Head Coach Steve Sankar

With a strong foundation in competitive soccer, Coach Sankar brings a unique, player-centered approach to flag football coaching. A former soccer player through 2000, he competed at the collegiate level with the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico soccer team (1990–1991) and participated in multiple travel team programs, developing a deep understanding of teamwork, field vision, spacing, and tactical discipline.

These core soccer principles translate naturally to flag football—route timing, spatial awareness, defensive angles, and communication—and form the backbone of his coaching philosophy.

As a USA Football–certified coach (2025), Coach Sankar has coached athletes across all divisions, helping several players earn the honor of representing Puerto Rico in international competition. His coaching style emphasizes player development, confidence, and long-term growth, always placing the athlete first.

Known for his empathetic and instructional leadership, Coach Sankar intentionally separates himself from aggressive, fear-based coaching methods. Instead of shouting from the sidelines, he focuses on teaching, trust, accountability, and respect, creating an environment where players feel safe to learn, compete, and excel—both on and off the field.

​​Head Coach Rogelio Sifuentes
The Humacao Hornets are proud to be led by Head Coach and League President Rogelio Sifuentes, a veteran mentor whose life has been dedicated to the pursuit of athletic excellence and character building.  Before he was a coach, he was a soldier. With 20 years of active duty in the U.S. Army, Coach Sifuentes spent two decades mastering the art of leadership, discipline, and strategic planning. This military background is the heartbeat of the Hornets, ensuring our players learn the value of structure, accountability, and resilience. Flag Football is growing rapidly in Puerto Rico, and he is committed to ensuring our players and coaches have the platform they deserve to showcase their talents.

Under his leadership, the East Puerto Rico FLag Football League is about more than just winning games—it is a mission for growth and opportunity. Rogelio is deeply committed to:

Player Development: Refining the skills of local athletes to compete at the highest levels, while  focusing on Respect for the game, embracing the Challenges that make us stronger, and the unwavering Belief in their own potential.

Community Impact: Creating a professional, supportive environment where every participant has a chance to shine.

"Our goal is to build better athletes, but more importantly, better leaders for our island. Through respect and belief, we turn every challenge into a victory." - Coach Sifuentes

​Head Coach David Garcia
Coach Frank Toutloff
I've had the privilege of coaching flag football for the Luquillo Soles for two seasons, working alongside Coach David Garcia to develop young athletes and build competitive teams. Our collaboration reached a peak when we led our 10U  team to victory at the Grinch Tournament in San Juan this past January, a testament to the hard work, dedication, and teamwork we've instilled in our players.

When I'm not coaching or reffing games, you'll find me on the field with my camera, capturing every moment of my son Frankie Toutloff and daughter Grace Toutloff as they play. Coaching with the Soles has been an incredibly rewarding experience, allowing me to share my passion for the game while watching these young athletes grow both on and off the field.

In 2026, I'm super excited for Luquillo to have their very first all- girls teams.  I know they will be well focused and play hard - adding some much needed new competition for our female league teams.
