ATU Volleyball continues to decline under the direction of Kera Dukic Coleman. No graduate assistance and NOW we have NO Assistant Coach. The assistant coach left to be an Assistant Coach for another NCAA Division 2 program. She needed to get away from the crazy culture at ATU Volleyball that Kera has developed. Not sure who will become the next Assistant Coach for ATU Volleyball if Kera is in charge of hiring that person. PLEASE ATU Athletics, take the initiative to be involved in the hiring process and bring a professional into the program. Please don't let Kera hire someone that she can manipulate and bully into going along with her "culture" which is toxic. Please use this opportunity to give the ATU Volleyball program a chance to improve with someone who is qualified and professional. Thank you

1-9 for this season so far... Ouch. Now that I no longer play for kera I enjoy sitting back, eating my bag of popcorn, and enjoy watching her scramble. She made me feel so small as a person, a player, and a teammate. Nothing is ever enough for her. She still stalks past players too on social media, yet acts like she’s so much better than you and is above all. She’s manipulative, controlling, and a liar. She still try’s to control players by emailing future or current coaches because she can’t handle that the reason why people leave this program is because of HER! I’ll tell you ATU is a great school, has great teachers, and a great Colosseum to play in. One thing the school is missing is a great volleyball coach. Will this be another year where she sits the team down and tells them she’s gonna get fired because they aren’t winning and it’s the teams fault? Or will kera take responsibility for once and realize she’s the problem? I’m gonna assume she’s gonna blame it on the team because that’s the type of coach she is:) anyways can’t wait to tune in for this weeks matches! Best of luck to the girls truly but I will never wish Kera any luck.

She plays her favorites end of story. And then when her favorites aren’t doing good she will throw you in third set and expects you to be huge game changer. Cycle repeats. If you aren’t her favorite don’t expect to to gain any time on the court. She will continuously play her favorites even if they don’t perform. You may be on the court one season then riding the bench next. Even when she tells you in meetings you will be playing next season and gives you more money. Don’t fall for it.

Reviews are more than true. Recruits please look up rosters over the years a contact any player that is not within that program anymore. They can vouch most of the things said on here are true. One just posted about some of her experience and talked about how depressed she was from Kera. Reach out!

It’s sad that the cycle is being repeated again over and over. What I mean by that is past player’s continuously being spoken on by ATUVB players. This is exactly what happened last year & started a lot of drama between both sides. And here it is beginning again. Me and others that are not with the program anymore are fed up with it and I’m calling the bs out. One girl currently on the team has been in contact with multiple players that have either been kicked off or have left the program. She has told them how a group of the girls on the team currently have been talking about them. Anytime and anywhere. It is completely sad and disheartening to hear this is going on. And she even said better yet the coach allows this type of behavior to continue. I was biting my tongue for long enough until I heard that this same player we thought was an alley is being two faced and also playing around with the gossiping. So I am calling this program out directly. If this does not stop legal action will be taken. We have text message proof, and voice recordings of this BLATANT DEFAMATION going on. The next step is serving this coach formally by a lawyer. PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT THERE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES.

I am a player that was at the prospect account that was held this past Saturday and I would like to share my experience with the Arkansas Tech Volleyball program. Coming into the camp I had very high hopes and expectations. Walking in the Tucker Collisium gym catches your eye very well. It is so big and bright that it really does make it a pro about this University. Everything else felt off though. It was very disorganized. The girls that were running the camp seemed very groupie and cliquish not only with the girls trying out but it seemed like there was an inner circle just within the team. Not all of the girls were like that there were a few that were very nice and helpful throughout the camp session. But it seemed like the ones within the group were very distant and not very willing to engage with us or even their own teammates unless they were within their group. During the camp, I felt very disoriented. It looked like the coach did not prepare very well for the session and the girls running it had little to know idea what was going on. I felt very out of place and felt like there were other prospect tryouts I would rather put my time and money towards before this one. After sitting down with my family and finding this review page I wish I could have found it sooner. After reading the last review about the tryout I felt that a lot of it was true. I would not have attended if I had known what it was going to be like.

I would like to say it is very frustrating that coach is making us lift all the way to Thanksgiving. People have had to move flights to come back early so they don’t miss weights. Coach doesn’t understand that some of us have not seen our family in months and the holidays are really important to us. We also have exams and packing that we have to think about as well. Reading day is also very frustrating. That is a mandatory off day for us students. I just wish coach would be alittle more considerate with us. Some of us have come to her about things and she either shuts us down or does not make herself approachable. I’m not for all of these reviews. But I have taken it to here to state my concern because, every time I try to go to her it never gets solved. She listens to these reviews more than her current girls that have given everything to her. I just cant wait to be home for the month with family and get away from Kera Dukic and her drama.

Did not like program, or what is offered. Could have been a very successful program at a great university. Coach Kera is ruining that.

All these reviews are all 100% true. look up the roster over the years and reach out to girls for validation if you would like. Don’t even waste your time or energy at this intramural program she has going on.

The other review before this one is 100% correct. This coach is about all of the opposite things you would want in a coach. One thing that she does is okay a lot of mind games. She will recruit about 8 girls in the same position as you and tell every single one of you that you will start or play. When she loses games she never takes ownership that she was out coached. She will instead have an intense huddle and say passive aggressive things to the whole team to make everyone question if it is them she is talking about or not. If you would like to excel at the next level this program is not for you at all. She is not fit to lead young woman. And ATU should be ashamed of themselves for keeping her around this long when players have come forward about issues they have had with her. Just to add to the fact she also has a DUI that she obtained while she was a coach here and they still didn’t fire her.
