The San Antonio Tacos were started in the late spring of 2016 to develop lacrosse skills for middle school and high school aged athletes. We realized that the basis for getting better at field lacrosse, needed to be learning and mastering box lacrosse. We have had kids come out from Alamo Heights, Boerne, Central Catholic, Reagan, Roosevelt, St. Mary's Hall, Smithson Valley and TMI.

The Tacos were started by long time lacrosse coach Michael Brand. Originally from Western New York, Coach Brand's coaching journey has taken him around the world. He has coached or played in nine countries and twenty states, even coaching in the Lacrosse World Championships in 2014 with Team Thailand. At the collegiate level he has coached at Bath University in the UK, Medaille College, Misericordia University, Centenary College, Brown University and Texas State. In 2015 his Texas State team won the Lone Star Alliance championship. Coach Brand then led Reagan to three consecutive Texas High School Lacrosse League district champions from 2016 to 2018.

In the summer of 2017 the first field iteration of the Tacos hit the road. In the three tournaments attended the overall record 8-6-1 while qualifying for two championship games. Box lacrosse was a key component to our field success.
