Upcoming Events

OSU Coach Beyond & GAMPI

We are continuing our partnership with OSU Life Sports and the Granville Athletics Performance Initiative to support the mental health and well being of all our student athletes and coaches. This year we will continue to host HeadspACE sessions for our student athlete leaders as well as Huddle sessions for all interested student athletes. Our goals this year include training all new coaches and providing refreshers for returning coaches. We are also extending our reach by offering sessions for LCL and youth coaches in the area. We will also have a session at the winter and spring preseason OHSAA parent meeting. We are so excited to continue to do this amazing work and support our athletes in all areas.

Leanza Boes

I am an Ohio State University graduate and have been working with Granville High School athletics since the fall of 2021. My clinical experience at THE Ohio State University includes track and field, cross-country, women’s basketball, men’s volleyball, and football. I grew up playing basketball and golf, but now I do CrossFit to stay active. I enjoy watching college football and reading in my spare time. Go Blue Aces!

Steve Rose

I am currently in 9th year at Granville after spending 25 years with Columbus City Schools. Married with 3 children, 2 of which graduated from GHS & one currently at the High School.

Dylan Leffingwell

I have been a Blue Ace since November 2020. Before then I played college football at Ohio University and Ohio Wesleyan University, where I received my bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. I have experience as a performance coach at the Division 1 level with football and baseball while also earning my master's degree in Sport Management from East Tennessee State University.

I strive to provide our athletes with a better experience than I had dealing with injuries that would ultimately keep me from playing my senior year in college. The ultimate goal is to not only prepare for what comes next in college athletics but lifelong habits to keep our kids healthy and happy!

Outside of coaching I enjoy training as an athlete and playing golf. This November I will finish year 4 and this coming October I am getting married to my amazing fiancé!

Let's have a great year, Go Blue Aces!
