Camp Coaches

  • Michelle Piantadosi Lima

    Michelle Piantadosi-Lima

    Director

    Michelle Piantadosi-Lima returned to her home state of Florida as the 10th head coach in the history of the Eckerd volleyball program to begin the fall of 2012. She enters her 14th season at the helm for the 2025 season.

    Michelle Piantadosi Lima

    Michelle Piantadosi-Lima

    Director

    She also launched the beach volleyball program in 2015, quickly turning it into one of the top small college programs in the country. In 2016, Eckerd claimed the Rox Small College Championship and finished runners-up in both 2017 and 2018. In 2018, her No. 1 pair of Sibson and Paula Hoffmann ended the season ranked third in the AVCA with a 22-1 record.

    Piantadosi-Lima's immediate success as a head coach resulted in back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Championship South Regional and two runner-up efforts towards the top of the Sunshine State Conference standings. This also included a combined 41 wins and a winning percentage pushing close to .700 in her first two years. She is the fastest coach to reach 50 wins in program history and led the team to three NCAA Tournament appearances in her first four seasons.

    Piantadosi-Lima navigated the Tritons to their fourth NCAA South Regional appearance in her six years on the bench in 2017 while also winning the 100th match of her career during the season. That season she coached Kaitlyn Sibson, who earned All-SSC, All-Region, and All-American honors while shattering several program records in the process.

    In 2022, she led Eckerd back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years, making her fifth tournament appearance since 2017. She guided the Tritons to one of the best seasons in program history with a 24-9 mark with three wins over nationally-ranked opponents including a thrilling five-set victory in the McArthur Center over No. 4 Tampa, Eckerd first win over UT since 2011. EC's 24 victories are the second-most in program history. She guided Krysten Garrison and Anna Jungjohann to AVCA All-American honors, marking the first time since 2013 that Eckerd has had two players receive All-American honors. Garrison is the first setter in program history to earn All-American honors.

    In 2023, she led Eckerd to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments, her sixth appearance during her tenure. She led the Tritons to an 11-match win streak from October 6-31, EC's longest win streak since 2011. The team ranked ninth nationally in block per set and 14th in Division II in total blocks. She guided Stella Antypa to All-American honors, the eighth with her at the helm.

    In 2024, she led the Tritons to rank 32nd nationally in aces per set, while junior Kinga Michalska ranked second nationally in aces per set and ninth in total aces.

    Kali Boatwright

    Assistant Coach

    Boatwright rejoins her alma mater following three years at the Division I level.

    Boatwright spent last season as an assistant coach at Gardner-Webb (NC). She also served as the interim head coach during the spring semester.

    During her time with the Bulldogs, she helped guide the team to the most Big South Conference wins in program history and the first Big South Tournament Semifinals appearance in program history. She also coached five All-Big South Conference selections, including the Defensive Player of the Year.

    She spent her previous two seasons as an assistant coach at Louisiana at Lafayette, where she led the team to its highest hitting percentage in program history.

    A Triton volleyball and beach volleyball standout for two seasons, Kali Boatwright transitioned into the role of assistant coach for both programs in June 2018.

    In 2019, she helped lead the squad to a 19-12 record, where the team set a new single-season record for aces as a team. Setter, Sydney Case, was named to the All-SSC and All-Region team.

    In April 2021, Boatwright was tabbed to the AVCA Thirty Under 30 Beach Award in the inaugural class for beach volleyball coaches.

    Boatwright transferred to Eckerd for her final two years where she played both front row and back row. As a junior, she twice earned Sunshine State Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors and led the Tritons with 311 kills while averaging 2.99 kills per set and 2.82 digs per set. During her senior season in which she battled injuries, Boatwright averaged 2.37 digs per set.

    She also excelled in the classroom as a two-time recipient of the SSC Fall Commissioner's Honor Roll award.

    Before coming to Eckerd, Boatwright spent her freshman and sophomore seasons at Augusta (Ga.) University. She immediately impacted the team's success as a freshman, helping lead the Jaguars to a program-record 27 wins and a bid to the NCAA Southeast Regional Tournament where she earned all-tournament honors. She was also a key component of the team's lineup as a sophomore, ranking second on the team in both kills (254) and digs (378).

    In her four seasons between Augusta and Eckerd, Boatwright tallied 985 kills, 113 aces, and 1324 digs and was part of two teams that advanced to the NCAA National Tournament.

    Boatwright was also part of the rapid growth of the beach volleyball program at Eckerd. She amassed a 15-7 record as a senior on a team that finished runner-up at the AVCA Small College Championships.

    A native of Lakeland, Florida, she prepped at Lakeland High School where she was a three-time all-county selection.

SCHOLARSHIPS

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

Camps are open to any and all entrants, limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender.
