Why us?
Thump Lacrosse has always been more than a club lacrosse program, and we’re excited to combine our passion for transformational impact with our unique skill sets to create this new iteration of our teams.
Coach Tarin and Coach Brent understand the power of lacrosse to transform someone’s life; firmly grounded in their values and extensive experience, they’re reshaping what’s possible with a lacrosse company.
Here’s why Coach Brent Adams and Coach Tarin Storm are able to offer this team at a transformational level:
Coach Brent Adams

In college, he was an All-American at Fairfield University. After growing up in Connecticut, he’s passionate about using his vast lacrosse experience to positively impact the lives of players in the underserved West.

Coach Tarin has a degree in Cognitive Studies from Vanderbilt’s Peabody College - one of the top education schools in the nation. He was selected as a founding member of the National Lead for America Fellowship at age 21 and built Thump Lacrosse into a year-round program.
