Providence Catholic names new Head Varsity Boys Volleyball Coach 

(New Lenox) - Don Sebestyen, Principal of Providence Catholic High School, is pleased to name Brett Krapil as the new Head Varsity Boys Volleyball Coach.  “We are pleased that Brett has accepted the head coaching position and look forward seeing him lead the Celtics to victory,” said Sebestyen. 

Krapil has been a guidance counselor and assistant volleyball coach at Providence Catholic for the past five and six years respectively.  Furthermore, he is a Class of 2000 alumni.  During his high school career, Krapil was a three-year varsity outside hitter for the Celtic boys’ volleyball team.  Furthermore, he was named MVP, two-time Chicago Tribune Prep Athlete of the Week, two-time Chicago Catholic League All-Star and Chicago Tribune Top Player in the state of Illinois.  He also played in the 1998 State Tournament. 

In addition, Krapil attended Lewis University where he played volleyball his freshman year.  During this time, Krapil made the Dean’s List,  received a Student Athletic Award, which required his GPA to be between 3.25-3.49 and was named Academic All-Conference by Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIBA).  Krapil obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Bradley University and a Masters of Arts in School Counseling and Guidance from Lewis University. 

“I am very excited to take over as Head Coach of the Providence Catholic Boys Volleyball Program.  I learned about the tradition fourteen years ago and know what it means to play for the Celtics.  The former head coach Cindy Olczyk “Coach O”, who started the program at Providence, has put a tremendous amount of time and effort into this program and mentoring me to take it over.  She has taught me a great deal as a player, coach, and many other life skills.  I am honored that she is comfortable leaving the program to me and I hope that I can take all the skills and ideas I have learned from Coach O, Ultimate Volleyball Club, and the Lewis Men's Volleyball Team and build upon the great success of this program,” said Krapil.
