Sophie Bollinger

Girls Program Director

I grew up in State College, PA — home of the Nittany Lions — so football has been in my life forever. I did not, however, go to Penn State, but my alma mater is also a big football school. At James Madison University, I ran track and cross country while I completed my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Kinesiology. Post-college, I found myself in Washington, DC pursuing my dream of working in youth sports. Then I found my Flag Star fam. And the rest is history. Or should I say HERstory…

My personal motivation at Flag Star is to have the opportunity to positively impact the lives of young athletes — especially girls. Sports were such an important part of my life growing up and the coach can really make or break the experience. I love being someone that my athletes are excited to see every week.
