Head Coach – Jeralyn Forcier

Creekside High School is pleased to announce that Jeralyn Forcier will be returning as the Knights Girls Tennis Team’s head coach for the second year. Coach Jeralyn previously served as the assistant head coach to Estela De Paula for the previous two seasons.

Coach Jeralyn comes from a lengthy background in athletics, coaching tennis, and various youth sports in the area.  She grew up playing tennis in her hometown of Woodstock, Illinois, and began participating in USTA Florida tournaments in 2006. She made it to Nationals in 2014 as a doubles player. 

As a coach this past season, she was very proud of the 32 varsity and junior varsity players. The team won the District Championship and advanced to the Regional Semifinals, with two team members qualifying for the State Tournament.

She worked for the St. Johns County School District from 2020 to 2024 as well as had all 3 of her children graduate from CHS.

As an active member of her community, Coach Jeralyn strives to build high-character, well-rounded athletes through mental toughness, physical strength, and leadership opportunities.  One aspect she feels passionate about is community service, and she aims to incorporate it into the players’ schedules through volunteer service, such as with Field of Dreams and Tennis Is For Everyone.
