Lake Forest Soccer Association Welcomes New Assistant Director of Coaching!
Press Release: May 23, 2006

While the title of Assistant Director of Coaching may be new, the name of Coach Ty Stuckslager is not to LFSA. Ty has been a dedicated LFSA coach since 2002. He is also the Lake Forest High School Varsity Girl’s Soccer Head Coach and Varsity Boy’s Soccer Assistant Coach. This year’s LFHS Girl’s Varsity Team is comprised of 20 girls out of 22 who rose through the ranks of LFSA. The girls who play for Ty and train at LFSA know the system that he likes to play, so they fit in perfectly at the High School level.
