Flavia Siqueira

Flavia Siqueira is the Head Coach at Georgia State University.

Flavia Siqueira (FLAH-vee-uh suh-KAY-duh) was named the head coach of the Georgia State court volleyball program in March 2024. She comes to GSU after five seasons as the head coach at Auburn Montgomery and was previously a highly-successful head coach at the junior college level.

In 2023, Siqueira guided Auburn Montgomery, an NCAA Division II school, to a 24-9 mark, setting the program record for victories. AUM was ranked as high as No. 10 in the NCAA South Region rankings in 2023, the school's first-ever appearance in the poll, and the Warhawks notched the program's first-ever win over a ranked opponent, a 3-2 victory over then-No. 16 West Florida.

With a record of 81-59, including four winning seasons in five years at AUM, Siquera led the Warhawks to three consecutive appearances in the Gulf South Conference postseason tournament, reaching the semifinals the last two years.

She coached four AUM student-athletes to all-conference honors, and Kaleigh Fitzgerald earned the program's first-ever AVCA All-Region nod in 2023.

“Accepting the challenge to enhance a volleyball program is not just about taking a job offer; it is about embracing the opportunity to transform lives,” Siqueira said. “I would like to thank Directors Charlie Cobb and Kelcey Roegiers along with the GSU athletic staff for their immediate support and enthusiasm about the volleyball program. I am looking forward to a great journey at Georgia State University.”

Kelcey Roegiers, Georgia State’s Senior Woman Administrator and volleyball supervisor, said of Siqueira, “After conducting a national search, Flavia rose to the top with her passion, attention to detail and winning attitude. I am thrilled to have Flavia as our next coach, as I know she will enhance this program and bring a winning culture.”

Siqueira went to Auburn Montgomery in January 2019 after two seasons as the top assistant coach at Lynn University. In her first season at the helm, she led the Warhawks to the first winning season in school history, first berth in the GSC postseason tournament and first postseason victory.

Before going to Lynn, Siqueira had tremendous success in the junior college ranks, compiling a record of 278-97 in nine seasons as a head coach in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). In 2009 she earned the ’30 Under 30’ Award from the American Volleyball Coaches Association, one of two coaches from two-year programs to garner the honor.

Siqueira served as the inaugural head coach of the College of Central Florida’s volleyball program in Ocala, Fla., from 2011-16. During her tenure, the Patriots went 188-59 overall and 47-3 in the Mid-Florida Conference. The program also claimed a FCSAA State Championship, two runner-up finishes and one NJCAA District P Championship.

For her efforts she was named the league’s Coach of the Year in each of her six seasons while winning the MFC Championship six years in a row. Known for her player development, Siqueira helped produce five NJCAA All-Americans, three Mid-Florida Conference Players of the Year, two FCSAA State Players of the Year and one NCJAA National Player of the Year during her time at CCF.

Before starting the program at CCF Siqueira spent three seasons as head coach at Northwest College in Powell, Wyo., where she led the Trappers to a 90-38 overall record. While at Northwest her squad won a regional championship while also earning a berth in the NJCAA National Tournament in 2009.

She served as the head coach of Team Florida of USA Volleyball High Performance Girls Select volleyball club, which won five consecutive national titles.

Siqueira began her coaching career in 2007 as the head coach at the University of the Southwest in Hobbs, N.M.

As a player, Siqueira was part of two top four national finishes at Western Nebraska Community College, where she earned All-Region and Academic All-American honors. She went on to become a NCAA Division II All-American at the University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D., leading the program to its first ever national top-10 ranking.

A three-time All-Conference and All-Region selection in college, Siqueira played Confederation Volleyball in Brazil for Sao Paulo from 1997-1999 prior to her arrival in the U.S.

Siqueira graduated from the University of Mary with a B.S. in physical education with a minor in coaching before earning her master’s degree in college teaching.
