athletes to grow in skill, character, and love for the game.

Chris also served his country as a US Army Special Forces Green Beret, where he led, trained, and deployed with partner forces from Asia to the Middle East.

After completing his service this past September, he and his family relocated to Montana, where he now shares his passion for the sport as a coach for the NorthWest Lacrosse Youth Association.
