ey, sports fans. I'm not just smiling because I'm getting some PT with Dickie V. I'm smiling because I love what I do. I'm Chuck DeCarbo, an official in five different sports for more than a decade. Like you, I was frustrated by the lack of a centralized store on Long Island with a wide selection of gear for multiple sports. So on March 25, 2004, I opened The Sports Loft with a simple motto: Professional Approach, Personal Touch.
Our objective is to attend meetings and service officials in baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, soccer and softball.
We are all officials in multiple sports. You may see some of my friends with me at meetings - John Cornwell, Bill Marchese and Rob Toolan to name a few. We'd love to assist. Teamwork - one partner helping another - is what officiating is all about.
We carry high-quality gear and provide superb customer service. Some of our new 2007 lines include Fechheimer, FTP and Wilson. They join McDavid, New Balance, Sansabelt, Shape Up, Smitty, Trenway, Trunk Outlet, Champion, Game, Pro Feet, Fox40, Richardson, Teamwork, Gerry Davis, Spotbilt, Stromgren and Boston Leather.
If we can be of assistance, drop us an e-mail. TSL is available to bring Zebra (our van) to your next clinic or meeting to show gear and apparel and answer any of your questions.
We accept credit cards on site. In the meantime, thanks for stopping by, saving some gas and getting online instead of in line.
