"He brings a bunch of talented girls into the team. Then sits them on the bench and brings down their morale and self esteem. He does not care to win. If your daughter can hit and field she will qualify in his eyes to be a bench warmer. Do not bring your girl to this school to play ball. The college does nothing to get rid of the problem. Todd is the problem. Also when going to the Branson 11 day event. Send lots of money with your child as the coaches barely provide and food for them to eat while there. Door dash will be the way to get food. "

"He is an absolutely horrible softball coach. He knows nothing about the game an does not play to win. He plays favorites with the girls even if they aren’t performing in the field or at the plate. He also talks about players to other players in a negative manner causing team animosity . When he recruits for the team be blatantly lies to the girls. Makes promises that he doesn’t keep. When speaking to upperclassmen they say he lied to them. He is very egotistical and coaches the team with a what I say goes attitude. Doesn’t matter if what he says is wrong or doesn’t make sense. He had also told the players that they are not to wear leggins to practice either because he thinks they are too fat or its just distracting to the male coaches"

"Coach Verwers is a good coach who cared about me and had my best interest as a athlete and as a individual. He was a great motivator to me, and I believe was a very fair coach to play for. I appreciated his honestly when I needed it. Coach Verwers is a great coach who keeps himself busy every season of the year coaching different sports, if that doesn’t tell you how dedicated and how much heart this man has for sports then I’m not sure what will. I loved playing for him, I love the perspective he made me see for the game. Awesome man. "

"Did not coach, said if you had sex with more men than toes you were a whore, yet proceeded to sleep with his players… Had no respect to teaching his players to play the game, did the same drills every practice and we coached ourselves. Do not play for him. "

"I would not recommend him as a coach he does not know how to coach young players and expects the most out of them as if they already know everything they are suppose to do. "
