"Honestly, the only good thing I could say about this school is that the coaches and team were pretty nice. But the school overall is boring and doesn’t seem like they have much to offer me. It’s in the middle of nowhere and it seemed to me like nothing interesting goes on there and I couldnt see myself going there."

"Paul is arguably the worst coach I have witnessed in the 20 years that my kids have played soccer. He is a horrible communicator, punishes people for asking questions or standing up to him, and is mentally and emotionally abusive. He single-handedly ruined the men's soccer program at Carthage College."

Not The Worst But Far From The Best

Date: July 18, 2023

By Other

Disorganized Poor Communication

"Coach Penberthy was a lackluster coach in my opinion. Very nice person but does not make decisions based on knowledge. Training had the appearance of guesswork and assumptions. Does not seem interested in honest feedback from athletes. Concerns were also not communicated promptly nor directly with athletes in many cases, whether they be related or unrelated to practice. "
