James Culotta will be entering his fourth season at the helm of the Coe Women's Soccer program. He has worked as an Assistant Coach at Ohio Wesleyan University, the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, and Marian University. He also has high school and club coaching experience in Oregon, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Iowa. This fall the Women's Soccer roster will be tied for the third largest team in program history with 31 players. We are also excited about the continuity we will have, returning 21 players from last season, while only graduating 1 player from last fall's team.
What sets Coe College apart from other ID Camps or College Programs?
" The thing that sets us apart is our culture. We have good people and good leaders here. We are unified in our goal of creating an environment that is fun and engaging to come to work every day. We strive to give our best effort in everything that we do: soccer, academics, and being a good teammate and friend. Our culture is always under construction, there is always work that needs to be done. We are intentional about building strong relationships and being able to have open lines of communication so we can best serve each other."
What is something that I can look forward to at this ID Camp?
"A couple things. First, you will be playing on our brand new turf field. It is being resurfaced on May 12th and construction will finish up in late June. Secondly, our player panel is unique. You will be able to interact and ask questions with current players, all who have been here through different phases of our rebuild. One of these players has worked with our staff for 3 years and is our senior captain. The first player to commit to Coe under my leadership as the head coach will also be in attendance. She can talk about the mission and vision of where we are headed and the steps she has seen us make in her time here. You will also be able to talk with a player who attended the ID Camp a couple years ago and committed to play at Coe. All of our players will be transparent about their experiences here and what you can expect from our staff, your time with the team, and the value that is brought from being a part of our program. Finally, you will get personalized attention from our staff. We really use these camps to identify future Kohawks. Seven players of our current roster for 2025 attended an ID Camp at Coe, which is 23% of the team.
Can my parents/family watch the sessions?
"Yes, your family can absolutely watch the sessions. They can even stay for lunch, we just need to know in advance so we can make sure to order enough food for everyone. A $10/person charge is added to accommodate this."
