Sherra Reed

Intro Sherra "Sky" Reed is a trailblazing figure in the world of basketball coaching. A former player herself, she earned her nickname "Sky" for her incredible vertical leap during her playing days as a guard in the WNBA. After retiring as a player, Sherra seamlessly transitioned into coaching, bringing her passion for innovation and player development to the sidelines. Sherra played eight successful seasons in the WNBA, primarily for the Los Angeles Sparks, where she became a fan favorite for her hustle and clutch performances. However, a torn ACL cut her playing career short. While the injury was devastating, it opened the door for her to pursue coaching, something she had always dreamed of doing. When the Aurora Hoops League was founded, Sherra was one of the first coaches approached to lead a team. She was captivated by the league’s vision of creativity, innovation, and inclusivity. Sherra saw the AHL as an opportunity to embrace a bold new style of basketball and empower players to express themselves on and off the court.
