SARASOTA, Fla. – New College of Florida announced this week the hiring of Corbin Weeks as its new softball head coach. Weeks comes to NCF after two very successful seasons as head coach at Montreat College, an NAIA member school located in Montreat, North Carolina. Weeks took over the program in May of 2023 and tripled the number of wins the team had over the previous season, including a 3rd place AAC finish in 2025. Under the leadership of Weeks, the Cavaliers averaged 32 wins a year over two seasons- including the 2025 AAC Freshman of the Year, three 1st team All-AAC players, and three NFCA All-Region players. Not only did his teams succeed on the field, but they also had success in the classroom. Eleven softball athletes were named to the AAC all-academic, eight were named Easton-NFCA Scholar Athletes, and two players received the AAC Champions of Character award.
New College Director of Athletics, Mariano Jimenez Jr., shared his excitement in welcoming Corbin Weeks to the New College Athletics program, stating that Weeks brings a wealth of experience and success as an NAIA coach as well as experience with the Sun Conference as a former student-athlete at Southeastern University.
"I am grateful for the administration at New College of Florida for allowing me to join the Banyan Softball program," shared Coach Weeks. "I am excited to get to work with our staff, and our players, as we pursue a Sun Conference championship. Our goal is to continue to build upon the vision that Coach Aly Bermudez put forth- to help these young athletes be the best version of themselves while playing the sport that they love."
Prior to leading Montreat's softball program, Weeks spent four seasons with the Montreat baseball program after joining the staff there in the winter of 2019. His primary duties included serving as the hitting and catching coach, assisting with recruiting, and overseeing baseball operations under head coach Jason Beck. During his two seasons as a full-time assistant (2022, 2023), Weeks helped coach the Cavaliers to two First Team All-AAC selections, three Second Team All-AAC nods, one spot on the All-AAC Gold Glove team, and one AAC All-Tournament team honor. The Cavs snagged five AAC Player of the Week awards during that same span, all while achieving remarkable results in the classroom, including four College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® nods and 38 AAC All-Academic Team honors. The 2022 and 2023 seasons also marked Montreat Baseball's first back-to-back winning seasons since 2008 and 2009.
Outside of Montreat College, Coach Weeks also spent the past several years as the owner of Next Level Baseball North Carolina and Carolina Prospects Softball. NLB NC, which Weeks founded in 2020, has seen approximately 50 of its athletes commit to colleges ranging from NCAA Division I to NJCAA. NLB NC teams have been a staple in the national Perfect Game rankings since their inception. Weeks later founded Carolina Prospects Softball in 2022.
Weeks began his coaching career at Florida 8A powerhouse George Jenkins High School (Lakeland, Fla.) for the 2017 season, before accepting the head coaching job at Mulberry High School (Mulberry, Fla.) for the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
Prior to his coaching career, Weeks was a player at Southeastern University (Fla.) under Coach Beck. The Fire finished as the runner-up at the 2013 NCCAA D1 National Championship, losing to Cal Baptist University. In 2014, Weeks helped lead the Fire to their best season in program history (46-16), while winning The Sun Conference for the first time in school history. The Fire fell just short of the NAIA World Series after losing to Georgia Gwinnett in the regional final. In 2015, Weeks' season was cut short due to a career-ending arm injury. He finished his career with a .293 batting average, 105 hits, 22 doubles, six home runs, and 65 RBIs in 145 games.
Weeks will be joined in Sarasota by his wife, Sydnie, and their children.
The softball team will work to build off the success of their first season in the Sun Conference where they made a splash in their first Conference tournament appearance highlighted by a dramatic win over Keiser University. Make sure to stay tuned for more information about New College Softball!
