Who runs
practice

Every one of them volunteers. They took a program with no history and a winless season and turned it into a state semifinalist in two years.

Coaching staff

The people
on the sideline

Six volunteer coaches run the program day to day — a head coach who runs the season, and five assistants who split the on-field work between offense, midfield, and defense. None of them are paid; all of them are members of the Owyhee community who wanted this program to exist.

Mike Anderson, Owyhee Storm lacrosse head coach, on the sideline

Mike Anderson

Head coach

Born and raised in Idaho, Mike spent nearly a decade as a varsity lacrosse coach in Salt Lake City before bringing that experience back to the Gem State. An old-school coach at heart, he believes in multi-sport athleticism, physical toughness, and relentless work — and in building resilient leaders off the field, not just skilled players on it. He runs the program, so he is the first person to talk to if you are thinking about playing, whether your son has played for years or has never picked up a stick. Outside lacrosse he works in tech sales and spends his time with his wife Claire and their two children.

Kevin Measom, Owyhee Storm lacrosse coach, on the sideline

Kevin Measom

Offensive coordinator

Nine years coaching players from seven to eighteen, across both rec and club. Originally from Orem, Utah, Kevin has been in the Boise area for fifteen years and is the former head coach of the Owyhee boys middle school program. He coaches development and discipline, leads by example, and is usually running or lifting alongside the team. Off the field: fly fishing, mountain biking, motorcycles, golf, and flying.

Judd Wynn, Owyhee Storm lacrosse coach, on the sideline

Judd Wynn

Defensive coach

Judd started coaching lacrosse in 2011 as a dad helping with a youth program and has not stopped since — mostly paid in T-shirts. A former middle linebacker, he has always been defensive-minded, and has coached basketball, baseball, and football besides. He joined Owyhee in 2021, just as the boys program was getting started. He believes in playing from the inside out, doing the basics well, and trusting the guys around you: take care of the little things in front of you, and the big things get whittled down into little things you can handle.

David Lorenzo, Owyhee Storm lacrosse coach, at the field

David Lorenzo

Defensive coach

Originally from northern New Jersey, David brings more than thirty years of lacrosse to the Storm defense as an athlete, player/coach, and club administrator. A Penn State graduate and lifelong student of the game, he coaches character and discipline, sportsmanship, strong fundamentals, and a team-first mentality. Off the field he teaches fifth grade at Independence Elementary in Star. He and his wife Amy have three daughters, and he is an avid fly fisherman.

Kyle Grove, Owyhee Storm lacrosse coach, on the sideline

Kyle Grove

Assistant coach

Eight years of playing experience, including NJCAA Region III Honorable Mention honors in New York. That time as a player shaped how he coaches and what he expects: discipline, toughness, and teamwork. He is after more than better lacrosse players — character, confidence, accountability, and work ethic that hold up off the field. Kyle works as a State Electrical Inspector, and is usually hunting, fishing, or with his wife and two kids.

Billy Phinizy

Offense and midfield

Originally from Washington, Billy played two seasons of Division III lacrosse at Greensboro College in North Carolina. He coaches offense and midfield, and is set on keeping the environment fun and high-energy — the kind that builds creativity, athleticism, and a genuine love for the game.

There is a role
that fits your time

You do not need to be at every practice to help. Some of the most useful roles show up for one drill a week, or one job on game day.

  • Goalie instruction
  • Faceoff training
  • Wall-ball sessions with newer players
  • Helping run drills at practice
  • Ball crew — a great fit for a younger sibling or a parent

If you played in college, played in high school, or just played somewhere once and remember how it works, there is a place for you here. Coaches register through USA Lacrosse the same way players do, and the club covers the membership.

Coaches run the team. The board runs the nonprofit behind it — meet them on The Club.
