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!

ST. JOHNS — One of the best ways to describe local high school lacrosse player Carsyn Christel is “unassumingly elite.”
“You’d never know she’s one of the top players in the country,” said Krista Grabher, director of Christel’s lacrosse club, Florida Shine Elite. “She shows so much grace and humility. It’s wonderful to coach.”
Christel, a junior at Creekside, scored 54 goals, picked up 82 groundballs and had a 75% scoring percentage in her sophomore season.
