Management Team
Charlie Meister - General Manager
Charlie grew up on Long Island, where he was one of four brothers to play for Deer Park High School. All four of the Meister brothers continued their lacrosse careers at Brown University where they each captained their respective graduating years from 1971 – 1981 and the Meister/Kavan Field is named in their honor. Charlie received his MBA from USC in 1990 in Entrepreneurial Studies and Global Marketing. He started the first youth lacrosse program in LA County which directly led to the start of CIF High School Lacrosse in the Southern Section. After working with the USC team during the Fall '13 and seeing how hard the players worked, he decided he would volunteer to help them get organized. Under Charlie's leadership, they reestablished the Executive Board - which runs the organization and makes all the decisions. Charlie heads all administrative and recruiting operations.
