WDV welcomes Rafael Carranza as Boys Varsity Soccer Coach

Greetings DV family, today we would like to introduce Rafael Carranza, the new Boys Varsity Coach for our Athletics Program here at Da Vinci Schools. This is now his fourth year with DV as a Campus Safety Officer and second year under athletics as he was the JV coach for the Boys soccer team last year. The entire DV family has been very welcoming and kind and look forward to building this program to where I know it can be.

Born and raised just 5 mins from El Segundo in a city named Lennox, Rafa has been familiar and apart the South Bay for his entire life. From a very young age, he has played sports and quickly learned soccer was a passion of his that would stick with him his entire life. Playing varsity all four years at Lennox Academy, Rafa was able to experience a true student athlete life. After high school, he decided to not pursue sports in college and attended Cal State Northridge. As he continued to play competitively in adult leagues in the South Bay, he quickly realized that he truly missed the competition of playing the way he once did as a student, which is when he decided to learn the life as a soccer coach. Learning from my mentor, Rafa quickly became an assistant coach for his old high school and began coaching the elementary and middle school in Lennox.

With now having 10 years of coaching experience, he knows he is beyond ready and excited to begin this journey with Da Vinci. Rafa has high standards set, not only for this program but for himself and his coaching staff. The competitive nature sports has instilled in him is what has kept the fire burning in growing and learning each day. Even in Rafa’s free time, you can always catch him cheering on every LA team from the Dodgers to the Lakers and waking up early mornings to watch Chelsea FC play. He is excited to get this program started and create a successful and sustainable program here at DV for years to come. Go Wolves!

Some highlight performances were Nathanael Lincourt who led our varsity with a time of 17:20 and Alani Flores with a time of 20:13, which was her Personal Record. Nathanael is also now the school record holder in the 3 mile! While our teams will not move onto CIF, we wanted to recognize the JV Girls with a 1st Place finish and our JV Boys with 2nd place at Bell-Jeff Invitational earlier this season! Congratulations Team on your efforts this season in the Pioneer League.

Congratulations to our Women’s Volleyball Team debuting in the Pioneer League this fall season! We are proud that two of the Varsity girls earned a spot on the competitive Pioneer League 2nd Team and one of our athletes won a spot on the Pioneer League 1st Team. Our Division 7 team held their own against some tough D2 & D3 teams. We are hoping to learn from this year’s high level of play and earn a spot in playoffs next season. We ended our season with a close fight against El Segundo (20-25, 20-25, 25-23, 32-34).

Thank you all for supporting all of our athletes by attending and cheering at the games. Thank you for your participation and support in our Athletic Team fundraisers and donations!
