Fred started his lacrosse career as a captain at Allentown Central Catholic High School. He then assisted Coach Kevin Fogerty while in college as a member of his staff until transferring to Kutztown University. At Kutztown, Coach Koons played close defense and LSM on a team that in two consecutive seasons played in the NCLL (National Collegiate Lacrosse League) final four and quarterfinals. Following his time at Kutztown, and a few trips to Iraq and Afghanistan, Coach Koons took a position as the defensive coordinator for Bethlehem Catholic High School’s Varsity team who had not won a game in four years. That year, BECAHI had the winningest season in school history. Since stepping down from a High School role to spend more time with his family, Coach Koons has coached or assisted at many different levels at Parkland Lacrosse and coached the defense at a lacrosse club in the Lehigh Valley. His son Jaxson is a 2030 defenseman/LSM and he is married to his wife, Amy, and has 2 other wonderful children, Emma and Maverick.
