More About Coach Michael
Greetings! My name is Mike Amoruso. My hometown is Ridgewood, New Jersey. I started my coaching career doing both individual and group training sessions with local clients grades 3rd-12th in the summer of 2023. During this past spring of 2024, I was hired by Stephen Swett, to coach private group training sessions in Fairfield, CT. Now that I am back in New Jersey I am continuing to do my own individual and group private training sessions.
I went to high school at Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, NJ. My accolades at DBP included Best Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2019, Most Important Player of the Year Award in 2022, 4x Varsity Letterman, 2x County Champion, 1x State Champion, and 1x TOC Champion. I am currently a Junior at Sacred Heart University. This past year I was a starter for the Pioneers where my team won our first ever MAAC Conference Championship!
During my sessions I often do the same or similar drills with all my players. The only real difference is the pace of play. For my younger clients, it’s all about fundamentals. Learning to throw and catch, shoot with the right form, shoot on the run, footwork, ladder drills, communication and IQ. For my older and more experienced groups or individuals it is all about IQ. How can you be different from someone “the same skill level” as you? I teach my players high IQ drills and plays to get an edge on their competition. Offensively this includes footwork, dodging from different spots on the field, setting picks, 2 man games, big littles, communication, hiding your stick when shooting, faking and finishing, quick sticks, etc. Defensively, we will work on communication, footwork, sticks in passing lanes, approaching the ball, off ball defense, big littles, pick plays, what to do in an offensive situation, etc.

Coach Michael has been instrumental in helping my son develop the essential skills needed to play lacrosse, particularly in footwork, stick handling, and on-field communication. His sessions are well-structured, ensuring that my son not only understands the basics but also feels confident applying them in games. Thanks to Coach Michael, my son’s progress has been remarkable, and he’s more excited than ever to play. Highly recommend him.
