Dr. Kimberly Harrell

Dr. Kimberly Harrell is entering her sixth season as the Belhaven Women's Soccer Head Coach and also assists the Athletics Department in the coordination of special projects.


The Blazers have seen a quick turnaround under Harrell in her first four seasons posting four straight winning campaigns and the first double-digit victory seasons (2019, 2021) since 2008. In her four seasons at the helm of the Belhaven Women's Soccer program, Harrell has had 23 All-Conference honorees, one CCS Goalkeeper of the Year, one USC Scholar-Athlete, one ASC Distinguished Scholar Athlete Team honoree, and one NSCAA All-South Scholar Athlete team honoree.


Harrell came to Belhaven from Richland High School, where she served as Head Girls' Soccer Coach and Assistant Director of Athletics. In Harrell's seven seasons as Head Coach at Richland High School, her teams compiled a record of 96-48-3. Prior to her arrival the program had never advanced beyond the first round of the state playoffs, and in each of her last four years the team played for the North State Championship, winning twice to advance to the Mississippi State Championship, an accomplishment unique in the history of all of the school's sports programs. The Rangers also won two District Championships during her tenure, which are the only two in program history.


In addition to her roles at Richland High School with Girls' Soccer and Athletics Department administration, Kimberly assisted with the Boys' Soccer program and the Softball programs. She also taught World History, Economics, Government and Social Studies, and was the Chair of the Junior High Social Studies Department.


A former student-athlete and second-leading goal scorer at Jones College, Harrell is also a graduate of Mississippi State University (Secondary Education), Mississippi College (Masters of Education) and Arkansas State University (Specialist Certification). Harrell also received her Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Belhaven University in December 2019.


Kimberly is married to Matt Harrell, and they are the proud parents of a daughter, Addison. They are active members of First Baptist Church Richland, and Harrell also participates in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Mississippi Association of Coaches.
