TSL FALL 2008 Thank You Letter - Please read below

November 25, 2008

To All Our TSL Players and Parents,

All of us at Fusion Lacrosse would like to extend to you our gratitude for another successful year of select team lacrosse. Although the autumn tournaments were a truncated experience, this year was as rewarding as any in the past; although it tried, even the weather couldn’t dampen our pride in how our kids grew their game. In this holiday season of reflection, homecoming, and introspection, the TSL staff recognizes how lucky we are to have had the opportunity to work with some of the finest kids, and best lacrosse players, for which any parent, or coach, could ask.

Of course, none of this could have been done without you, the parents, and we thank you for your unflagging support in the face of whatever came our way. We would particularly like to acknowledge the generous endowment made by Bill and Maria Meyer, which enabled us to significantly increase the amount of scholarships we were able to offer to worthy kids.

We had indicated to you that we would be working on refund policy, and even though we are still in the process of haggling with the tournament organizers for our own refund, we feel it is only right to offer all of those kids who could not play on that weekend, one of two options. For those who are planning on participating in next summer’s TSL session, we can extend a $60.00 credit (to be applied toward a future session), and for those for whom this was “the last hurrah”, we can offer what represents the tournament fee for each player, $50.00. In either case, if you would be so kind to fill out the attached form, and send it back to us, we will do our best to get you the refund before year’s end.

Also, if all successful things must adapt and change, please know that we are in process of revamping the TSL format which will, hopefully, make the experience even more rewarding for both our returning rosters, and the next wave of boys who wear the black and red. Please stay abreast of these developments on our website, www.fusionlacrosse.com.

Finally, please accept our best wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season, and do not hesitate to contact either Jon Lantzy, or Bob Cappelletti, if you have any questions, or require any further assistance.

All the Best,

Fusion Lacrosse

Sandy Kapatos, Head Coach

    Coach Kapatos comes to Ravenscroft with a very impressive resume. Kapatos began his coaching career at SUNY Cortland, as a defensive coordinator and goalkeeper coach, from 1980-81. The Red Dragons went to the NCAA Division II national championship game in both of those years. Kapatos earned a bachelor's degree in physical education at SUNY Cortland in 1981 during that time, as well.
     Following Cortland, Kapatos returned to Long Island to become the coach at Holy Trinity High School. He amassed a 24-12 record over three seasons, leading Trinity to consecutive NSCLL finals. Kapatos was subsequently named the head coach at MacArthur High School, in his native Levittown in 1989, where he compiled a three-year record of 24-12 and was named the Coach of the Year.
    As Head Coach at Adelphi University, Coach Kapatos compiled a record of 16-6 in NCAA tournament games, which included a 4-2 record in NCAA Division II championship games, and he tied for the most championships won in Division II. His four championship appearences (during a seven-year run from 1993-1999), ended with the Panthers winning back-to-back titles in 1998 and 1999.
     Kapatos, the fifth head coach in the Adelphi program history, has a career record of 102-43 (.703 winning percentage) over 12 seasons. He has developed 59 All-Americans, including national players of the year, Anthony Piccone (1998), Rob Grella (1996), and Gary Reh (1995).
