KELCEY CARRASCO

Coach Kelcey Carrasco brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in player development to KC Athletics. Currently serving as the Co-Head Coach of the 18U Cen Cal Dirtdogs, she leads the team’s offensive strategy and works closely with the program’s catchers. In addition to her team coaching responsibilities, she continues to provide private instruction to elite-level catchers and hitters, building on five years of success training athletes throughout the Central Valley.

Coach Carrasco began her collegiate coaching career with positions at both the University of Southern Indiana (USI) and Fresno City College. In her first season at USI, she played a pivotal role in guiding the Screaming Eagles to the NCAA Division II World Series, while earning NFCA Midwest Region Coaching Staff of the Year honors. During her time at USI, she worked primarily with catchers and hitters, helping to shape one of the top-performing offenses in the region.

As a former Division I athlete, Carrasco played at Michigan State University and Fresno State. At Michigan State, she made an immediate impact, setting the program’s freshman home run record with 11 homers, ranking ninth in the Big Ten that season. Over two years with the Spartans, she posted a .310 batting average, with 17 home runs and 73 RBIs.

After transferring to Fresno State, she continued her high-level performance, hitting .280 with 12 home runs and 56 RBIs from 2019–2021. Despite a season-ending injury in her senior year, she hit .329 with six home runs and 26 RBIs over 27 starts and played a key role in helping lead the Bulldogs to the 2021 Mountain West Championship.

Her academic achievements are equally impressive. Carrasco was a two-time Academic All-Mountain West honoree at Fresno State and earned NFCA Second-Team All-Region honors during her freshman year at Michigan State. A native of Woodlake, California, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Fresno State in 2021, followed by a Master’s degree in Sport Management from the University of Southern Indiana in 2022. She is currently pursuing her teaching credential in Physical Education through National University.

Coach Carrasco brings a rare combination of collegiate playing success, coaching experience, and educational excellence, making her a vital leader and role model for the athletes at KC Athletics.

  • Rylee Bocchini | Fresno State

    I have been training with Kelcey for about 6 years now and she has made a huge impact on me as an athlete and my journey as a catcher. I would not be the catcher I am today without her, she is a great coach to look up to and makes progress a priority.

  • Ashley Rocha | San Francisco State

    KC Athletics has been one of the greatest opportunities in my softball career. Getting to learn from Coach Kelcey over the past years has been a great experience and prepared me for my college years. The knowledge that Coach Kelcey has from both playing and coaching at high levels is unmatched.

  • Mia Hernandez | Vanguard University

    KC Athletics has helped me not only grow performance & technique wise but also how I carry myself on and off the field as well and just as a person in general! Coach Kelc, cares about you not only as a player but also as a person & so when I was going through my recruiting & transferring process, I knew that the next school that I was going to had to care about me as a person & as player. And I’m so lucky to play for one of her old coaches at Vanguard!

  • Gabi Ramirez | Northwest Nazarene

    Coach Kelcey has truly helped me get to the next level mentally and physically. She has helped me prepare for college when I leave to NNU next year. I was able to get an insight of how college really is and what to expect when I go. She mentally helped me become tougher and to gain confidence in myself. Being apart of KC Athletics is really special and I’m extremely grateful.

  • Reagen Chavez | Sanger west high school

    The impact that KC Athletics has had on me has been tremendous. I started with Coach Kelcey back in 2018 when I was 10 years old. When I fist started catching I was very timid to be behind the plate. Since being in the program, my confidence has grown. Now I love every moment I get behind the plate. Looking at my self now, it makes me so happy to see how hard I have worked to get here. I know it would not have been possible without Coach Kelcey.
