Marc Weekly is returning to the University of Tennessee as the volunteer assistant coach for the Lady Vols.
Weekly previously spent the better part of a decade in the volunteer role for the program, serving on staff from 2005-13. He was part of a coaching staff that shepherded the Lady Vols to six Women’s College World Series appearances during that time.
After leaving Tennessee, Weekly started the softball program at The King’s Academy, a high school in Seymour, Tennessee. During his six-year tenure leading that program, the squad won three state championships and more than two hundred games (207-41 overall). Weekly was named the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association’s Coach of the Year in 2016, ’17, and ’19.
A former collegiate football player at Pacific Lutheran College, Weekly played in a pair of NAIA national championship games and was named a first-team all-American on the gridiron in 1993. He later signed a minor league baseball contract before ultimately playing in the Canadian Football League. He was inducted into the Pacific Lutheran Hall of Fame in 2004.
Reports from WBIR-TV in Knoxville noted that Weekly will remain in the role of Vice President for Development for The King’s Academy.
In rejoining the Tennessee staff, Weekly reunites with his father, Ralph, who is co-head coach of the Lady Vols. Marc Weekly’s daughter, Regan, will be a freshman at Dartmouth during the 2020 season. Marc Weekly will replace program alum India Chiles in the volunteer assistant’s role on the Lady Vols’ coaching staff.
