In the Summer of 2017 a group of parents decided to take the summer off from their usual travel teams. Greg Allen, at the time a middle school coach and parent, decided to form Charlotte Fury during this break. Fury attended their first 7v7 tournament in Chattanooga, TN that summer with great success! The rest is history, Charlotte Fury was formed!
Native of Corning, NY (Western, NY) Greg and his wife Deb have called Charlotte home since 1997. He has coached lacrosse, both men and women's, for the past 25 years. In 2004 he and his wife welcomed triplets into their family (two girls, one boy). For obvious reasons he stepped away from coaching for a period of time. Once his children came of age Greg found himself back in the coach's chair once again. Teaching not only other children about the sport he loves, but his own children as well.
