Coach James Brugger joined Lake Norman High School in 2009 as an assistant coach, helping lead the program to its first state championship in 2012. In 2013, he took over as head coach and continued to build on the program’s success, leading the Wildcats to another state championship in 2018. Under his leadership, Lake Norman has advanced to the State Championship eight times. Throughout his tenure, Coach Brugger has also earned Coach of the Year honors on multiple occasions.
A Long Island native, Coach Brugger played high school lacrosse at Elmont High School before continuing his playing career at C.W. Post, where he was a member of the NCAA Division II National Championship team. His experience as both a player and coach has shaped his commitment to developing athletes, building competitive teams, and growing the game of lacrosse.
Coach Brugger has played an instrumental role in introducing and growing lacrosse throughout the Lake Norman area for both boys and girls. As a founding member of Lake Norman United then becoming co owner of Running Rebels, he has extensive experience developing players of all ages and skill levels. He is also the co-owner of Premier Carolina Lacrosse, an elite boys’ travel lacrosse program in North Carolina, where he serves as a director and coach, helping prepare players for competition at the highest levels.
Coach Brugger lives in Mooresville, North Carolina, with his wife, Keri, and their children, Maddy and James. Both Maddy and James followed in their father’s footsteps, playing lacrosse at Lake Norman High School and continuing their careers at the collegiate level.
