We want to recognize our unofficial MVP of communication and the front office’s favorite “human walkie-talkie” — Coach Balgos!
He always keeps us updated on his classes, club activities, and sporting events, which means fewer surprises, smoother pick-ups, and way less chaos on our end. Thanks to people like him, our front office runs like a well-oiled machine instead of a Monday morning.
Coach Balgos also goes above and beyond to hype up his athletes. He celebrates each student individually and even sends us their accomplishments so we can announce them over the intercom. He talks about his players with the pride of a parent showing off baby photos — and honestly, we love it!
🙌 Coach Balgos, thanks for making our days easier. We appreciate you!
