Kenneth Bellamy

Emmanuel Athletics is thrilled to welcome Kenneth Bellamy as the next Head Coach of the Emmanuel Softball team!

Bellamy is a Beech Island, South Carolina native. He earned an associate degree at USC Salkehatchie playing baseball there for two seasons. He continued his baseball career at Paine College while pursuing an English degree and graduating Cum Laude.

He found passion for coaching while still in college, by coaching travel ball teams, eventually working his way up to the collegiate coaching realm. He began his coaching career at his alma mater, Paine College as an Assistant Baseball Coach before heading to his junior college alma mater, USC Salkehatchie where he served for eight years as a Head Coach. Following a year at Mercer University, Bellamy moved onto Georgia College & State University where he served as an Assistant Softball Coach for two years, later being named the interim Head Coach.

When asked his favorite aspect about coaching, Coach Bellamy didn't hesitate.

"I think my favorite part is watching the young ladies grow and mature during the four years they're with me," he said. "Getting to see them graduate and step out into the real world as adults, I like to see them grow and mature."

What will a Coach Bellamy coached team look like?

"High energy, we're going to be competitive," he said. "Lots of Life is something I say all the time. We're going to be a family; we're going to be there for each other. That's what I'm about, 1-22 or 25, we're all there together, doing it for each other."

What stuck out to him about Emmanuel?

"The small campus and town were something I liked," he said. "The team is very competitive; they compete for conference championships year in and year out. The overall family atmosphere here I really liked, that really sold me on Emmanuel."
