- Title:
- Assistant Coach
Sharon Kelly was announceed as assistant coach for Air Force Women's Gymnastics on Sept. 12, 2025.
Kelly, a 20-year professional in the sport, provides a depth of experience for the Falcon program, bringing 16 years of judging experience at the collegiate level. Kelly currently serves as Education Chairman for Georgia USA Gymnastics and is acting Event Director for Georgia National Association of Women's Gymnastics Judges (NAWGJ).
In 2005, Kelly founded Ultimate Gymnastics, a Level 10/Elite developmental program in Duluth, Georgia. In her 17 years of operating Ultimate, Kelly and her staff planned, managed and operated large-scale training camps and competitions including state and regional championships hosting over 2000 athletes. Under Kelly's leadership, Ultimate Gymnastics has proved a launching point for a number of future NCAA and Junior Olympic competitors.
Kelly's first season with Air Force proved a monumental one. The Falcons finished ranked 36th nationally, earning their third-highest final ranking in the program’s history and best since 2002. On March 14, in Team 50’s home finale against Fisk University, Air Force put a bow on an epic Senior Day scoring a 197.150, marking not only the Falcons’ first-ever 197-plus finish, but also a Mountain West first.
The 2026 Falcons ended their season with a program-best 8-1 home record and qualified as a team for NCAA regionals, the first for the Falcons since that historic 2002 season. Junior gymnast Maggie Slife, the repeat Mountain West Gymnast of the Year, became the first-ever Falcon to represent the Academy at the national championship, qualifying as an individual all-arounder.
