January 2021 Update - We are pleased to announce that we have named an Interim Head Coach, John DiCamillo. We are also pleased to announce the Interim Offensive Coordinator, Thor Rassmussen. We are confident that these two gentlemen, who have coached together at VLC, along with our JV Head Coach, Nick Delaware, and assistant JV Coach, Andrew Neville will make it a great experience for this year's team.
John DiCamillo grew up in Baltimore and played in one of the premier lacrosse conferences, the MIAA, while at St. Paul’s where he was a team captain and an All-Metro selection as a Senior. He was a four-year Varsity letter winner and an All-Conference and North-South All Star Selection in his senior year at Ohio State. Coach DiCamillo started his coaching career in the DIII ranks at Denison University in Ohio and later at Goucher College in Baltimore from 2002-2004. Since relocating to the DC area, he has stayed actively involved in the community as a volunteer lacrosse coach, named a Fairfax County Champion of Character Coach of the Year in 2013. As a youth coach, DiCamillo has won 6 NVYLL championships alongside a great group of kids, parents and coaches. He is also a Director of Virginia Lacrosse Club (VLC) and has helped many of his players on to the college level to include future All Americans, All-Pro’s and several NCAA champions!
Coach DiCamillo began his career in commercial real estate at CBRE in 2004, and is focused on the Washington, DC and Northern Virginia Office Markets, specializing in Landlord and Tenant representation
Thor Rasmussen currently coaches at VLC and most recently coached at Madison and Fairfax High Schools. He played at Gordon College and was a Member of the Varsity Lacrosse Team, earning 4x CCC Academic Honors, 3x CCC player of the week, CCC Rookie of the week after OT game winner vs UNE, Senior Year Offensive “Quarterback," and led team in unassisted scoring and hockey assists. He attended Fairfax High School where he was a Varsity Lacrosse Team Captain, Varsity Swim Team Captain, 3x Varsity Tri-athlete, and 4x Scholar Athlete. He is active in the Fellowship of Christisan Athletes. Rasmussen, a finance major at Gordon, works for EMCOR Government Services, as a Pricing Analyst in Arlington, Virginia.
We want to thank Coach Delaware for his leadership during the workouts in January and beyond!
We will conduct a full search after the season.
There will be a Zoom call for parents and players on Friday, Jan. 29 at 5:30 p.m. to hear Coach DiCamillo's vision for this year's team. Please contact cspann@bishopoconnell.org to get the Zoom link.
