Letter From The Presidents

Sep. 13, 2011

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 8^th season of Alpharetta Lacrosse.  The Board, along with Head Coach Mike Scheifflee, has worked all summer preparing for another dynamic season of Men’s Lacrosse at Alpharetta High School. 

We would like to welcome back Mike Scheifflee as the Head Coach of our program for the 8^th straight year, as well as a few new faces that we are very excited about.  Our existing high school staff will be joined by Nick and Marco Antinarella: brothers from Liverpool, NY who have extensive Lacrosse experience.  Nick attended SUNY Cortland College and spent time playing box  lacrosse in the late 90’s while Marco attended Le Moyne College and still holds the all-time career saves record of 620.  In addition to the Antinarella brothers, we are pleased to add Casey Knapp to our staff.  Casey is a young man who has played lacrosse since the age of 12, was instrumental in starting the lacrosse program in Forsyth County and has spent time in the US Navy.

We are very happy to have Andrew Zumwalt and Jeff Smith returning to our program as our Strength and Conditioning Coach and our head JV Coach respectively.  In addition to this cast, we are very fortunate to have Coach Harry Feuerstein returning in a consulting role. 

Our program has grown since our first season in 2005 due in large part to the tireless efforts of the volunteers who make it all happen and a coaching staff that goes above and beyond.  We have built a Junior Raider Program that is 2 teams strong.  We have added activities to strengthen team unity like the Senior Retreat, an Annual Varsity Spring Break trip, an Annual Alumni Game, and this year we will host our first Junior Varsity Team Building event.  We run a very successful summer camp for elementary school and middle school age players, as well as a high school summer team that has an exemplary record.  We hosted our first SELC tournament in 2011 and are honored to be hosting again in 2012.

We are proud of all of our players, our coaches, and the many parents and siblings that make up the Alpharetta Men’s Lacrosse family!  We wish the coaching staff and all the players a successful 2012 season!
