Debbie Kiick was named Millikin's first full-time head softball coach in June 2007. She is also Millikin's head volleyball coach, beginning her seventh season in 2007.

A proven winner on both the volleyball court and the softball field, Kiick will look to her past coaching accomplishments to elevate the softball program. With 12 seasons of high school softball coaching under her belt, including Mount Zion (1982-83) and Warrensburg-Latham (1992-01), Kiick compiled a 168-67 (.715) record. She has coached 29 years of summer softball ranging from age group teams to traveling competitive leagues, developed a traveling fast pitch youth league and has given pitching lessons.

As a player, Kiick suited up for the varsity softball team at Eastern Illinois University from 1976-80 and played for and trained under current Illinois State head coach Melinda Fisher. She has also been mentored by Margie Wright, a former professional pitcher, pitching coach for the first Olympic softball team and current head coach of Fresno State University.

On the volleyball court, Kiick wrapped up her sixth season with the Big Blue in 2006 with a 23-14 record after leading the team to the first NCAA appearance of her career in 2005. Prior to joining the Millikin staff in 2001, Kiick served as the head volleyball and softball coach at Warrensburg-Latham High School for 11 seasons. Her Cardinals volleyball teams went 275-83 and Kiick earned Macon County Volleyball Coach of the Year honors four times.
