Coaching Staff

Michelle Frew (class of '91) – Head Coach

Frew came back to her alma mater in June 2024 to take over the head-coaching role. She arrives with 28 seasons of head-coaching experience at the Division II level. The camp program's own promotional materials describe her as one of the winningest coaches in NCAA history; that is the program's characterization and is presented here as an attributed claim rather than an independently verified statistic.

In her first two seasons at Eckerd, Frew set school records for total wins and winning percentage in each of those years. Her most recent completed season produced a 33-13 overall mark and a 21-9 record in Sunshine State Conference play, good for a second-place finish in the SSC — both figures representing the best in the school's history.

Player recognition under her tenure includes a South Region Player of the Year honor, an SSC Player of the Year award, five All-American selections, nine All-Region selections, and seven SSC All-Conference nods. Academic honors also feature prominently: five CSC Academic All-District recognitions and 11 NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete awards.
