Our daughter was a transfer into the UNCW program. We are so thankful she found a home at UNCW. Coach Neal and his entire coaching staff are amazing. They treat the players with respect and dignity. They are kind and caring, and most importantly, they understand soccer. Coach Neal and his team are well-versed in the game and coach to the teams strength, as is evident by their winning history. Navigating the college soccer landscape is tough especially for high achieving players who are looking for the right program, after our daughter transferred here, we can say first hand, this is what a good program is and should be. For future athletes considering UNCW as an option, know, this is a program where excellence is expected and rewarded, and the culture is positive.

Cuts about 6 players on average a year because the program never wins anything. When it’s just because he’s a bad coach

I worked my entire life to play division 1, and unfortunately this coach ruined the entire experience for me. This coach was extremely emotional and unprofessional. She would throw temper tantrums if you did not understand or properly facilitate the drill she explained. She took a team that was conference champions under previous leadership, and turned it into the worst record year over year in program history. This had nothing to do with talent and everything to do with the toxic environment she cultivated. This woman plays minds games and promotes attitude and drama over leadership. She repeatedly established dominance over other staff members through public displays of disrespect and hierarchy. Additionally, she will select a small group of individuals that are most similar to her, and anyone else with a different worldview or personality is left by the wayside. Truly does not care about her other staff or the bulk of her players. The UNCW Women’s Volleyball program deserved better.

Horrible experience. Half of the freshman girl class either quit or transferred. Doesn’t see you as a person, holds meetings yelling/speaking at you not with you. Culture of fear and depression on the women’s team. Only cares about the image of the team on social media. Has caused significant mental harm to many athletes. Athletic department doesn’t do anything bc the team wins. So focused on finding the next best thing and the teams social media presence he neglects the athletes that uprooted there lives, many not on scholarship and belittles them until they feel worthless. Please choose another program if you are currently being recruited. I love Wilmington as an area more than anything but I couldn’t ignore the toll this program and environment was taking on my mental health.
