"Coach Pardalis definitely plays favorites. He has an old school mentality and can play head games with some of his players or make them feel like they aren’t good enough. He values education but doesn’t genuinely care about players when they are struggling or underperforming. He is stubborn and gets out coached always in big games. He has a temper and all the parents see it displayed during games. He will turn around and kick dirt up while you’re batting if you take a strike which is uncomfortable. During NCAA playoffs he broke a clipboard on ESPN+ which was so embarrassing for the program. His practices are repetitive and lazy. His captains are puppet masters for him and he’s pretty oblivious to the team drama/culture problems. Overall I did not see him as a fair coach. He could be very cold for an old man. He loves players that donate to the program - if you or your parents don’t pay up he will hold it against you. He’s miserable. "

Poor Communication Disorganized Old School Mentality

"Has her favorite players and not afraid to show it. They can strike out game after game and miss plays repeatedly and never loose their starting spot. You can tell which players she doesn't like at all and for no good reason. Allows players to be rude to Asst Coach and each other, which creates a very toxic environment and no team bonding. Practice plan is always the same and does not build athleticism. Doesn't have a plan B for games and repeats the same mistakes. Does not communicate well and is hard to approach. "

Poor Communication Accessible Cares About Academics Disorganized Intense

"Cares about grades but is legit clueless. Practices are disorganized, just focuses on defense. Working hard or even doing well does not mean you’ll get playing time. Often is randomly in a bad mood and will get angry during practices. Goes through phases of picking on specific players and favoring others, it shows a lot. The seniors have a lot of power: they will go up to her and tell her who they don’t want to play with and she does whatever they say it’s a joke really."

Poor Communication Accessible Cares About Academics Disorganized Intense

"Such a nice person but just not a good coach. Team defense is great, but has no understanding of offense. Basically no requirements for fitness, she did our conditioning last year we would just randomly do a few sprints now and then. Has high demands for grades you bring in but lacks understanding of how to actually help (will advise you to use a planner but that’s it lol) Will get a full 20+ hours out of you even in fall. Film is huge. Team culture is not great, a lot of complaining (it always seems like players don’t want to be there and put in the work), a lot of gossiping, when things go bad no one wants to hold themselves accountable not even the coach, everyone just blames each other."

"In the beginning of my softball career, she was a decent coach. She was good with communication, teaching, and all aspects of coaching, but by the end she has become lazy. She doesn't do much really, our assistant coach takes the role of the head coach. She does not do her job anymore period."

"Athletic complex is a bit off campus, you can walk there but the area is not very safe and gross. The locker rooms are good, trainers are never available, no fueling station or athlete specific dining hall. No benefits really to being an athlete at Manhattan tbh except you get to say you play a D1 sport but even my own teammates would say any NESCAC D3 school could easily beat us. The field is not owned by the school so you can’t just go whenever because more often than not it will be occupied by other teams from other schools or the GAA or closed. There also only is ONE field. I would walk over there so much to do extra work and it’s always either closed or occupied which was such a pain, because I needed the extra reps because our practices were useless. A bigger training room, a practice field or even just a schedule to see when it’s open and a fueling station would help. Imo the facilities don’t meet the standards for a D1 school."

"The campus was really cool and the facilities were really up to date especially for indoor track throwing. The coach gave off a weird vibe and it didnt help that the trip was mainly with him. "
