Nikki Turner

Director of Operations

Originally from Reading, Pennsylvania, I grew up as a huge Philadelphia sports fan, and wanted to take my passion for sports and turn it into a career. I received my Bachelor's in Sports Management from James Madison University, where I was a member of the JMU Gymnastics team, and received my Master's in Sports Industry Management from Georgetown University. I began as the first full-time employee with Flag Star in 2016, and it's been exciting to watch the organization grow over the past decade.

In my spare time, you can catch me screaming at my Philly sports teams and watching trashy reality tv shows.

As a former gymnast who grew up in a toxic sports environment, I love being part of an organization that fosters a fun, positive youth sports experience. I’m proud to be a part of the Flag Star community and helping make an impact on countless kids’ lives
