Colm McFeely enters his ninth year as the head coach of the women's soccer program, but his long history with Occidental soccer dates back to 1992. After 10 years serving as an assistant coach he took over control of the men's and women's programs in 2002.  

Colm also serves as an assistant athletic director.

After five years running both programs, McFeely handed the reigns of the men's program over to DJ Waddington, and eventually the current coach Rod Lafurie. 

In June 2012, McFeely was promoted to an assistant athletic director role, joining the administrative staff on top of coaching the women's soccer team. He oversees the baseball, soccer and golf programs, serves as the department's liaison to dining services and is the coordinator of student housing. 

Before coaching, McFeely was a professional soccer player for many years. His 17-year playing career included around 500 competitive games in his native Ireland, Australia, and Hong Kong. He has won an Irish Division I league championship medal, played in the European Champions' Cup Competition, and was a Hong Kong All-League selection from 1974-80.

Holder of a FIFA coaching license, McFeely also coached for more than 10 years in Hong Kong, where he founded the Hong Kong Harps Football Club. As player/coach, he led the Harps from Division 3 to Division I status in three years, the only Hong Kong coach ever to achieve that feat.

McFeely has been on the CYSA-S Olympic Development Program (ODP) coaching staff for almost 10 years and helped coach the 2000 U16 Boys and the 2001 U18 Boys to ODP National Championship victories. A number of these players went on to represent the USA at various national team levels. McFeely also coached the Notre Dame HS boys program for 10 years and in 1993 was selected NSCAA/UMBRO State Coach of the Year for California.
