For generations, Jesuit schools across the globe have recognized the important role that athletics play in forming the whole person. Across that tradition, teachers, coaches, and alumni have helped shape student-athletes through lessons in leadership, discipline, teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship that extend far beyond competition. As Jesuit High School Sacramento prepares to welcome young women and launch the Girls Division in Fall 2027, we are excited to announce the first head coaches who will help establish the foundation of our own girls' athletics program.
These leaders bring a wealth of coaching experience, a deep commitment to student-athlete development, and strong connections to the Jesuit community. Collectively, they also bring years of experience within Ignatian education as teachers, coaches, mentors, and, in some cases, former students themselves. Their understanding of Jesuit values and the transformative power of athletics will play an important role in shaping the culture, competitiveness, and spirit of our inaugural teams.
We are proud to introduce the first members of our Girls Athletics coaching staff:
-
Cross Country — Sarah Kelso, current Jesuit faculty member

-
Flag Football — Mike Rosales, current Jesuit Boys Track & Field coach

-
Swim & Dive — Kai Nabeta-Cacal, current Jesuit Boys Swim assistant coach

-
Volleyball — Sara Marks, returning Jesuit volleyball coach

These appointments mark another exciting milestone as we build a comprehensive athletics program rooted in the same tradition of excellence, sportsmanship, and student formation that has long defined Marauder Athletics. Additional coaching announcements will be shared in early fall.
