Character

Kallman will act as team captain in 2013 after serving as co-captain as a junior in 2012. Head coach Mark Krikorian on the character of Kassey Kallman, “Kassey has established herself as one of the most outstanding student-athletes in the country. Her performance on the field has been consistent during her time at Florida State. She has performed at a very high level both as a Seminole and as a member of the U.S. national teams at various levels. In the classroom, she is an ‘A’ student and is as good of a leader as we have had here at Florida State. Her work ethic both on and off the playing field is the best that I have seen in a very long time.  When you talk about the total package, Kassey Kallman is a prime example.”

Community

Kassey has served in her community both in Tallahassee and in her home state of Minnesota over the last three years as a student-athlete at Florida State University. She has volunteered at organizations ranging from Relay for Life, Campus Safety Walk, several soccer clinics including FSU’s elite Project 4.0, Feed Starving Children and the Sport Shack serving in variety of different roles.
