President: Matt Neef
Matt attended Salesianum High School where he excelled at Lacrosse, playing long stick in defense. His life-long love of the sport eventually led to him becoming involved in Brandywine Blackhawks Lacrosse back in 2012 when he signed his children up to play. His passion for the sport and youth coaching led to him becoming a coach and eventually joining the Board of Directors. Matt has had the pleasure of coaching many players since they were in grade school who have gone on to play competitively in high school and college! Many of his former players, who are now adults, continue to call him “Coach Matt” and are always willing to come back to help out the program!
Vice President: Frank Fry
Frank started playing playing lacrosse in college because there was no high school lacrosse in Delaware at the time. In college, it quickly became evident that is was his sport of choice. In graduate school, he was able to play club lacrosse at Colorado State University. After college and graduate school he played club lacrosse in Maryland while he coached a high school team on the Eastern Shore. Soon after that he started officiating high school and eventually college lacrosse. He continues officiating to this day.
Frank has been with the Brandywine Lacrosse Club since his boys started in elementary school. As of 2016, they are now 28 and 25 and continue to play at the club level. Frank has coached at all levels for the Black Hawks and has most recently been coaching the K-2 age group for the last several years, attempting to instill a love for the game he has to this day.
