Kaylee Shackleford
Head Coach

This is Kaylee Shackleford’s first year at Franklin Road Academy. She is a Faculty Fellow and counselor in the upper school and is excited to assist coaching the football and basketball varsity cheerleading squad, as well as assisting the middle school softball team.

Kaylee is a Nashville native and grew up playing basketball and softball. She received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Union University and her master’s in counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University. While she did not play sports for her university, she did play every intramural sport offered and had a blast doing it. How is she qualified to help coach cheer, you might ask? Kaylee was voted Most School Spirit in high school, and that type of spirit has served her well in these new coaching positions. She looks forward to continuing to serve these athletes and cheering on the Panthers!

Karley Whitehead
Assistant Coach

Karley is currently serving as a faculty fellow in 1st grade alongside Mary Sentell. She loves getting to work with the lower school students and work throughout the academy by coaching. She grew up in Nashville and attended McGavock High School. Karley played softball and volleyball all 4 years in high school. Growing up, she played basketball but decided to stick with putting my focus on softball where she played travel ball and spent afternoons practicing or going to hitting lessons. She is very thankful for athletics for allowing her to grow and learn to be a team player. She is excited to work with Coach Clemons and Shackleford this season!
