I played for this coach from 2014-2016 and I would NOT allow her to coach any young women that I know. She plays favorites, insults her players intelligence and makes them feel less than. If you are not one of her starters, you do not matter as much to her and she does not try and hide that. There is a GOOD reason she has been bouncing around from program to program for the last decade.

She went out of her way to support and help her athletes that were having personal issues. She cares more for her athletes then most be people could possibly imagine. It was a great learning experience to watch the compassion and help she provided those her really needed someones help. She always put their wellbeing over the need to win games. A incredibly caring individual,thanks.

She was great at helping me. I felt she truly cared about me and the team. Coach Keeley is direct and you know what she expects. That being said she will do whatever you need to succeed, I just realized I had to be open with her and stop saying I'm fine. I had a lot on my plate and took it out on others but coach never gave up and I am so glad she was my coach. She didn't just want us to succeed in volleyball but everything we did. I think some players got upset when they couldn't get their way. I've had several coaches through the years and coach Keeley did her best to manage many personality types. Everyone has to do their part not just the coach.

Toxic, abusive and divisive. Body shames her athletes. Ineffective preparation and game planning. Archaic and rigid strategies. Incapable of making sensible game or line-up adjustments to utilize her talented roster and wastes subs. 100% uninspiring. Worst volleyball coach ever encountered in 12 years. Allison Keeley needs to be banned from coaching volleyball at every level. Her brand of coaching is an assault on the mental health of young minds and has no place in youth/collegiate sports.

Allison Keeley has a history of abusive coaching practices that have remained hush hush, which enables her to start over at a new University causing significant mental heath issues for her players. Universities need to wake up and take complaints from athletes seriously. This is not tough coaching, this is toxic coaching that is harmful.

Current coach at Kutztown University. 7 players quit mid season citing mental health issues brought on by the coach. Gaslights the student athletes while creating a divide amongst the team.
