Linda Hampton-Keith joins the Cardinals as the volunteer coach for the volleyball team at the University of Louisville for the 2021 season.
“We feel very fortunate to add a coach with Linda’s experience to our staff. Linda has a history of success at Power 5 schools all over the country. We are excited for what she can bring to our program on and off the court,” said head coach Dani Busboom Kelly.
Hampton-Keith brings a wealth of experience to the Cardinals’ program after serving as the head coach at NC State for four seasons. In her first season with the Wolfpack, Hampton-Keith guided the team to 13 ACC wins and then the team followed up that season with a program record 15 ACC wins and its first NCAA tournament win in school history. In all, she led NC State to 16 new team season records, 11 individual career and season records, 11 All-ACC selections, five AVCA All-Region selections and two AVCA All-Americans.
“I am grateful for this opportunity of join such a well-respected, accomplished staff and program. I look forward to continuing to grow as a coach and hope to positively impact the ongoing success of Louisville volleyball,” said Hampton-Keith.
Before her stint at NC State, she served as associate head coach for three of her five seasons at Arizona State, achieving four NCAA tournament appearances as the Sun Devils reached as high as No. 5 in the national rankings in 2015 after a 15-0 start.
Her recruiting efforts resulted in nationally-ranked classes in four of her five years in Tempe. ASU’s 2013 recruiting class was tabbed No. 13 in the nation by PrepVolleyball.com, one of the highest in program history. During her time with the Sun Devils, the program produced two All-Americans, two all-region performers, five All-Pac 12 selections and four Pac 12 All-Freshman Team members.
Prior to her stint at Arizona State, Hampton-Keith spent six seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Texas Christian University. While in Fort Worth, she helped the Horned Frogs post four consecutive winning seasons and earn their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2009, which included a 3-0 victory against Rice in the first round.
Hampton-Keith has also worked closely with the nation’s top youth players through the USA Volleyball Youth Development Programs. She coached at USA High Performance camps from 2001-05, served as head coach for the USA Volleyball North Texas Region Team in 2007, assisted the Youth National A2 Team in 2009, and most recently assisted the USA Collegiate National Team in 2013 and 2014.
She and her husband Maark are the parents of a daughter, Yaeli.
