SHEREKA MCLAIN
CEO & FOUNDER
16 -1 Purple COACH
Hello and welcome to my amazing journey! I am Shereka McLain and I have trained, played, or coached in the volleyball world for as long as I can remember. I have over 20+ years of experience and enjoy developing mentally dominating players. I pride myself on building well rounded young ladies on and off the court. I choose to use volleyball as the tool to reach and teach strong foundations of life. I was blessed to start Francis Marie Thomas VB Association in honor and memory of my extraordinary Mother, who I unexpectedly lost to Pancreatic Cancer in 2012; thus, the reason we proudly wear Purple. God has blessed me to help nearly 50 girls to receive scholarships to continue to play in college and although a huge accomplishment, I have so much more to give to our future. I am excited about this new adventure and proud to be a part of such an amazing program with the same beliefs and core values for the athletes! Buckle up, because we are just getting started. I am honored, excited, and PROUD to have such an AMAZING program working alongside a staff with the same beliefs and core values for our athletes!
