Dave Fraboni
- Title:
- Volunteer Assistant Coach
University of Massachusetts men's lacrosse and head coach Greg Cannella welcomed Dave Fraboni to the program as a volunteer assistant coach ahead of the Fall, 2018 training schedule. Fraboni worked closely with the program's faceoff specialists on the field and in the film room throughout the 2019 season in addition to supporting the program in a host of administrative manners.
Fraboni oversaw the development of soon-to-be all-conference and all-region honoree Tom Meyers into one of the nation's most reliable faceoff specialists throughout the year. During his senior year and his only season as the team's primary faceoff specialist, Meyers went 212-for-347 at the dot for a .611 win percentage and grabbed 121 groundballs.
Fraboni arrived in Amherst after he worked with the Bucknell men's lacrosse program as a volunteer. While at Bucknell he tutored the goalies and assisted with offensive strategies and planning.
Prior to joining Bucknell, Fraboni spent the past four seasons as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator at the Coast Guard Academy. There, he executed and planned offensive strategies, coordinated recruiting and organized and analyzed game and practice film.
Before joining the Bears, Fraboni spent one season as an assistant coach at Saint Michael's College. During his time with the Purple Knights, he served as the offensive coordinator and also coordinated faceoff and wing strategies and also worked with the goalies.
A four-year member of the powerhouse Springfield lacrosse team, Fraboni appeared in 21 games at midfield. During his career, the Pride won the Pilgrim League tournament and qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship each year.
While in college, Fraboni worked for Springfield's Peak Lacrosse Camp, where he coached players ranging from youth to rising high school seniors.
Fraboni graduated from Springfield in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in general studies with a sports studies concentration and a minor in coaching. He later obtained his master's degree in sport coaching from the University of Denver in 2017.
