Tonka Fusion Elite is proud to announce additions to its leadership team in response to a year of rapid growth and the dynamic evolution of the youth soccer landscape.

In a strategic move to enhance its leadership team, TFE welcomes Stephanie Foster as the new Managing Director, who will assume responsibility for all aspects of running the club, effective immediately. A Minnesota native, Stephanie brings deep experience in youth soccer at the local, regional and national soccer level. Her extensive coaching career spans youth, college and professional levels, including head and assistant coaching roles at renowned institutions such as Stanford University, Harvard University, Northwestern University and the NWSL’s Chicago Red Stars. Stephanie’s impressive playing career includes notable achievements at Wayzata High School and Northwestern University, where she presently holds several goal-scoring records. Stephanie’s commitment to providing a competitive and positive environment for young athletes aligns seamlessly with TFE’s vision, making her an exciting addition to the team.

Sinisa Angelovski also joins TFE in the newly established full-time Boys Academy and Director of Youth Development role. Sinisa brings a wealth of experience garnered from his successful tenure at North Shore Soccer Club in Wisconsin. With an impressive 14-year track record in club soccer leadership, Sinisa has played pivotal roles as a coach, Technical Director, and Director of Youth Development, establishing himself as a respected figure with an extensive network in both boys and girls youth soccer ecosystems. Boasting a distinguished playing history that includes time with the Yugoslavian National Team and professional experience in Serbia, Bulgaria and the USA, Sinisa is a true role model for our players. He adds instant credibility to our coaching talent with a USSF B License and Swansea City FA Category 1 Coaching Certificate. Sinisa is dedicated to crafting a cohesive development model for our players and coaches, which will cultivate an optimal path forward for our boys’ program.

Additionally, TFE is thrilled to announce that James See will assume the pivotal role of Communications Director and Advisor to Boys Academy Director. James, who most recently served as Tonka United’s Technical Director and TFE’s Boys Director, has been instrumental in the organization since 2018. We are excited for James to continue with TFE in addition to his professional demands as a Dean of Students in the Wayzata School District. In James’ new role, he will provide a seamless transition for Sinisa, continue to support our boys’ programming, and play a key role in promoting TFE through various channels including the website, social media, and other platforms.

Remaining in their essential roles are current key leaders in TFE:

• Scott Myers - Girls Academy Director/Girls College Advisor
• Joe Voeller - Executive Director
• Greg Holker - Boys College Advisor

TFE looks forward to the collective expertise and passion that our leadership team brings to the organization and is confident in the continued success and growth under their direction.
