The Forge

The Forge – UVF’s Indoor Turf Hub

A Place Where Iron Sharpens Iron
“The Forge” was named by our student athletes to symbolize teamwork and excellence—fueling each other’s growth through intentional, focused effort.

Location & Origins

Recently installed in Capeci Hall, UVF partnered with the Phoenixville Area Soccer Club to turf an underutilized gym space into a cutting-edge indoor turf field.
This transformation, enabled through a 5-year community partnership, cost approximately $40,000 and now serves both university athletics and the larger Phoenixville soccer community.

Versatile, Year-Round Athletic Space

Strength & Conditioning: Ideal for agility drills, sled pushes, farmer’s carries, and team lifts—“The Forge” brings energy and space to our offseason and in-season workouts.
Indoor Soccer Training: With turf-quality footing, teams can run technical drills and small-sided games regardless of weather.
Baseball & Softball Reps: Complete with hitting cages and pitching areas, our athletes can fine-tune mechanics all year long.
Intramural & Recreational Use: Available for intramural soccer and student-led activities, the field also encourages the wider student body to stay active.

Community & Team Impact

UVF athletes, coaches, and community share access during evenings and weekends—maximizing use while bridging our campus and community.
Baseball players and coaches praise the space: “I know of some D-1 schools that don’t have a facility near this caliber; it's a great place for us to get our work in and progress our game”
