York College of Pennsylvania

"Although she is a good coach in terms of being knowledgeable about the game, Coach Fost is ruthless and doesn’t know when she is crossing the line. Calling out girls on their weight, mental health, and other factors that are harmful to one’s health and mindset. She is not worth 4 years of depression and anxiety build up. Take it from me, she is not someone you want to play for."

"Coach Scappa isn’t gonna baby you he’s a real coach who wants you to reach your full potential and a guy who would run through a wall for you if you’re willing to do the same. Soft people are scared of him… winners love him"

"I was apart of the recruiting class where 5 girls ended up transferring out within one year (all in the same grade). When you go through recruiting with her she will tell you she sees a bunch of potential and that you will fit right in. This is not the truth. She plays favorites EXTREMELY HARD and you will know the first day if you are not one. - separates starters, subs, and players who never see the field during practice (those who are not starters and key subs will never even be coached by her) - almost everyone had performance anxiety as she would move people into the sub group/players who never see the field group after one mistake (almost impossible to work your way back up after getting moved down) - during games rotations are pre-determined on a sheet of paper which is not to be deviated from no matter how bad/good people are playing - will keep starters in during games we are winning by 5+ goals just so they get the stats - over half the girls I know developed some form of depression/ED/or were just completely unhappy That being said loved my teammates more than life itself, however Katie Fost completely ruined a great environment and a competitive team by blatantly ignoring over half her players. And don’t be fooled she has been told this over and over again, but will not change and clearly it is starting to affect the program."

"During recruitment and follow-up conversations, the coaching staff gave my daughter the clear impression that this program offered a supportive, family-oriented team environment. That sense of trust and care was a major reason she chose this school. About a month into her freshman year, it became clear that this was not the reality. What followed felt like a complete bait and switch. From the start, coaches fostered animosity between teammates rather than unity. Injuries were routinely minimized or ignored, and my daughter’s mental health declined rapidly as a result of the environment. By her second year, the situation worsened—coaches were openly spreading rumors about their own wrestlers, further dividing the team as it grew. There was a consistent disregard for rules, athlete safety, and academics. Teammates were encouraged to be overly aggressive with one another. Trainers were pressured to clear wrestlers who should not have been cleared, and coaches repeatedly attempted to override medical professionals’ orders. Schoolwork—especially concerning at a Division III institution—was treated as an afterthought rather than a priority. What became painfully clear is that if a wrestler fell out of favor with the staff, the response was not support or development, but pressure—mental, physical, and emotional. The optimistic, motivated daughter we sent to college is not the same. What remains is someone still trying to rebuild after an experience that never should have happened. If you are considering this program for your daughter, I strongly encourage you to look elsewhere. "

"This coach was consistently putting his favorites above others to the point of mental physical and emotional harm. Only cared about winning. Doesn’t take injuries or athletic trainers seriously. Lied during recruitment. Poor organization and poor communication. Doesn’t know good freestyle technique and doesn’t coach in the corner. Intentionally sows discord between teammates in the room. "
