"If you are reading this then you came to the right place. Allison Keeley SHOULD NOT be coaching, period! She is the epitome of a BULLY coach, always negative, always putting down the girls with destructive criticism. She constantly shames them during practice and games, demoralizing each player to the point that they are either afraid of playing, or simply do not want to win for her. She also plays favorites, in which her favorites are the girls that unfortunately don’t speak up about this injustice/abuse. Just look at what she has done to the 2024 Kutztown Volleyball team…scores of upperclass have quit or transferred in past years, resulting in a struggling team that went an appalling 1-27! Girls that play for her are under HEAVY MENTAL ABUSE, often losing their passion to continue playing volleyball. She has a very checkered past, as she comes into a school, decimates the program, kills the team culture, then moves on to the next unsuspecting “victim” school. Please read all the comments on this post, and watch some of the online videos as well from past players so you don’t make this mistake. Shame on KU Athletic Director for hiring her, and for the inevitable next college that unfortunately picks her up. Don’t become another victim by playing for her, you will absolutely regret it!"
"Allison Keeley is an ineffective coach and a horrible human being. She has ruined the sport for many female athletes and does not deserve to be coach at any level of the sport. She tells parents that she cares about the athlete’s well being and then proceeds to verbally and emotionally abuse them in front of their teammates. In her first season at Kutztown, she decimated the team roster, getting rid of recognized team leaders and starters whom she feared would not put up with her abusive tactics. And the KU athletic director looked the other way when more than half of the remaining team members quit citing incidents of verbal and emotional abuse. Shame on you Keeley and shame on you KU for letting this horrible person continue to coach in your program. "
"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. "
"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. "
