Press Release
Fork Union Military Academy (FUMA) announced the hiring of a seasoned NCAA coach and former top professional National Lacrosse League player, Chris Panos, as the head coach for the Academy’s new postgraduate lacrosse program and assistant director of athletics.
Panos brings a combination of expertise, passion, and a stellar track record in both coaching and playing lacrosse to FUMA.
With years of experience on the field, Panos has excelled in coaching roles at all levels, from high school to collegiate teams, most recently as the head coach of the NCAA Division I Queens University of Charlotte men’s lacrosse program in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“I’m excited and blessed for my next challenge in building the first ever PG lacrosse program at Fork Union Military Academy,” said Panos. “With many professional opportunities to choose from, FUMA really stuck out to me in the interview process for many reasons, including their prestigious reputation for outstanding academics, athletics, character development and college placement, as well as their core values of mind, body and spirit, all while educating, developing and inspiring young men, so for me personally growing up in a military family setting, this seemed like a natural fit at the right time in my coaching career to build a new PG program, give back to the community and make my family proud in the process.”
