"My full name is Luis A. Martinez Cesareo and I'm from Dorado, Puerto Rico. I played as a Setter at college level and coached in different schools program throughout the years. Six years ago, I moved to Ocala, FL for an opportunity to coach volleyball with boys and girls and I also worked with Marion County Public schools for 4 years. My college background is in Physical Education, Secondary level. I am certified with USAV Volleyball, IMPACT certification, AAU Volleyball and CPR. Currently I work with Collier County Public Schools as a Paraprofessional." Why did you get into coaching volleyball? "I started playing at 12 years old and immediately fell in love with the sport. By the time I turned 19, I was the captain of a club travel team. My coach called me one day and told me to meet with him before practice. Basically he told me that I have the leadership and the potential to be a successful coach in the future and he will pay for my class so I could get certified as a Level 1 Coach with the Volleyball Federation of Puerto Rico. I am never going to forget my coach for believing in me and will never regret accepting the challenge of this amazing roller coaster ride as a volleyball coach." Why do you like coaching at Seacrest? "I like coaching at Seacrest because of the culture of the volleyball program and the school. The parents and staff recognize the dedication and passion that I have for the sport. The most important part is that the athletes are thankful for every moment the coaches spend with them." Anything else that you might like to add? "My philosophy is ONE TEAM, ONE FAMILY. My best accomplishment as a coach is to see young athletes grow and develop values inside and outside the court. I prefer when a player asks "Tito teach me how to play volleyball ". This sport is more than just making contact with a ball, it is discipline in how to become a better player and how to overcome different obstacles to achieve goals." Highlights Seacrest Swim team had a meet on Tuesday with Naples High School and Golden Gate High School and was able to pull out a second place overall team result. Elizabeth Morris, Giuly Zegarra, Logan Walden, and Trevor Brown all won individual events. Seacrest Golf played against First Baptist Academy at the Vineyards Country Club.

  • Summer Athletic Information 2015-2016
    Community School of Naples SUMMER ATHLETIC INFORMATION 2015-2016 WELCOME FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETIC OPERATIONS Dear Parents & Students, We are committed to Excellence! Athletics provide our students personal growth opportunities that focus on teamwork, leadership, responsibility and a maturing work ethic forged by a highly competitive environment. Our vision is to match the “skill and will” of a student-athlete on the “fields of friendly strife” to the independent thought and lifelong learning gained in academics and the arts. Community School of Naples (CSN) Athletic department continues to foster an environment that rewards the student-athlete who commits to winning with integrity. Complementing the perfect “triad” of academics, arts and athletics is more than a goal— it is the expectation! Our coaches know the value of the “whole person” construct; in turn, they understand the future of CSN athletics depends on leveraging the “all-in” student-athlete. Our coaches embrace the concept of winning with teamwork, leadership, responsibility and work ethic on and off the field. This past year our teams won 10 District Titles, 1 Regional Title, and finished runner-up 10 times either in a District or Regional competition; in addition, we had our first-ever Track & Field dual State Champion with 2nd Team All-State Basketball player Stephanie Paul winning both the Discus and Shot-put. Moreover, this year’s graduating senior class sent 15% to Universities and Colleges around the nation for that next level of college athletics! With that said, during the summer months, we expect our student-athletes to participate, work out and rigorously prepare their minds and bodies for next year’s competitions.

  • Limited Audit of DOH Data Compared to Data Provided by Districts for the Overlapping Time Period (Sept
    Limited Audit of DOH data compared to data provided by districts for the overlapping time period (Sept. 6 – Sept. 26 only). October 1, 2020 Rebekah Jones, The COVID Monitor, Florida COVID Action This report was written as part of a data quality review for recently released data by the Florida Department of Health, in conjunction with both The COVID Monitor and FloridaCovidAction.com. For questions about this report, please email: [email protected] The Florida Department of Health (DOH) report referred to in this audit was released Sept. 29, 2020, and listed a number of student, staff, and “unknown” cases for each school in the state which had positive results reported between September 6, 2020 and September 26, 2020. This audit provides an overview of major discrepancies, with detailed looks at two Florida counties that have been publishing their own district data independently of DOH: Collier and Duval. As we continue to work through the data, we will update this information with new counties. Layout notes: To reduce confusion about whether we’re referring to data provided by counties/school districts, or data provided about counties from the Sept. 29 Department of Health (DOH) state data, we’re going to color code our text for extra emphasis. Data provided by school districts (counties) will be green. Data provided by the state/DOH will be purple. We realize this may make it difficult for those who have color vision deficiency to distinguish between the two, so we will make every effort to refer to data provided directly by the school districts in each county as either the “district/county,” and refer to the data coming from the DOH report as either “the state/DOH.” We will provide a version without color coding, as well.

  • “Items of Interest”
    GHSA “Items of Interest” December 2005 / January 2006 Seasons Greetings and HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM YOUR GHSA STAFF Front row (L-R): Julie Jones, Pam Thompson, Joyce Kay, Sheri Coker and Tanya Anderson. Back row (L-R): Dennis Payne, Steve Figueroa, Ralph Swearngin, Ernie Yarbrough and Gary Phillips. In the Greek language, there are two words that could be used to communicate the English word “new.” One strictly means new in time or unused. The other carries the meaning of higher quality. As the GHSA looks toward the unused days of 2006, there is a strong desire to provide a higher quality of service to member schools. In 2006, we look forward to the continuation of high quality athletics and competitive activities. There is every reason to believe that the great accomplishments in the fall sports and activities season will be matched in the winter and spring seasons. The use of central sites for both Team Dual Wrestling (Macon Centreplex) and Traditional Wrestling (The Arena at Gwinnett) has stimulated excitement. On Saturday, April 29, the second Student Leadership Summit will be held at the Macon Centreplex. Information about this event will be forthcoming after the first of the year. The first 100 schools to register will be able to send a female athlete, a male athlete, and a coach or administrator to this one-day conference. On Monday, June 26, the inaugural Coaches Symposium on Sports Medicine will be held at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest as a prelude to the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association annual conference. Recognized leaders in sports medicine will conduct practical workshops for the benefit of GHSA coaches.
