Alejandro De Luna

Red Rock Boys 18-1

Alejandro was born and raised in Redwood City, and is currently a third year at Cañada College. After he completes his general education courses at Cañada, he plans to transfer to a four year college (hopefully in Southern California) to get his bachelor's degree in kinesiology. Once that is accomplished, he plans on going to an out of state Chiropractic College. As long as he can remember, he has always been involved in sports, and being part of a high level and competitive team. He was part of a three time state cup winning soccer team until he stopped, to explore other sports. One of his favorite memories while being a part of a high level team is when he traveled to England and Spain to compete against other high level teams in soccer.

When he finished playing soccer, he decided to start playing basketball. There he joined a club team where he traveled across the country for tournaments, and he played for his high school team as well. He ultimately stopped playing other sports when the boys volleyball team was introduced. He was on the first ever Sequoia Boys varsity volleyball team, and has been a part of the organization every year after that. Although Alejandro began playing volleyball that year, he has been directly around it since 3rd grade, due to his sister’s involvement in high level clubs. After his first high school season, he played one summer season at Bay to Bay to improve his fundamental skills, and learn what being a part of a high level volleyball club is like. Throughout his volleyball career, he mainly played outside hitter, middle, and right side, but has become comfortable in most positions. He continues to go play at open gyms, and is attempting recruitment for D3 schools. If that is not an option then he hopes to play for the club team of wherever he transfers to. Alejandro started coaching volleyball as the assistant coach of the Sequoia boys varsity volleyball team in 2022, and was the head coach of the Sequoia JV boys volleyball team since 2023. There he really focused on teaching his players the fundamentals of the game so they can eventually be ready to play at a higher level. He introduced and developed players, some of which had never touched a volleyball, to what being on a volleyball team is like, and how to see the game from different parts of the court. He loves being able to help his team gain confidence in any aspect of volleyball and to watch them improve each and every day.

Last season, he was the assistant coach of the Red Rock Boys 18-national team, and has learned more of what it is to coach at a very high level. Along with high schoolers, he has worked with children ages 6-12 at Decathlon Sports Club for 4 years as a Counselor. Here, he teaches kids the importance of sportsmanship, and the basic fundamentals of a variety of different sports. He looks forward to coaching in the near and distant future. When Alejandro is not doing anything volleyball related, he loves spending time with his friends, going to the gym and staying active, and anything that involves music. He is a NASM certified personal trainer at The Weight Room in Redwood City (Let him know if you are interested). He also loves working with kids, coaching, and being a mentor.

She was a member of both Payes 12 Black followed by Redrock 12 Black, and she made her permanent move to Vision Volleyball Club her 13s season. Her teams made huge accomplishments: qualifying for Nationals six times, winning Far Westerns twice, and placing third at Colorado Crossroads in 2016. Staying in the Gold division of the NCVA was consistent, and her teams finished within the top 5 for almost every season. Her 15 Gold team at Vision went undefeated in the entire NCVA league, where she served as both libero and DS.
 

Riley attended high school at Menlo School, graduating in 2019.

Jonathan Santos

Red Rock Boys
Jonathan started his volleyball journey at 6 years old learning from his uncle who started the boy’s volleyball program at Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep. After playing a few summer co-ed seasons in elementary and middle school while co-head coaching his sister’s volleyball team, he tried out for Diablo Volleyball Club for the summer season. His team went on to get 13th in the open division at that year’s BJNC. While co-head coaching his sister’s teams, they won two gold medals in their divisions and half of the girls went on to play for their high school teams.

He then played for Pacific Rim Volleyball Club, as the first team ever for the club alongside players who would become volleyball stars like Joe and Gage Worsley, Micah Ma’a, Jordan Ewert, just to name a few. As an OH and then an eventual libero, his team won the bronze medal his 14s year, and two gold medals in the open division his 17s and 18s year. Throughout these years, Jonathan gained a ton of experience playing against the best players in the country, which culminated in collegiate opportunities. He, along with every single one of his teammates, was recruited to a plethora of colleges of all divisions. These included NYU, UC Santa Cruz, Elmira, and Stevens.

Jonathan attended St. Ignatius College Preparatory for high school and completed four years of varsity boys volleyball there. Jonathan played for UC Santa Cruz as the starting libero from 2016-2019 earning accolades such as Most Digs Recorded in a Single Game in school history, and eventually a Runner-Up trophy at the 2019 NCAA DIII national championships. Throughout the summers of collegiate volleyball, he head coached volleyball camps for Pacific Rim. Following his graduation from UCSC with a BS in MCD Biology, Jonathan head coached the 16-1 boys team for Pacific Rim and earned two open bids with his team. He assisted in the recruitment process for multiple players on his team some of whom now play for well known schools such as CSU Northridge, UC Irvine, and Wentworth.

Among some of his coaching philosophies, he believes all players have the capability to reach their attainable goals with hard work and discipline, and prides himself on teaching the importance of technique plus athleticism and work ethic, as well as ensuring all players have the most optimal experience. He then assisted a girls team which was unable to complete their season due to COVID. Since then, Jonathan has been pursuing a master’s degree in nursing and currently is a Registered Nurse.

In his spare time, he enjoys playing tennis, reading sci-fi books, watching the newest Marvel movie/tv show, and playing volleyball when he can. Jonathan hopes to bring his extensive volleyball experience both playing and coaching to his new team!
