Professional approach. Personal touch.



About Us



Chuck Officiating Hey, 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 four different sports for nearly 20 years. Like you, I was frustrated by the lack of a centralized store on Long Island with a wide selection of gear for multiple sports.

On March 25, 2004, I opened The Sports Loft with a simple motto: Professional Approach, Personal Touch. We are all officials in multiple sports. You may see some of my friends with me at meetings - Kevin Bruen, John Cornwell, Bill Marchese, Hector Seda, Rob Toolan and Joe Zawistowski. Teamwork - one partner helping another - is what officiating is all about.

On Dec. 1, 2008, we moved into 283 Orinoco Drive in Brightwaters. We have enough space to stock inventory for fellow officials in six sports. Our objective is to attend meetings and service officials in baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, soccer and softball. And if we miss you at a meeting, we have a spacious place to service your needs.

We carry high-quality gear and provide superb customer service. We have been the exclusive supplier for ECUA since it started seven years ago and we added CBUAO in 2010 and ABURI in 2011. We also service AFU, Big Apple, ESBUA, LIAUA, NAUA, NJBL, NYSBUA, NYSSO and WSBUA. Joining our 2011 supplier lineup are Power-Tek and Reebok. Other lines include A-B Emblem, Boston Leather, Champion, Cliff Keen, Diamond, Smitty, Manzella, New Balance, Shape Up, Trenway, Game, Pro Feet, Fox40, Richardson, Gerry Davis and Wilson.

If we can be of assistance, drop us an e-mail. TSL is available to bring Zebra One (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.
