Coaches

Britney Lukowski played collegiate lacrosse at Savannah College of Art and Design, where she was a two-year team captain, a 2012 All-National Women’s Lacrosse League Second Team selection, and a 2013 Second Team NWLL All-American.

She began her coaching career while still in college as an assistant coach for the M&D 2014 Red team and has since coached high school JV, varsity, and club lacrosse programs throughout Maryland, Virginia, and most recently Florida.

Coach Brit is passionate about overall athletic development and brings additional experience in youth fitness and yoga. She previously led the kids’ program at a Baltimore-based CrossFit gym, taught yoga to athletes of all ages, and volunteered with an adaptive athlete CrossFit program.

She is dedicated to developing well-rounded players who are supportive teammates on and off the field, confident in themselves, and never afraid to be strong.

Ryan Rowlands has 20+ years of experience in men’s lacrosse. He grew up in upstate New York where he played starting at age 5 and continued through college. He graduated from Elizabethtown College NCAADIII, where he competed in the NCAA tournament three times. “The game of lacrosse has given me so much in the form of educational opportunities I otherwise would not have had, friendships, and countless life lessons. I am so excited at the opportunity to give back to the sport, and to hopefully share some of my wisdom with the next generation of players.” He is a proud father to two dughters, one who plays on Riptide, and another who’s not quite old enough to play (yet)!

Mike has been coaching for Delray Riptide girls lacrosse since 2019. He also coaches Florida Elite girls travel lacrosse, as well as girls lacrosse at Unity School in Delray Beach. In addition, he serves as a Riptide Board Member and Director. His two daughters are Riptide players. Mike’s outstanding dedication to the Riptide program and to girls lacrosse in Delray have helped grow the sport and program.

Mike played lacrosse middie for 4 years at Bridgewater State in Massachusetts. Post college he played 3 years as a Second Row for the Boston Rugby Football Club in the US Rugby Super League. On and off the field, Mike is a passionate, innovative leader with experience launching five businesses from inception to profit. He currently owns a consulting business catering to global StartUps.

“My passion for coaching comes from the joy I receive in watching the players improve over time. I like to teach the girls that the weakest ‘muscle’ in their body is their brains, helping them build the confidence to step out of their comfort zone and achieve things they didn’t believe they could do. Recreational lacrosse is intended to teach the love of the game and help players of every skill level find a way to contribute.”

COACHING EXPERIENCE:

• From 2011-2021, Craig Fleishman coached 10 seasons as the Delbarton School varsity assistant coach and offensive coordinator. In those 10 seasons, the Delbarton Green Wave was crowned NJ State Champions 4 times in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018 in 6 championship appearances. The Green Wave also won 8 Non-Public A state championships, 7 Morris County tournaments, and graduated 17 USILA All-Americans.
• As a 2013 US Lacrosse National Convention Speaker, Coach Fleishman lectured on the “No Mistake Offense,” and in 2015, was voted the NJ Assistant Coach of the Year. In 6 of his 10 seasons as the Delbarton offensive coordinator, the Green Wave ranked in the top ten nationally, including the #1 national ranking in 2018.
• As a Patriot Elite head coach with Patriot Lacrosse in NJ, Coach Fleishman is familiar with the lacrosse club scene and environment. As a premier coach for Patriot since 2004, he has coached youth and high school elite travel teams, directed camps and tryouts. He has also established, organized, and coached shooting schools and advanced offensive skills clinics.
• Coach Fleishman promotes a “player first” approach. He believes in the little things, and thus focuses on skill development and the details of lacrosse mechanics.
• He established Fury Lacrosse with a player-first, skills-first learning development model because he believes the details matter; when you focus on the little things, the big things take care of themselves. This philosophy not only promotes individual player success and team success, but is also critical in establishing personal relationships and trust between players and coaches. Fury Lacrosse focuses on building individual skill and as a result, players build confidence in themselves, their teammates, and their coaches.

“I love coaching and just being on the fields. I like to teach the boys to have commitment, heart, and hustle. My focus is: ‘hustle beats talent’ and ‘ground balls win games’. I believe in teaching kids the importance of being committed to a team, being open to learning, and listening. The least experienced players are as important to me as the best players on my team. Each player has their own place on our team.”
