O'Meara was also selected to coach the west team in the NEILA East-West All-Star game, twice as the head coach.

O'Meara began his coaching career as an assistant at Springfield College in 1994, helping Springfield to a runner-up finish in the 1995 NCAA National Championships. O'Meara was a four-year starter at the University of New Hampshire and was an all New-England selection in 1993. O'Meara graduated from New Hampshire in 1993 with a degree in Sports Communication and then furthered his education at Springfield, receiving a master's degree in Athletic Administration.
