Welcome, Coach Roger!

Creekside High School is excited to announce the addition of Boys Volleyball to the Knights Athletics Program! The Knights have hired Leonardo “Lenny” Roger to head up the program.

Coach Roger was born and raised in Puerto Rico and began playing volleyball in the third grade. He developed as a leader and was tapped to coach his peers as a 7th-grade athlete. He excelled as a varsity athlete in high school, and as a senior his team earned the silver medal at the Puerto Rico High School Athletic Association Championships. Unfortunately, an injury prevented him from playing at the collegiate level.

Coach Roger returned to the sport in 2018 and began coaching boys and girls volleyball at JJVA, Patriot Oaks Academy, and Valley Ridge Academy. In 2020, he became the first boys’ volleyball coach in St. Johns County at St. Augustine High School. He coached the team to their first winning season in 2021.

Coach Roger is thrilled to be a Creekside Knight and hopes to create a winning culture while developing the game he loves. He wants the athletes to get better, play hard, and have fun!

A WINNING TEAM AT FLORIDA’S CREEKSIDE HIGH SCHOOL, HEADED BY COACH RICK MARABELL

In a presciently and thoughtfully drafted letter, Creekside High School head coach Rick Marabell wrote:

“I have been involved with the sport of wrestling for over 40 years now. My favorite quote is from the great wrestler and legendary coach Dan Gable, ‘Once you’ve wrestled, everything else in life is easy.’ I can say in my life that quote has rang true over and over again. I believe that wrestling offers certain life lessons that may take years to develop or experience.

My high school and college wrestling coaches had a huge impact on my life. They not only taught the skills and techniques required to be successful on the mat, but they also understood that, as coaches, they had an opportunity to instill character traits that would last a lifetime. As a coach and mentor, I feel it’s my responsibility to pass on those same core character traits. I have listed only five of the many core character traits that wrestling has to offer. It is these five traits our wrestling program chooses to focus on because of their lasting impact.
