About Our Coaches
Coach Thomas Slemko is the Head Coach of Brandywine High School boys lacrosse. He has been a Delaware lacrosse player for as long as he can remember. Coach Slemko remembers seeing lacrosse games on a TV in restaurants when he was 10 years old or so and thinking, "Wow, this looks really fun." Then, that Spring, his mom signed him up for the Brandywine Youth Lacrosse Club and the rest was history. He then went on to play at Concord High School for all 4 years as a goalie and received 1st Team All-Conference his senior year. Coach Slemko's goal in high school was to coach lacrosse at the school he taught at, and he has achieved that goal. Coach Slemko is currently also teaching Social Studies at Brandywine High School. Lacrosse has always been his passion and he can't wait to share that passion with those that come through his programs! Coach Slemko is looking forward to an awesome week of camp this summer!
