I coached in the youth system affiliated w Coach Roberts’ staff. He’s extremely knowledgeable in terms of tactics and communication. He’s great with kids, respectful of his adult players, and builds a great atmosphere.

Nothing but positive things to say. He is very driven and expects a lot from his players however this drive enabled me to develop as a person and player. I received accolades for my performances during my playing day. Craig has been a strong reference for me and written reference letters that I believe helped me in my early stages to get a job.

Personally, I had a very good experience with Craig as my coach during my time at Ball State. Though I had teammates who felt otherwise, I feel a major problem was the fact that Craig was extremely direct with his communication and did not excuse/take it easy on players who did not follow team rules and expectations…but honestly, my prior coach before I came to Ball State was much much worse. He truly exhibited sexist behavior and verbal/emotional abuse. Craig was always respectful towards me and was an actual caring coach who wanted to maximize my experience on and off the pitch. For me, Craig revitalized my passion for soccer and led our team to great success. Yes, I feel Craig needs to improve on his ability to control his temper and think before he speaks to players and referees, but I do not think he deserves to be labeled as abusive. When I look back on my collegiate experience, I believe Craig was someone who was a positive light on my athletic and academic experience. Though others have shared differing opinions, this is my honest feedback on MY experience.

Craig Roberts was my high school coach. He improved our program and got production out of a team without top-tier experience or talent.

I played for Coach Roberts as a collegiate athlete. Not only does he know the game of soccer, but he cares about you as a player and person and will guide you in the right direction - even if it’s not what you want to hear at the time. Methodical, strategical and passionate coach. Very memorable.

My fours years with Craig were awful. This man should never coach women. He is sexest and corrupt. Why he has not been fired yet is beyond me.
