Head Coach Axel Hernandez

Hello Families,

My name is Axel Hernandez, and I am the Head Volleyball Coach at Mayfield High School. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I am a former US Army soldier with over 17 years of service with multiple deployments: Bosnia and Herzegovina (1998), Qatar (2006), and Iraq (2009). I have been a volleyball coach for almost 11 years (10 club/6 high school) and having a teacher for almost 4 years. It’s truly GREAT TO BE A TROJAN!

I am excited to be here today and look forward to working with you in the future!

Trojan Pride!
