Sherry has always had a love for team sports. In her youth, she played basketball and volleyball for several years. All four years of high school were devotedly spent being on, or being the co-captain of, the Drill (E.g. Dance) Team. As a young adult, Sherry acquired a Bachelor's of Secondary Education degree and then a Master's degree in Adult Education. After marriage, she and her husband, James, immediately made sports a family-focused activity. When their son, who started playing soccer at the age of 4, added basketball to his recreational resume the following season, Sherry and James each took a sport; Sherry coached Upwards Soccer while James coached Upwards Basketball. It was during this time Sherry realized the role of Coach Gilley brought her significant joy. Sherry also volunteered as an Upwards Sports League Basketball Referee until their youngest daughter became old enough to dribble down the field and up the courts. In 2018, Sherry and her family reignited their love of volleyball through their daughter's school sports program as well as the Dynamix Volleyball Club. As a life-long learner, Coach Gilley has loved learning what has changed in the sport since she was on the court (oh so long ago), jumped at the opportunity to recently attend Gold Medal Squared (GMS) Coaches training, and is considering acquiring a Volleyball Coaching Certification and/or becoming a USA Volleyball Certified Referee. Sherry is extremely grateful for opportunities to empower and eternally impact the lives of others.
