Stockton University

"What a terrible experience all around. A total disappointment. I wouldn’t even have given 1 star but wasn’t able to submit this until I did. "

"Our experience with this baseball organization was incredibly disappointing. From the very beginning, we were given the impression that this program had strong connections and opportunities that simply never materialized. The expectations that were set during the recruiting process did not match the reality once the season started. Communication was one of the biggest issues. Parents were constantly left wondering where we were supposed to be, what uniforms the players were expected to wear, whether games or plans had changed, and sometimes whether we’d even have a coach. Basic information that should have been communicated well in advance often wasn’t. When coaches did show up, it was common for them to arrive only 5–10 minutes before game time. There were even occasions where players and parents were waiting while the coach was still in the parking lot, and at times coaches were reportedly still in their cars just minutes before games while the director was searching for them. There were also instances where coaches appeared to be asleep in their cars shortly before games were scheduled to begin. Meanwhile, the kids were left on the field playing hacky sack instead of properly warming up. That left the players with little to no preparation or instruction before taking the field, and pitchers in particular were not given adequate warm-ups, which led to arm discomfort and concerns about player safety. It was frustrating to watch the players—who work hard and deserve better—be put in that position. Another concern was roster size. Teams were carrying 15–17 players, making it obvious that not every child was going to receive meaningful playing time. It felt like collecting roster fees was prioritized over giving every player a fair opportunity to develop and contribute. The players deserved organization, preparation, communication, and leadership. Unfortunately, those things were consistently lacking throughout our experience. I would strongly encourage parents to ask detailed questions about roster sizes, coaching availability, communication expectations, and player development before committing their time and money. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this organization."

"If you want to end up in a mental hospital this is the coach to be with. She is unstable, promotes toxic team environments, abusive relationships, and gives no constructive feedback, she just tries to tear you down. The pettiness of this coach is to another level and her actions towards players and coaches is unprofessional. "

"Absolutely horrible. Ask any player how they feel about this coach. Take a look at how many players have quit. He’s verbally abusive- telling players they don’t belong playing at college and calls them soft among other things I can’t write. He doesn’t communicate at all with his players. He’s all about you when he’s recruiting you and then when you get there forget it. You may play a few games then never play again. He’ll put you in for 5 min Never subs. He’ll leave his players in completely exhausted in a championship game and not sub once. He sucks. This truly has nothing to do with playing time and all about how he treats these young men who came to play soccer. Well thanks to him many players now hate soccer and never want to play again. Horrible coach. I know many people have wrote letters to the college before and literally nothing gets done. The only positive is that the boys truly love their team- each other. They are amazing young men who have to be belittled and treated poorly on a daily basis. Do better Stockton. "

"Mav was sleeping with one of her players during her first year coaching at Stockton. Her assistant coach at the time also slept with a player a few years later. This program is very “cult” like and will probably end up with you in therapy unpacking all the horrible things mav has said or done to you. She is an adult bully that takes advantage of her players. Take this as a warning and send your kids to Rowan, Stockton softball is a joke "
