Kasey Britt is in her second season at Central Arkansas working as an assistant coach for the UCA softball program.
Primarily working with the hitters and outfielders, Britt helped guide the Bears to major offensive improvements in her first season. As a team, UCA racked up 30 more hits in 2018 than in 2017 prior to her arrival on the staff. Under Britt’s guidance, the Bears increased their production in doubles from 61 in 2017 to 80 in 2018. UCA also improved its overall slugging percentage by almost 50 points.
Britt spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Young Harris College in Young Harris, Ga. from 2016-2017. She oversaw skill development of the Mountain Lions defensive positions and hitters while also contributing to other aspects of the program including compliance, academics and team camps. During her time at Young Harris, the Mountain Lions posted a 73-54 record and earned its first-ever postseason win in 2016. That same season, Young Harris also set a program record for wins while making an appearance in the NCAA Division-II Southeast Regional Tournament. The Mountain Lions also qualified for that tournament in 2017. Britt coached eight All-Peach Belt Conference selections, three CoSIDA All-District honorees, two Academic All-Americans and one NFCA All-Southeast Region selection.
Prior to her time at Young Harris, Britt spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Belhaven University in Jackson, Miss from 2014-2015. She helped lead the Blazers to a 75-40 record during that time, including back-to-back NAIA National Tournament appearances. While primarily in charge of skill development for outfield, pitchers and hitters, Britt mentored eight All-Southern States Athletic Conference honorees, seven All-Regions selections, two SSAC Players of the Year, two SSAC Golden Glove winners and one NAIA All-American.
Bear fans all recognize Britt from her incredible accomplishments in a UCA uniform from 2009-2012. She was a career .320 hitter, posting 178 career hits, 47 doubles, three triples and 24 home runs while driving in 126. She ranks in the top-10 in program history in 21 categories including doubles (2nd, 47), slugging percentage (3rd, .545), on-base percentage (3rd, .413), home runs (4th, 24), RBIs (4th, 126), hits (t-5th, 178), runs scored (7th, 98) and batting average (9th, .320). She was selected as a member of the All-Southland Conference and NFCA All-South Region twice while also being named the SLC Hitter of the Week three times.
