My name is Victoria Dickerson I have about 5 years of coaching experience across all levels from high school girls to semi professional men. My specialty as a coach is my ability to develop and grow players individually.

I have a state championship ring from Heathwood Hall School and a conference championship from Benedict College. I am the co-owner of a semi professional women’s team, and the Assistant GM for the longest standing Semi-Professional men’s team in South Carolina.
One of my biggest roles is meeting with companies across the state (small or large) that love and support our mission enough to donate to and/or sponsor our organization. I plan to bring that same financial drive to our women's program!
