Ashlee Crowder is the Head Volleyball Coach in Florida Southern College.

Ashlee Crowder

Camp Director

Ashlee Crowder was named the fifth head coach in Florida Southern volleyball history in January of 2023. Crowder, who had previously served as an assistant coach at FSC from 2018-20, returned to Lakeland following two seasons as head coach at Florida Tech.

In her very first season at the helm, Crowder led the Moccasins to their 34th NCAA Regional appearance and earned the first victory at the NCAA South Region Tournament for the program since 2018. She guided four student-athletes to All-Sunshine State Conference honors including Mackenzie Petermann who became the first, First Team All-SSC selection of Crowder's tenure. Petermann went on to be the first AVCA All-America selection for the program since 2018.

She took over the Florida Tech volleyball program in August of 2021, just weeks before the regular season was scheduled to begin. She guided the program through a difficult 2021 season and began the rebuilding process. Her 2022 roster featured six freshmen, one redshirt freshman, three sophomores, three juniors, a senior, and a graduate student. Just five of the student-athletes on the 2022 roster had seen action in a Florida Tech uniform in 2021. Crowder led the Panthers to their first double-digit win total since 2015 and tied for the most wins since 2013.

Crowder spent three seasons as an assistant coach at FSC before taking over the head position at Florida Tech. She joined the Mocs coaching staff ahead of the 2018 season and helped guide the team to a 2018 NCAA South Region Tournament appearance. She also helped the program navigate the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic before getting the call to take over the Florida Tech program prior to the 2021 season.

Prior to her time at Florida Southern, Crowder was the assistant volleyball coach at the University of Indianapolis from 2016-18. Similar to her role at FSC, Crowder served as the recruiting and summer camp coordinator at UIndy. The Greyhounds earned a record of 28-35 over her two seasons in Indianapolis. Crowder helped coach freshman Olivia Martin, who came four digs shy of breaking the program record with most digs by a rookie in 2017. She also played a major role in the development of several key contributors, including many underclassmen like Anna Fehribach and Rachel Irbe, who led the team in kills.

Before heading to Indianapolis, Crowder spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Grand Valley State, where she helped the Lakers advance to two consecutive NCAA Tournaments. She was on the coaching staff in 2014 when GVSU went 27-6 overall, captured the Midwest Region Championship by sweeping all three opponents, and advanced to the NCAA Final Four in Louisville, Ky.

Crowder has also had success on the club volleyball circuit, leading the Michigan Volleyball Academy, based in Grand Rapids, Mich., to a pair of nearly undefeated seasons in 2012-13 (15-1) and 2015-16 (13-1). Additionally, she coached the Dead Frog Far Out Volleyball team in 2013-14, Team Indiana in 2016-17 and most recently served as Assistant Club Director of the Southern Select Volleyball Club from 2018-20.

An outside hitter herself, Crowder had a very decorated playing career at Hillsdale College. She continues to be Hillsdale's career leader in kills (1,703) and her 491 kills in 2009 are the third-highest single-season total in Charger history. Crowder was twice named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Player of the Year in 2010 and 2011 as well as the Daktronics Midwest Region Player of the Year in 2011. Additionally, she was a three-time AVCA All-American, including consecutive First Team All-America honors in 2010 and 2011. In 2018, Crowder was inducted into the Hillsdale College Athletics Hall of Fame.

A 2012 graduate of Hillsdale, Crowder earned her degree in physical education. She is also currently finishing her master's degree in special education from Grand Valley State.

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.

Taylor loved spending time with the staff and players and grew close to many of them throughout the week. She was excited to see what life would be like if she attended SEU and wants more than ever to play volleyball in college. Growing up in a smaller Christian school she loved making volleyball friends from across the country. It was a wonderful experience and we are planning to send Taylor back to this camp with her sister next summer :)
Very well ran camp. Coach Audrey considered everybody’s needs and changed the drills based on what we need to improve most on. Food was amazing and so were the coaches.
